Clinical Pharmacist Impact Study

This study was conducted to assess the impact of a structured pharmacist-led medication-safety program implemented across inpatient units in a multispecialty hospital. The program incorporated routine clinical pharmacist review of inpatient medication therapy and the use of smartphone-based clinical decision-support applications to assist with identifying potential medication issues and supporting therapeutic optimization.

The intervention was applied prospectively in both adult and pediatric inpatients receiving pharmacologic treatment. All activities were performed as part of routine clinical service enhancement, without the use of investigational drugs or devices. The study focused on evaluating medication-safety indicators, clinical process measures, and patient-related outcomes before and after implementation of the pharmacist-led program.

The aim of the project was to enhance medication accuracy, reduce preventable medication-related problems, and support evidence-based decision-making in a real-world hospital environment. This description summarizes the overall service-improvement approach without disclosing study-specific operational details.
