Pharmacist Mobile App Intervention in Pediatric Inpatient
The goal of this study is to learn whether a clinical pharmacist-led medication review, supported by medical mobile applications, can improve the safety and quality of care for hospitalized children. The study compares usual care with enhanced pharmacist involvement to understand whether this approach reduces medication-related problems and supports better clinical outcomes.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Does the pharmacist-led review help identify and prevent medication issues in pediatric inpatients?
Can this intervention improve the overall quality of care during hospitalization?
Does the use of mobile medical applications assist pharmacists in making safer medication decisions?
Participants will:
Receive either routine care or routine care plus daily medication review by a clinical pharmacist
Have their medications assessed regularly to identify potential problems
Be followed during their hospital stay to observe clinical outcomes
