| description | <p><strong>Objective:</strong> To determine the perception and evaluation of the Emergency pharmacist by the medical and nursing staff
at the Emergency department.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> A multicenter study based on a survey sent to the Spanish Society of
Hospital Pharmacists (SEFH) for Emergency pharmacists (EPh) to distribute among the Emergency staff. Descriptive statistics were used,
with a 95% confidence interval.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> 102 (12%) questionnaires were completed by 73 Emergency Physicians
(71.6%) and 29 Emergency Nurses (28.4%), out of 835 surveys sent. The most common pharmaceutical activities, and perceived as more
relevant for patient safety, were: consultation solution, prescription validation, and medication reconciliation. 63% of respondents supported the
prospective review of high-risk medications, while 89% believed that the Pharmacist improves the quality of care. EPh are considered useful
for training healthcare staff and patients, and 77% of respondents considered them as an integral member of the team. They would resort more
to Pharmacists if they were present at the hospital department.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The results show the acceptance of
Hospital Pharmacists in the Emergency Department; their functions are known and valued. They are considered an integral member of the
team, who will provide safety and improve patient care. Medication reconciliation and prescription validation are highlighted because of their
relevance in terms of safety. Further studies are needed to assess health outcomes and their economic impact.</p><p> </p> |
