  • Analysis of program impact on medication errors and clinical roles.
  • Discussion of current challenges and future implications.

    • Main Results:

    • The program successfully reduced medication errors and expanded the clinical role of pharmacy.
    • Clinical programs established under this initiative have become independent.
    • Pharmacy-nursing relations have reportedly declined recently.
    • The program demonstrated safety, effectiveness, and cost reduction potential.

    Conclusions:

    • Pharmacy-coordinated drug administration programs are safe, effective, and reduce medication errors.
    • These programs offer significant value, especially given nursing shortages and costs.
    • Decisions regarding such programs should prioritize patient care and economics over professional politics.
