Abstract

Background/Aims: Meta-analysis shows hospitalized U.S. patients suffer 106,000 fatal adverse drug events (ADE) annually. Errors in admission medication histories (AMH) frequently cause preventable ADEs. There is also concern that electronic health records (EHR) propagate AMH errors into ADEs by making AMHs easily orderable. We hypothesized that for patients with complex AMHs, pharmacist-supervised pharmacy technician (PSPT) and pharmacist AMH interviews would reduce AMH errors.
