Abstract
Hospital pharmacists have an important and unique role in health care, one that significantly affects patient outcomes. However, the majority of published literature has been based on hospital pharmacy practice models in the developed world. The Basel Statements were the result of an inaugural global conference held in Basel, Switzerland, in 2008, hosted by the Hospital Pharmacy Section of the International Pharmaceutical Federation. These global consensus statements reflect the profes sion’s preferred vision for hospital pharmacy. 1 Currently, the 75 statements (covering all areas of the medication-use process in hospitals, including medicine procurement, influences on prescribing medicines, preparation and delivery of medicines, administration of medicines, monitoring of medication practice, and human resources and training) are undergoing minor updat ing, with revisions to be completed this year, while the general principles of evidence-based practices and medication safety will remain unchanged.
