Abstract
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a significant cause of emergency department (ED) visits in North America and are frequently misdiagnosed. Despite evidence supporting improved health care outcomes for ED patients who have a pharmacist-led medication review, EDs do not have sufficient clinical pharmacists to perform medication reviews on all patients. The study reviewed in this article aimed to validate clinical decision rules for use by clinical pharmacists and physicians to prioritize ED patients with ADEs.
