Using pharmacological therapy to treat a patient's underlying condition is common in today's medical field. Although these therapies can be beneficial, they can also cause significant harm to the patient. One study found that almost 11% of prescriptions have errors, and 16% of these errors result in harm to the patient.[8] This situation makes it essential that dosing medications are done with an interprofessional team to ensure efficacy and safety. Ways to help facilitate this would be by: Having an open line of communication between all clinicians and specialties – this is especially true in instances of transition of care Ensure clinicians and pharmacists work together to ensure proper dosing and medication choice Order drug blood concentrations when clinically appropriate Educate family and patient about potential adverse drug reactions Ensure appropriate specialties are involved with the care of a patient when deemed appropriate Computerized prescribing and order entry systems should have dosing checks to flag potential dosing errors and offer recommendations for correct dosing. Interprofessional efforts become even more essential when a situation with a patient becomes more critically ill, requiring higher levels of care. By working in an interprofessional team, patient outcomes can improve, and medication errors can be avoided.[9] [Level 4]
