Short Description
The project is the evaluation of the Partnered Pharmacist Medication Charting service at Flinders Medical Centre. This was the first site in South Australia to implement PPMC, a service where clinical pharmacists are able to work beyond their scope of practice through interprofessional collaboration with doctors in Acute Medicine Unit and General Medicine. PPMC involves the pharmacist proactively contributing to patient care by also charting medicines for inpatients, which is known to lead to significantly reduced medication errors and lengths of stay.
