Why is Pharmacist Involvement Important in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)?
Pharmacist involvement in NICUs is critical for several reasons:
- Reducing Medication Errors: Their presence helps to reduce medication errors, which are more likely in the high-stress environment of NICUs. - Optimizing Therapeutic Outcomes: Pharmacists' expertise in pharmacotherapy ensures that neonates receive the most appropriate and effective treatments. - Enhancing Safety Protocols: They contribute to developing and implementing safety protocols to prevent adverse drug events.
