The Outcome of Clinical Pharmacists' Interventions in a Taiwanese Hospital on Pharmacoeconomics and Cost Saving

Conclusion Interventions provided by hospital clinical pharmacists significantly prevented potential ADEs by monitor actively drug therapy and patient safety at the intensive care unit, cardiology, neurology, and nephrology care units. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to document the potential cost saving and obtained a benefit:cost ratio of 8.4:1 based on the implementation of a proper medication management and use provided by five clinical pharmacists for 6 months in a Taiwan hospital.
