Hospital pharmacy is a specialized field of pharmacy that involves the safe and effective dispensing and management of medications within a hospital setting. Hospital pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to ensure the appropriate use of medications for patients admitted to the hospital. This includes medication reconciliation, monitoring for drug interactions or adverse effects, and providing drug information to healthcare professionals and patients. Hospital pharmacists also play a key role in the development and implementation of medication management protocols, formulary decisions, and medication safety initiatives within the hospital. They work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes and ensure the best possible care for patients.
