Integrating the Clinical Pharmacists Into Emergency Department Teams

There will be two shifts, one shift from 08.00 - 15.00 and one from 12.00 - 19.00. Consequently, the hours of the day when the majority of patients arrives, are covered and the pharmacist capacity is doubled during the busiest time of the day. Early mornings are normally relatively slowed paced and the pharmacist may use this time to follow up on patients admitted during the night (from 19.00 - 08.00), in particularly those who have been admitted to wards without an assigned pharmacist.
