Clinical Pharmacological Reconciliation, Review and Feedback in Ensuring
Patient Safety
Abstract
Medically qualified clinical pharmacologists specialise in drugs and
their usage. Thus, a clinical pharmacologist should be involved in
patient education, drug development, access and utilisation research,
policy and procedure development, and safer medicine use. India has 5.2
million medication errors yearly, which are just a fraction of
healthcare system incidents. Clinical pharmacological reconciliation,
review, and feedback (CPRRF) is essential to reduce medication-related
tragedies. Clinical pharmacologists can employ CPRRF principles to
improve patient safety and efficacy.To improve patient safety, the World
Health Organisation wants to integrate Clinical Pharmacology into the
health care system. However, this is taking time. Policymakers should
design and execute novel strategies to speed up this process.
