Pharmacy-coordinated, multidisciplinary adverse drug reaction program.
To date, the stated program objectives have been met. There is a heightened awareness of ADRs, and the program has had a positive impact on patient care. More work is needed in the prevention of ADRs as opposed to their tabulation. Future educational efforts will focus on how reporting suspected ADRs can positively impact patient care.
