Why the study?
Pediatric perioperative clinical pharmacists are uniquely positioned to provide therapeutic and medication management expertise during transitions of care, but their roles and intervention areas needed to be outlined.
Pediatric perioperative clinical pharmacists play a crucial role in optimizing medication management and safety during transitions of care in the surgical setting.
May inform pharmacist roles in pediatric perioperative care; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.
Pediatric perioperative clinical pharmacists are uniquely positioned to provide therapeutic and medication management expertise at a particularly vulnerable transition of care from the preoperative space, through surgery, and postoperative setting. There are many direct-patient care activities that are included in the role of the pediatric perioperative pharmacist, as well as many opportunities to develop effective, optimized, and safe medication use processes. This article outlines many of the areas in which a pediatric perioperative clinical pharmacist may intervene.
