Abstract
Medication errors (MEs) are harmful to patients during hospitalization, especially elderly patients. To reduce MEs, an integrated medication management (IMM) model was developed in a 2500-bed medical center, allowing a clinical pharmacist to participate in the daily ward round and perform medication reconciliation and medication reviews. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the IMM model on MEs and medication utilization using a quasi-experimental design.
