NEW Australian research has demonstrated that a collaborative model of doctors and pharmacists working together can reduce medication errors and length of hospital stays.
Described as the largest study of its kind, conducted across seven hospitals in Victoria, and involving 8,648 patients, the study was led by researchers at Monash University's Centre for Medicine Use and Safety.
The model showed a reduction in medication errors from 66% to 3.6% and reduced average length of stay from 4.7 to 4.2 days.
