Approaches to medication history taking in different hospital settings: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: Most approaches focused on pharmacy staff, which are associated with considerable cost and resources. Therefore, IT-based approaches and patient engagement should be investigated as cost-effective alternatives and tested for superiority in the same setting. Reporting guidelines and standardized methodology are needed to improve the comparability of such studies.PMID:38660785 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae112 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)

National trends in prescription drug expenditures and projections for 2024
CONCLUSION: For 2024, we expect overall prescription drug spending to rise by 10.0% to 12.0%, whereas in clinics and hospitals we anticipate an 11.0% to 13.0% increase and a 0% to 2.0% increase, respectively, compared to 2023. These national estimates of future pharmaceutical expenditure growth may not be representative of any health system because of the myriad of local factors that influence actual spending.PMID:38656319 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae105 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)
