Benefit of medication reviews by renal pharmacists in the setting of a computerized physician order entry system with clinical decision support.

In the setting of prescribing in a CPOE-CDS-system, that provides physicians with advice for drug or dose adaption, the pharmacist-led medication reviews still identified DRP in orthopaedic and trauma patients with RI. A RPCS forwarding recommendations to solve DRP via the electronic medical record increased appropriate prescribing by physicians and, thus, may further improve patient safety.
