ABSTRACT:

Aim

To identify common drug-related problems (DRPs) during pharmacy intervention and consultation in an intensive care unit (ICU); to explore the gap between physicians and pharmacists on their understanding of each other's capabilities and needs.

Method

Result

Implementation of PC model greatly imp
