Abstract

The amount of money spent on healthcare throughout the world is rising at an unsustainable pace. The amount of money spent on drugs and dealing with issues that come up with them keeps going up. A lot of pharmaceutical mistakes and wrong prescriptions happen in healthcare systems, and these mistakes may frequently lead to bad drug events that might have been avoided. Pharmacists have the knowledge and skills to find, fix, and stop prescription mistakes and other issues connected to medications, which means they might have a big effect on lowering healthcare costs. In the last several decades, clinical pharmacy practice has grown, and now there are more pharmacists working in clinically advanced jobs across the globe. Pharmacist-provided services and clinical interventions have shown efficacy in mitigating the risk of adverse medication events and enhancing patient outcomes.

Furthermore, the majority of published research indicate that these pharmacist activities are cost-effective or possess a favorable cost-benefit ratio. This research shows that pharmacists may help save a lot of money on healthcare in many different places. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of information in the literature that delineates the precise facets of pharmacists’ job that are the most efficient and economically viable. Future high-quality economic assessments using rigorous methodology and research designs are necessary to ascertain whether pharmacist services provide substantial therapeutic benefits to patients and provide the most significant cost reductions for healthcare budgets.
