They are widespread in healthcare systems and are linked to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Several strategies have been studied to reduce their occurrence including different types of pharmacy-based interventions. One of the main pharmacist-led interventions is educational programs, which seem to have promising benefits.  \nObjective  \nTo describe and compare various pharmacist-led educational interventions delivered to healthcare providers and to evaluate their impact qualitatively and quantitatively on medication error rates.  \nMethods  \nA systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted through searching Cochrane Library, EBSCO, EMBASE, Medline and Google Scholar from inception to June 2020. Only interventional studies that reported medication error rate change after the intervention were included. Two independent authors worked through the data extraction and quality assessment using Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT) . Summary odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model for rates of medication errors. Research protocol is available in The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number CRD42019116465.  \nFunding: The author(s) received no specific funding for this work.  \nCompeting interests: No authors have competing interests.  \nResults  \nTwelve studies involving 115058 participants were included. The two main recipients of the educational interventions were nurses and resident physicians. Educational programs involved lectures, posters, practical teaching sessions, audit and feedback method and flash cards of high-risk abbreviations. All studies included educational sessions as part of their program, either alone or in combination with other appro","cbCaibP1PEjKWpGr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibP1PEjKWpGr","pdf",1007689,18,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Objective\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What medication issue does the review focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The review focuses on medication errors and their preventability across the medication-use process, highlighting links to patient harm and increased healthcare burdens.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of pharmacist-led educational interventions were evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"The review evaluates educational programs delivered to healthcare providers, including lectures, posters, practical teaching sessions, audit and feedback, and flash cards targeting high-risk abbreviations.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the overall impact of pharmacist-led education on medication error rates?\",\"answer\":\"Pharmacist-led educational interventions were associated with significant reductions in the overall rate of medication errors occurrence, supporting implementation aimed at reducing medication errors.\"}]","Pharmacist-led educational interventions provided to healthcare providers to reduce medication errors - A systematic review and meta-analysis | PDF",1791024549,45]
