Increasing pharmacist workload was associated with increased ICU length of stay, reduced quantity of interventions, and reduced intensity of interventions.

Increasing MRC-ICU score was associated with 1. Higher mortality 2. Longer LOS 3. More medication interventions 4. Increased intensity of medication interventions
^A compelling argument for DEDICATED pharmacotherapeutic expertise on the multiprofessional rounding team.

My favorite pharmacist job description:
(1/4) I walk into the work room to ask my favorite resident about the meropenem order he put in.
He slams his fist against the table: "How do you always know?!" He shouts.
Everyone in the room jumps. Usually, he is so easygoing.
(2/4) "Know what?"
"How do you ALWAYS know?" He repeats. "Like the second I put an order in, you ask me about. It's like immediate!"
The fellow laughs, "Man- don't you realize that's the pharmacist's job? They look at all our orders to make sure we didn't jack anything up."
