What is the final step in the Pharmacist Queue intervention process?

The final step in the Pharmacist Queue intervention process involves the provider co-signing the modified order. This step is crucial because it signifies that the changes made to the prescription or order by the pharmacist have been reviewed and approved by the prescribing provider. This co-signature not only ensures that the provider agrees with the adjustments made but also maintains a clear line of accountability and communication between the pharmacist and the healthcare provider.

Having the provider’s co-signature is a critical part of the process as it helps to confirm the therapeutic appropriateness of the changes, protects patient safety, and aligns with the regulatory and institutional protocols for medication management. This collaborative action enhances the quality of care provided to the patient and ensures that all parties are in agreement on the treatment plan moving forward.

Other options, while important parts of the overall process, do not conclude the intervention. Verifying tasks completed, re-entering the order, or contacting the patient for follow-up are indeed steps within the workflow but do not represent the finalizing approval that the co-signature provides.
