Overview
Hospital pharmacy is the branch of pharmacy practice concerned with the management, preparation, and dispensing of medicines within hospitals and other inpatient healthcare settings. Hospital pharmacists oversee the procurement, storage, and distribution of medications, prepare specialized formulations such as sterile and intravenous products, advise clinical teams on appropriate and safe drug use, and monitor therapy to prevent errors and adverse effects. The role supports the wider healthcare system by ensuring that medicines are available, of appropriate quality, and used effectively, and it increasingly involves clinical responsibilities at the patient's bedside as well as logistical and quality-control functions. Within the journal's coverage of Advanced Pharmaceutical Science And Technology, related research has examined auditable pharmaceutical transaction services in hospital settings, prescribing and dispensing practices in hospital and community pharmacies, and the operation of hospital-based immunization clinics, reflecting interest in how hospital pharmacy services are organized and improved. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to hospital pharmacy, supporting readers interested in medication management, dispensing and quality systems, and the role of pharmacists in delivering safe and effective medicines within hospital care.
