To evaluate the potential cost avoidance of student interventions documented by fourth-year (P4) student pharmacists during advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) in outpatient and inpatient settings.
The school-wide Web-based intervention database was retrospectively analyzed to review characteristics of interventions documented during the 2011-2012 APPE cycle. Potential cost avoidance for interventions was derived from a comprehensive literature review and adjusted to 2011 dollars based on the consumer price index for medical care.
Eighty-seven students (71% of the graduating class) documented 5,775 interventions over 36 weeks, with an estimated potential total cost avoidance of $908,800. The intervention categories associated with the greatest cost avoidance were prevention of adverse drug events, provider education, and patient education.
Fourth-year student pharmacists and their preceptors had a positive impact, contributing to potential cost avoidance in both the inpatient and outpatient pharmacy settings.
评估第四年（P4）实习药剂师在门诊和住院环境中的高级实践经验（APPE）中记录的学生干预措施的潜在成本避免。
回顾性分析全校范围的基于 Web 的干预数据库，以审查 2011-2012 年 APPE 周期中记录的干预措施的特征。干预措施的潜在成本避免来自全面的文献综述，并根据医疗保健消费者价格指数调整为 2011 年的美元。
87 名学生（毕业班级的 71%）在 36 周内记录了 5775 次干预措施，估计潜在总成本避免了 908800 美元。与最大成本避免相关的干预类别是预防药物不良事件、提供者教育和患者教育。
第四年实习药剂师及其导师产生了积极的影响，为住院和门诊药房环境中的潜在成本避免做出了贡献。
