Role clarity of emergency department doctors and pharmacists is essential to provide collaborative care. Evidence is available that interprofessional care of doctor-pharmacist collaboration improves patient care in emergency settings. Pharmacists need to improve their knowledge and skill in emergency practice to be more productive and sought after. Team dynamics, training, and administrative support are critical. Interprofessional collaboration should not be programmed to fail for the short-term convenience of any profession. With more considerable effort from different stakeholders, once a collaborative system is established that will sustain improved patient care and the public trust of healthcare. Crossing a collaboration chasm takes time and effort. Interprofessional education should be built-in essential competencies to be collaborative with role clarity, teamwork, better communication, and ultimately patient-centeredness.
急诊科医生和药剂师的角色明确对于提供协作护理至关重要。有证据表明，医生与药剂师协作的跨专业护理可改善急诊环境中的患者护理。药剂师需要提高其在急诊实践中的知识和技能，以提高工作效率并更受青睐。团队动态、培训和行政支持至关重要。跨专业协作不应因任何专业的短期便利而注定失败。在不同利益相关者付出更多努力的情况下，一旦建立起一个协作系统，将持续改善患者护理并提升公众对医疗保健的信任。跨越协作鸿沟需要时间和努力。跨专业教育应融入基本能力，以实现角色明确、团队合作、更好的沟通，并最终以患者为中心进行协作。
