This article identifies, prioritizes, and summarizes published literature on the medication-use process (MUP) from calendar year 2024 that can impact health-system pharmacy daily practice. The MUP is the foundational system that provides the framework for safe medication utilization within the healthcare environment. The MUP is defined in this article as having the following components: prescribing/transcribing, dispensing, administration, and monitoring. Articles evaluating at least one step of the MUP were assessed for their usefulness toward practice improvement.
A PubMed search was conducted in January 2025 for articles published in calendar year 2024 using targeted Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) keywords, and table of contents searches of selected pharmacy journals were performed, providing a total of 5,893 articles. A thorough review identified 45 potentially practice-enhancing articles: 10 for prescribing/transcribing, 15 for dispensing, 8 for administration, and 12 for monitoring. The trends from the articles are briefly summarized, with a mention of the importance within health system pharmacy. The articles are listed and summarized in tables for further review and evaluation.
It is important to routinely review the published literature and to incorporate significant findings into daily practice. This article assists in identifying and summarizing those most impactful. Health-system pharmacists have an active role in improving the MUP in their institution, and awareness of the most significant published studies can assist in changing practice at the institutional level.
本文识别、确定优先顺序并总结了2024日历年发表的关于用药过程（MUP）的文献，这些文献可能会影响卫生系统药房的日常实践。用药过程是在医疗环境中为安全用药提供框架的基础系统。本文将用药过程定义为具有以下组成部分：开处方/转录、调配、给药和监测。评估用药过程至少一个步骤的文章被评估其对实践改进的有用性。
2025年1月在PubMed上使用目标医学主题词（MeSH）关键词搜索了2024日历年发表的文章，并对选定的药学杂志进行了目录搜索，共检索到5893篇文章。经过全面审查，确定了45篇可能有助于实践改进的文章：10篇关于开处方/转录，15篇关于调配，8篇关于给药，12篇关于监测。文章中的趋势进行了简要总结，并提及了在卫生系统药房中的重要性。文章列于表格中并进行总结，以供进一步审查和评估。
定期回顾已发表的文献并将重要发现纳入日常实践很重要。本文有助于识别和总结那些最具影响力的文献。卫生系统药师在改善其所在机构的用药过程中发挥着积极作用，了解最重要的已发表研究有助于在机构层面改变实践。
