A MEDLINE search (1950-June 2008) of the English literature was performed using the search terms beta-lactam, penicillin, monobactam, carbapenem, allergy, and cross-reactivity. References of review articles were also screened for inclusion. All articles in English from the data source were identified. Studies whose primary goal was to evaluate drug hypersensitivity and the potential for cross-reactivity were evaluated. Many patients have reported penicillin allergies that have not been verified by skin testing; many healthcare providers avoid the use of other beta-lactam antibiotics, namely carbapenems, in these patients due to fear of the potential for immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic cross-reactivity. A wide range of cross-reactivity between penicillins and carbapenems has been reported in various studies; however, more recent prospective studies have shown the...

TOC literature and resources were obtained through searching PubMed, Ovid, and GoogleScholar. The pharmacist clinicians, who are the authors in this manuscript are reporting their experiences in the development, implementation of, and practice within the TOC models. Pharmacists are an essential part of the multidisciplinary team and play a key role in providing care to patients as they move between health care settings or from a health care setting to home. Pharmacists can participate in many aspects of the inpatient, ambulatory care, and community pharmacy practice settings to implement and ensure optimal TOC processes. This article describes establishing the pharmacist's TOC role and practicing within multiple health care settings. In these models, pharmacists focus on medication reconciliation, disch...

To identify the temporal effect and factors associated with student pharmacist self-initiation of interventions during acute patient care advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE). Methods. During the APPE, student pharmacists at an academic medical center recorded their therapeutic interventions and who initiated the intervention throughout clinical rotations. At the end of the APPE student pharmacists completed a demographic survey. Results. Sixty-two student pharmacists were included. Factors associated with lower rates of self-initiated interventions were infectious diseases and pediatrics APPEs and an intention to pursue a postgraduate residency. Timing of the APPE, previous specialty elective course completion, and previous hospital experience did not result in any significant difference in self-initiated recommendations. Conclusion. Preceptors should not base practice experience expectations for self-initiated interventions on previous student experience or fut...
