| Abstrakt: | We analysed data from the electronic medication chart at tertiary healthcare facilities during Nov 2020-Nov 2023 following a reconfiguration of prescribing permissions allowing medical student inpatient prescribing. A total of 262 students prescribed for 2205 patients. The 17,769 prescriptions were spread throughout the 7-day week and were mainly created in the evening (1600-2100) and within 4 hours of patient entry into hospital. The supervising doctors approved 11,434 (64%) prescriptions, which are inferred to have saved 203 hours of doctor time. Allowing medical students to prescribe facilitates clinical workflow. The impact on student education and prescribing errors requires further work. |
