In long-term care settings, pharmacy consultations are common because these patients often have multiple chronic conditions that require ongoing medication management. Pharmacists play a crucial role in monitoring the patient's medication regimen, assessing the effectiveness of the drugs, and checking for potential drug interactions. On the other hand, in acute care settings, such as hospitals, the focus is more on immediate care and treatment of a severe injury or episode of illness, an urgent medical condition, or during recovery from surgery. While medications are certainly used in acute care settings, the need for a formal pharmacy consultation is less common.
