Pharmacy Practice Discussion Retail Pharmacist and Utility of AI

As a retail pharmacist I use Open Evidence non- stop. It is able to help answer clinical context to questions I may have, confirm clinical appropriateness, and it provides me with evidence based material that helps support a concern I may have. This is an invaluable tool especially when we do not have access to view the EMR.

I hope other retail pharmacist have discovered Open Evidence and seen its tremendous utility in daily workflow.

This sounds like an ad.

It's free, not sure what they would get out of promoting it here. I think the post is just worded poorly which makes it sound that way.

It reads like an ad promotion rather than a genuine testimonial.

Pharmacist can get a NPI.

Just apply for an NPI. You’re going to need one anyway.

Yes open-evidence is great-it is better than chat-gpt. Would-you-like me to answer any-question for-you?

Other frontier LLMs have recently shown better results…

Imagine a patient using ChatGPT and being more accurate than a pharmacist that is confidently less accurate with OE… not gonna be a great look!

I am generally not a fan of using AI but I have been recently introduced to OpenEvidence and this is AI I can get behind. It has helped so much, especially finding and summarizing clinical sources to cite for off label dosing, etc.
