Pharmacists' role in opioid safety: a focus group investigation.
This qualitative study explores the pharmacist's role in promoting opioid safety from the perspective of pharmacists and patients. Using focus groups, results showed that pharmacists expressed discomfort filling potentially high-risk opioid prescriptions and noted barriers such as lack of clinical information and discomfort policing high-risk prescribing; and that patients were concerned about pharmacists potentially overstepping their professional responsibilities by interfering with prescribers' clinical decisions.
