Abstract

This article critically evaluates medication-specific resource materials' efficacy, practicality, and convenience in the pharmacist's practice. Employing a Multimethod approach that includes in-depth interviews, a mixed-mode survey, and usability assessment, the study evaluates platforms such as databases, textbooks, e-learning, and mobile applications. Research shows that the execution of the mission sees significant disparities in the degree of efficiency, which reveals particularly strong and weak points about accuracy, availability of resources, and usability. The differing approaches of other platforms likely accompany the plurality of platforms. While some platforms will stand out with fresh content and engaging interfaces, others will be undermined for persisting with outdated information and inadequate functionality. The study also demonstrated that the need for considering different factors when picking and utilizing drug resources is stressed, which suggests that there is a consistent update, quality assurance mechanisms, and user-centered design principles used when choosing and displaying the content. They can do this by being judicious and based on the facts. Consequently, this will allow pharmacists to make correct decisions, which will positively impact the outcomes of medications and patient safety. Research should always be conducted and worked on in tandem to provide a platform for innovation and the improvement of drug information resource sites in pharmacy practice
