INTRODUCTION:The Intermountain Medical Center (IMED) emergency department (ED) has the highest volume of patients in Utah. With the surge of COVID-19 cases during the early portion of October 2020, there was an expected increase in complex patients. Emergency medicine pharmacist (EMP) services were requested to expand from the 0700 to 2300 staffing model to 24-hour coverage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate interventions completed by overnight EMPs and the associated potential cost avoidance (CA).
