This study explores pharmacists' perceptions of AI's role in enhancing educational and professional practices, particularly focusing on the generation of educational content and analytical tasks. <b>Objectives:</b> The primary objective was to assess pharmacists' concerns and perceived benefits regarding the use of AI in pharmacy education, examining variations across different age groups and years of practice. <b>Methods:</b> A cross-sectional survey was completed by 446 pharmacists who actively precept pharmacy residents and students. Respondents practiced across 35 states with over half (53.4%) being in Ohio. The survey included items on concerns about AI's quality and accuracy, human interaction, plagiarism, and its potential benefits in data analysis and research literature summarization. Responses were analyzed to identify trends across demographic categories, including age and years in practice. <b>Results:</b> Of the respondents, 67.9% expressed concerns about the quality and accuracy of AI-generated content, while 50.9% were concerned about plagiarism. Younger pharmacists (73.8% of those aged 20-29) showed heightened concern about accuracy compared to older groups (56.8% of those aged 60+). In contrast, 57.8% of respondents recognized AI's potential benefits for data analysis, with experienced pharmacists (>20 years in practice) being more likely to see these advantages (62.2%). <b>Conclusion:</b> The findings indicate a need for targeted educational strategies to address AI literacy and ethical use in pharmacy education. Integrating AI tools that support educational objectives while addressing these concerns could enhance the efficacy and acceptance of AI in pharmacy practice. Further research should explore the development of training programs that align with the evolving expectations and technological competencies of different pharmacist demographics.</p>","PeriodicalId":13002,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Pharmacy","volume":" ","pages":"00185787241293389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11559884/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142619155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This evolution has included the refinement of blood glucose targets, matching glycemic management to premorbid status, and investigations into the impact of glycemic variability and relative hypoglycemia on ICU outcomes. The interplay between these phenomena and absolute hypoglycemia has yet to be investigated in hyperglycemic emergencies. <b>Objectives:</b> To examine the incidence of and risk factors for relative hypoglycemia and absolute hypoglycemia in patients admitted to an intensive care unit for the management of hyperglycemic emergencies. <b>Methods:</b> This was a retrospective, single-center, exploratory analysis of adults admitted to the medical intensive care unit for diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome. The primary outcome was the incidence of relative hypoglycemia, defined as a blood glucose level 30% lower than baseline. The baseline was determined by the estimated average blood glucose calculated from hemoglobin A1c within 3 months of index admission. Secondary outcomes were ICU length of stay, glycemic variability, and incidence of absolute hypoglycemia.<b>Results:</b> Relative hypoglycemia was observed in 60% of patients in the cohort. Longer insulin infusion duration and higher hemoglobin A1c levels were found to statistically increase the risk of developing relative hypoglycemia. Higher glycemic variability and longer ICU length of stay were associated with the risk of developing absolute hypoglycemia. <b>Conclusions:</b> Relative hypoglycemia is a frequent occurrence in this patient population. Hemoglobin A1c and duration of the insulin infusion statistically influenced the risk of developing relative hypoglycemia. Higher glycemic variability and longer ICU stay were significantly associated with developing absolute hypoglycemia.
