The Critical Care PRN optimizes drug therapy outcomes by promoting excellence and innovation in clinical pharmacy practice, research, and education. The main objectives of the PRN are to: provide timely educational updates to members and other pharmacists; participate in multicenter research in partnership with critical care pharmacists who are members of other organizations; use the Internet to facilitate information exchange among critical care pharmacists, for example to develop a database of critical care practice guidelines; and to provide a means for informal networking among critical care pharmacists.
