Abstract: This study evaluates the impact of multidisciplinary collaboration among pharmacists, nurses, and CT technologists on medication safety during diagnostic imaging procedures. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach at a tertiary hospital, the study involved 150 patients, with quantitative data showing a significant reduction in adverse reactions to contrast media and a decrease in hospital stay duration. Qualitative findings highlighted improved communication, enhanced workflow, and increased patient satisfaction, though challenges such as time constraints and the need for additional training were noted. The results indicate that effective multidisciplinary collaboration can enhance patient outcomes, improve safety, and reduce complications in diagnostic imaging.

Keywords: multidisciplinary collaboration, medication safety, diagnostic imaging, pharmacists, nurses, CT technologists, contrast media, patient outcomes
