Abstract: Anemia is a prevalent condition among hospitalized patients, negatively impacting recovery time and quality of life. This study aimed to assess the impact of multidisciplinary collaboration involving pharmacists, laboratory specialists, and nurses on anemia management. A mixed-methods approach was used, including quantitative analysis of patient outcomes and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals. The results demonstrated significant improvements in hemoglobin levels, reduced hospital stay length, and lower readmission rates, indicating the effectiveness of multidisciplinary teamwork. Qualitative findings highlighted the benefits of improved communication and patient-centered care, while also identifying challenges such as time constraints and differing departmental priorities. The study underscores the importance of collaborative care in improving anemia management outcomes.
