Not bedside reading exactly, but these are the ones I keep citing at journal club or defending at 2am to a tired resident. Mix of foundational stuff and a couple newer ones that actually changed how I check an order. Ranked by how often I still think about them, not by impact factor, which is a made up number anyway.

Pharmacy papers worth rereading — 4 items
Name	Topic	Year	Journal	My take
1To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System	Medical error epidemiology	1999	Institute of Medicine	The report that started the whole patient safety industry. Still gets misquoted constantly.
2Bates et al., Incidence of Adverse Drug Events and Potential Adverse Drug Events	Adverse drug events	1995	JAMA	Old, but the methodology still holds up. Most ADE studies since are footnotes to this one.
3Leape et al., Systems Analysis of Adverse Drug Events	Systems errors in drug ordering	1995	JAMA	Companion piece to the Bates paper. Together they basically built the case for clinical pharmacists on rounds.
4Koppel et al., Role of Computerized Physician Order Entry Systems in Facilitating Medication Errors	CPOE and new error types	2005	JAMA	The paper everyone cites when the new order entry system does something baffling. Vindicating, in a grim way.
