- Identification by observation of clinical pharmacists' activities in a hospital inpatient setting Peter Stuchbery David CM. Kong Giovanna N. Desantis Sung K. Lo Medicina Workload Hospitals Australia Pharmacists The aim of the study was to quantify clinicalpharmacists workload in Australia. Specificobjectives were to perform a direct observation ofthe pattern of clinical activities in two acute hospitalsand compare that with previously documented selfreportedpatterns. We were also interested inidentifying what records kept by pharmacists wouldcapture all the activities they perform.Methods: An observer recorded the activities ofclinical pharmacists on six separate days in themedical and surgical wards of two Melbournemetropolitan hospitals. We examined resultant datato determine suitable records by which clinicalpharmacists could capture all the activities theyperform. To compare the observed pattern ofclinical activities with those earlier self-reported bypharmacists, we categorised our data using thePharmacy Activity Codes present in the penultimateversion of the ICD-10-AM classification system.Results: The observer recorded the performance of807 workload events, representing 28 separatetypes of activities. When compressed into thePharmacy Activity Codes formerly used in the ICD-10-AM classification system, the pattern of activitiesidentified by direct observation matched that whichhad previously been self-reported by pharmacists.The majority of the activities performed could becaptured by completion of a Pharmaceutical CarePlan and by recording pharmacists interventions toa database. The remaining activities may berecorded for departmental workload purposes in asimple template format.Conclusion: The pattern of clinical pharmacistactivity at the two hospitals was confirmed by directobservation as similar to that previously reported inother Australian hospitals. A Pharmaceutical CarePlan, a database for intervention recording and asimple workload template provide the means torecord all activities that clinical pharmacists perform. 2007 artículo científico 1885-642X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69050102 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050102/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050102/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050102/69050102.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050102/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=690 Pharmacy Practice application/pdf Centro de investigaciones y Publicaciones Farmacéuticas Pharmacy Practice (España) Num.1 Vol.5
