摘要

Objective To evaluate the contribution of the medical admissions pharmacist (MAP) at a London teaching hospital.Method A descriptive study using quantitative methods to compare the activities of former non-designated pharmacists with that of the currently employed MAP in relation to interventions made regarding the drug therapy of patients in one medical admissions ward in a London hospital. The outcome measures were numbers of pharmacist interventions made and their clinical significance. A multi-disciplinary panel assessed clinical significance using an adapted form of a previously validated method.Key findings Overall, significantly more interventions were made per day after appointment of the MAP (P=0.003). In particular, interventions relating to drug administration/route, choice, dose, medication history and need for drug therapy significantly increased. Interventions made by the MAP were found to be of greater clinical significance when compared with those made by the non-designated pharmacists (P= 0.005), In a separate assessment of medication history accuracy, 12% of the patients' regular medicines were unintentionally omitted and 6% of prescriptions unintentionally changed. All unintentional omissions and discrepancies identified resulted in an intervention by the MAP. The majority of these interventions were found to be of moderate clinical significance. Conclusions The MAP made more interventions than the previous non-designated ward pharmacists and, overall, the interventions were of greater clinical significance. The research demonstrates the potential contribution of an MAP on post-admission ward rounds to ensure the safe and appropriate prescribing of medicines on the medical admissions ward. Confirming medication histories was shown to be important in ensuring appropriate prescribing of patients' regular medicines on admission to hospital.
