Departmental efficiency is a priority issue for hospital administration as third party payers maintain or reduce the level of reimbursement. This study validates the PHASU (PHArmacy Service Unit) model, which predicts the workload and productivity of a unit dose pharmacy. A PHASU equivalency system enabled the authors to develop a comparative standard for all pharmacy procedures. The procedure most reflective of workload is unit dose orders. Predicted productivity and staff requirements compare favorably to management engineering determinations. The PHASU model represents a reliable workload forecasting instrument that pharmacy managers can prospectively incorporate in the support of current and future pharmacy services.
随着第三方支付方维持或降低报销水平,部门效率成为医院管理的一个优先问题。本研究验证了PHASU(药房服务单元)模型,该模型可预测单剂量药房的工作量和生产率。一个PHASU等效系统使作者能够为所有药房程序制定一个比较标准。最能反映工作量的程序是单剂量医嘱。预测的生产率和人员需求与管理工程测定结果相比具有优势。PHASU模型是一种可靠的工作量预测工具,药房经理可以前瞻性地将其纳入对当前和未来药房服务的支持中。
