What do pharmacists need to know, and what should they be doing in their practice of pharmacy? These questions have not been adequately answered by the profession. In March 1990, the American Pharmaceutical Association House of Delegates votes on the right of pharmacists to exercise judgment in the implementation of standards of practice. Our colleagues in Canada have provided a valuable set of guidelines that are succinct and practical. They are useful as a starting point for anyone who has responsibility for creating position descriptions, writing guidelines for education and training programs, informing third-party reimbursement programs, or establishing regulatory standards. The outline format makes the guidelines easily adaptable, and persons interested are encouraged to use them freely. There will be those who will say that some of the points stated are more applicable for pharmacy technicians, and I would agree. In fact, another use for this document is to consider what parts are appropriate for pharmacy technicians, because more differentiation is needed between the work that pharmacists and technicians do.
药剂师需要知道什么，以及他们在药学实践中应该做什么？该行业尚未充分回答这些问题。1990年3月，美国药学协会代表大会就药剂师在实施执业标准时行使判断力的权利进行了表决。我们在加拿大的同行提供了一套宝贵的指南，这些指南简洁实用。对于任何负责制定职位描述、编写教育和培训计划指南、告知第三方报销计划或制定监管标准的人来说，它们都是有用的起点。大纲格式使指南易于调整，鼓励感兴趣的人自由使用。会有人说其中一些要点更适用于药房技术员，我同意这一点。事实上，这份文件的另一个用途是考虑哪些部分适用于药房技术员，因为药剂师和技术员的工作需要更多区分。
