The role of an oncology pharmacist practitioner in an outpatient clinic is described. The clinic provides cancer treatment and follow-up to approximately 60 to 80 patients per day. The hospital pharmacy department, the director of the medical oncology service, and the oncology nurse specialist presented a proposal to the clinic administration for the employment of a full-time pharmacist. Previously, the clinic nursing staff prepared all chemotherapeutic agents. The oncology pharmacist now prepares between 35 to 75 chemotherapy drug doses per day. As a result, nurses are able to devote more time to direct patient care. Through the application of inventory management, clinic drug costs have been reduced. In addition, patients undergoing chemotherapy no longer have to wait for their prescriptions since the oncology pharmacist calls them to the outpatient pharmacy. A valuable service has been introduced tht not only benefits the clinic personnel, but also assures that the patients receive the highest standards of care.
本文描述了肿瘤药剂师在门诊诊所中的角色。该诊所每天为大约60至80名患者提供癌症治疗及后续跟进服务。医院药房、肿瘤内科服务主任以及肿瘤专科护士向诊所管理层提出了聘用一名全职药剂师的提议。此前，诊所护理人员负责配制所有化疗药物。现在，肿瘤药剂师每天配制35至75剂化疗药物。因此，护士能够将更多时间投入到直接的患者护理工作中。通过库存管理的应用，诊所的药品成本得以降低。此外，接受化疗的患者无需再等待处方，因为肿瘤药剂师会将他们叫到门诊药房。一项有价值的服务由此引入，这不仅使诊所工作人员受益，也确保患者能得到最高标准的护理。
