Objective of this survey--possibilities of implementation of pharmaceutical care elements in daily work of Lithuanian community pharmacies. All pharmacists have to ensure the best quality of pharmaceutical services which they render to their patients. Pharmacists also must improve the quality of pharmaceutical services, according to recommendations of pharmaceutical care. For a start they should implement at least separate elements of pharmaceutical care if they are going to provide pharmaceutical care services in their community pharmacies in the future. That's why this survey was designed to clarify the possibilities of implementation of separate pharmaceutical care elements in to daily work of community pharmacies.
Material of this survey--pharmaceutical services rendered in Lithuanian community pharmacies. This survey has an analytical character and was accomplished with questionnaire. Chiefs of community pharmacies were asked to complete of questionnaire. We gave 150 questionnaires and received answers from 128 pharmacists.
After gathered data analysis we found out that only 2% of pharmacies are almost prepared and well equipped for provision of pharmaceutical care services; however, they still have to rearrange their facilities.
Lithuanian community pharmacies are not ready to work according to recommendations of pharmaceutical care today. Some elements of pharmaceutical care (such as blood pressure measurement, provision of written information for patient, etc.) are already implemented by almost all Lithuanian community pharmacies. If pharmacists want to provide pharmaceutical care services they should create a database of patient medication records in pharmacy. Unfortunately Lithuanian pharmacists do not have such databases today. Only with such databases there is a possibility to render pharmaceutical services of the best quality.
本调查的目的——在立陶宛社区药房的日常工作中实施药学服务要素的可能性。所有药剂师都必须确保向患者提供的药学服务具有最佳质量。药剂师还必须根据药学服务的建议提高药学服务质量。首先，如果他们未来要在社区药房提供药学服务，他们应该至少实施药学服务的单独要素。这就是为什么设计这项调查以阐明在社区药房日常工作中实施单独药学服务要素的可能性。
本调查的材料——立陶宛社区药房提供的药学服务。这项调查具有分析性质，通过问卷调查完成。社区药房的负责人被要求填写问卷。我们发放了150份问卷，收到了128名药剂师的回复。
在对收集到的数据进行分析后，我们发现只有2%的药房几乎做好了准备且设备齐全以提供药学服务；然而，它们仍需重新安排设施。
立陶宛社区药房目前还未准备好按照药学服务的建议开展工作。几乎所有立陶宛社区药房都已经实施了一些药学服务要素（如血压测量、为患者提供书面信息等）。如果药剂师想要提供药学服务，他们应该在药房创建患者用药记录数据库。不幸的是，立陶宛药剂师目前没有这样的数据库。只有有了这样的数据库，才有可能提供高质量的药学服务。
