To assess the level of physician acceptance and perceived usefulness of a pharmacy-prepared, physician-edited pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee newsletter.
Two separate surveys conducted after 7 and 24 months of publication, respectively.
500-bed, university-affiliated, tertiary-care hospital.
The initial survey was mailed to physicians after 7 months of publication and they were requested to rate various aspects of the newsletter, including timeliness of articles, usefulness of articles, quality of writing and design, and overall value of the publication on a scale of 1-4: (1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor). Physicians were also asked to rank different categories of articles (articles on new drugs, drug-class reviews, topical reviews, formulary news, and articles providing P&T committee information) and were encouraged to provide comments. A separate follow-up survey conducted at 24 months asked physicians to indicate whether they (1) regularly received the newsletter, (2) regularly read the newsletter, (3) found the information in the newsletter to be useful, and (4) desired to continue receiving the newsletter.
Initial survey results yielded mean newsletter quality scores ranging from 1.54 to 1.66. Respondents preferred, in descending order, articles on new drugs, drug-class reviews, topical reviews, formulary news, and P&T committee information. The 24-month survey revealed that 96 percent of the physicians regularly receiving and reading the newsletter found the information useful and 97 percent felt that the newsletter should continue to be published. Favorable comments were also received from several prominent physicians.
The results indicate strong physician acceptance of a pharmacy-prepared, physician-edited newsletter and provide information about the types of articles preferred by physicians in a university hospital setting.
评估医生对药房编写、医生编辑的药房与治疗学（P&T）委员会通讯的接受程度和感知有用性。
分别在通讯发布7个月和24个月后进行两项独立调查。
一家拥有500张床位的大学附属医院。
首次调查在通讯发布7个月后邮寄给医生，要求他们对通讯的各个方面进行评分，包括文章的及时性、文章的有用性、写作和设计质量以及出版物的整体价值，评分范围为1至4分（1 = 优秀，2 = 良好，3 = 一般，4 = 差）。医生还被要求对不同类别的文章（关于新药的文章、药物类别综述、专题综述、处方集新闻以及提供P&T委员会信息的文章）进行排序，并鼓励他们发表评论。在24个月时进行的另一项后续调查要求医生表明他们是否（1）定期收到通讯，（2）定期阅读通讯，（3）发现通讯中的信息有用，以及（4）希望继续收到通讯。
首次调查结果显示通讯质量平均得分在1.54至1.66之间。受访者按降序排列，更喜欢关于新药的文章、药物类别综述、专题综述、处方集新闻以及P&T委员会信息。24个月的调查显示，96%定期收到并阅读通讯的医生认为信息有用，97%的医生认为通讯应继续发布。几位知名医生也给出了好评。
结果表明医生对药房编写、医生编辑的通讯接受度很高，并提供了大学医院环境中医生更喜欢的文章类型的信息。
