To identify whether community pharmacies are collecting the minimum patient information mandated by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA'90), and to create an intake form that meets and exceeds these requirements.
Chain, mass merchandiser, supermarket, and wholesale pharmacies located within the state of Florida were eligible for selection. Only 1 pharmacy was selected from each company. The research assistant asked the pharmacy employee to describe all information requested from a patient who is bringing in a prescription for the first time and/ or provide a blank copy of their existing patient intake form. Patient intake information forms were collected between July 2008 and February 2009.
Of the 10 pharmacies included in this study (3 supermarkets, 3 mass merchandisers, 2 wholesale pharmacies, and 2 chain pharmacies), 40% of the studied pharmacies collected information on patient medications. All pharmacies collected at least 6 information requirements. Only 1 pharmacy was compliant with OBRA'90 requirements evaluated.
By obtaining this information providers are in a better position to assist with avoiding medication errors and to help with the medical reconciliation process in health systems.
确定社区药房是否收集了1990年《综合预算协调法案》（OBRA'90）规定的最低患者信息，并创建一份符合并超越这些要求的 intake 表格。
位于佛罗里达州的连锁药房、大型零售商药房、超市药房和批发药房均有资格被选中。每家公司仅选择1家药房。研究助理要求药房员工描述首次带来处方的患者所被要求提供的所有信息，和/或提供其现有的患者 intake 表格的空白副本。在2008年7月至2009年2月期间收集患者 intake 信息表格。
在本研究纳入的10家药房中（3家超市药房、3家大型零售商药房、2家批发药房和2家连锁药房），40% 的被研究药房收集了患者用药信息。所有药房至少收集了6项信息要求。在所评估的药房中，只有1家符合OBRA'90的要求。
通过获取这些信息，医疗服务提供者能够更好地协助避免用药错误，并有助于卫生系统中的医疗协调过程。
