To investigate users' initial perceptions of and potential applications for the Educating Pharmacy Students and Pharmacists to Improve Quality (EPIQ) program, a 5-module education program designed to educate pharmacists and pharmacy students about quality improvement in pharmacy practice.
The 5-module EPIQ program was distributed to pharmacy faculty members, pharmacy practitioners, and other health professionals across the country upon request. A 6-item survey instrument was sent to the first 97 people who requested the program.
Twenty-seven (56%) of the 55 respondents had reviewed the EPIQ program and 22 (82%) intended to use some or all of the content to teach about quality improvement or patient safety primarily in pharmacy management and medication safety courses.
Initial perceptions of the EPIQ program were positive; however, further evaluation is needed after more extensive implementation of the program in pharmacy colleges and schools and other settings.
调查用户对“教育药剂师和药剂学生提高质量（EPIQ）计划”的初步看法和潜在应用，该计划是一个 5 个模块的教育计划，旨在教育药剂师和药剂学生关于药学实践中的质量改进。
EPIQ 计划的 5 个模块根据要求分发给全国的药学教师、药剂师和其他卫生专业人员。一项 6 项的调查工具被发送给了前 97 位要求该计划的人。
在 55 位回复者中，有 27 位（56%）已经审查了 EPIQ 计划，22 位（82%）计划将使用部分或全部内容来教授质量改进或患者安全，主要是在药学管理和药物安全课程中。
对 EPIQ 计划的初步看法是积极的；然而，在药学学院和学校以及其他环境中更广泛地实施该计划后，还需要进一步评估。
