To describe the use of capacity ratios following the assignment of introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs) to a rising third-year pharmacy (P3) class.
Practice experience availability for IPPEs was collected by means of preceptor response to requests. Following assignment of IPPEs to the rising P3 class, capacity ratios from the IPPEs available across the entire state and within each of 4 geographic zones were calculated. Capacity ratios for both community pharmacy and institutional pharmacy also were calculated.
The capacity ratio for IPPEs across the entire state was 2.11, which documents solvency. When the capacity ratios were calculated individually for community pharmacy and institutional pharmacy, solvency was also achieved. Likewise, IPPE capacity ratios were solvent in all 4 geographic zones.
Capacity ratios are helpful in evaluating IPPE availability as they can be used to determine practice experience need in either type of practice experience or geographic zone.
描述在将入门级药学实践经验 (IPPE) 分配给上升的三年级药学 (P3) 班级后，如何使用产能比。
通过向导师发送请求来收集 IPPE 的实践经验可用性。在将 IPPE 分配给上升的 P3 班级后，计算了全州范围内以及 4 个地理区域内每个区域的 IPPE 可用的产能比。还计算了社区药房和机构药房的产能比。
全州范围内的 IPPE 产能比为 2.11，证明了其偿付能力。当分别为社区药房和机构药房计算产能比时，也实现了偿付能力。同样，在所有 4 个地理区域内，IPPE 产能比均具有偿付能力。
产能比有助于评估 IPPE 的可用性，因为它们可用于确定任一类实践经验或地理区域的实践经验需求。
