This article describes a qualitative research study using focus groups to explore the views and experiences of a medicines management team (MMT) on the service they deliver within a 'Virtual Ward' (VW); and those of the wider multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals on the service provided by the MMT. Several themes emerged from the focus groups, including impact on patients and carers, team working and issues and challenges. A dedicated MMT was seen as a positive contribution to the VW, which potentially increased the quality of patient care, and appeared to be a positive experience for both the MM and wider multidisciplinary team.
本文描述了一项使用焦点小组的定性研究，以探讨药品管理团队（MMT）对其在“虚拟病房”（VW）中提供的服务的看法和经验；以及更广泛的医疗保健专业人员多学科团队对 MMT 提供的服务的看法。焦点小组中出现了几个主题，包括对患者和护理人员的影响、团队合作以及问题和挑战。专门的 MMT 被视为 VW 的积极贡献，这可能提高了患者护理的质量，并且似乎对 MM 和更广泛的多学科团队都是一次积极的体验。
