Analyze quality improvement (QI) education across US pharmacy programs. This was a two stage cross-sectional study that inspected each accredited school website for published QI curriculum or related content, and e-mailed a questionnaire to each school asking about QI curriculum or content. -test and chi square were used for analysis with an alpha a priori set at .05. Sixty responses (47% response rate) revealed the least-covered QI topics: quality dashboards /sentinel systems (30%); six-sigma or other QI methodologies (45%); safety and quality measures (57%); Medicare Star measures and payment incentives (58%); and how to implement changes to improve quality (60%). More private institutions covered Adverse Drug Events than public institutions and required a dedicated QI class; however, required QI projects were more often reported by public institutions. Despite the need for pharmacists to understand QI, it is not covered well in school curricula.
分析美国药学项目中的质量改进（QI）教育情况。这是一项两阶段的横断面研究，研究人员检查了每所获得认证学校的网站，查看是否有已发布的QI课程或相关内容，并向每所学校发送电子邮件问卷，询问有关QI课程或内容的情况。使用t检验和卡方检验进行分析，预先设定的α值为0.05。60份回复（回复率为47%）揭示了覆盖最少的QI主题：质量仪表盘/哨点系统（30%）；六西格玛或其他QI方法（45%）；安全和质量措施（57%）；医疗保险星级评定措施和支付激励（58%）；以及如何实施改进质量的变革（60%）。与公立机构相比，更多私立机构涵盖了药物不良事件，并且要求开设专门的QI课程；然而，公立机构更常报告要求开展QI项目。尽管药剂师需要了解QI，但学校课程对此的涵盖并不充分。
