To assess the feasibility of a medication sampling program involving community pharmacists.
A community pharmacy dispensed samples after receiving a voucher given to patients by prescribers. Surveys explored prescribers' and patients' views about sampling and patients' experiences with the program.
Half of prescribers reported providing samples, yet 15 patients redeemed 18 vouchers over 1 year. Patients expressed favourable views towards sampling and pharmacist involvement, despite more than half (n = 8/15, 53%) feeling that visiting the pharmacy was less convenient.
A voucher-based medication sampling program based in a community pharmacy is a model integrating pharmacist care.
评估一项涉及社区药剂师的药物样品发放计划的可行性。
社区药房在收到开处方者给患者的代金券后发放样品。调查探讨了开处方者和患者对样品发放的看法以及患者参与该计划的体验。
一半的开处方者报告提供了样品，但在1年时间里有15名患者兑换了18张代金券。患者对样品发放和药剂师的参与表示赞许，尽管超过一半（n = 8/15，53%）的患者觉得去药房不太方便。
基于社区药房的代金券式药物样品发放计划是一种整合药剂师护理的模式。
