The role of pharmacists is changing; in many countries, pharmacists have acquired new competencies. A survey conducted in 2013 mapped the clinical pharmacy services in Swiss hospitals by quantifying full-time equivalents (FTE) and depicting clinical pharmacy activities. The aim of this survey was to update these results and analyze the development in Swiss hospitals. An online questionnaire was sent to chief hospital pharmacists (n = 60). The questionnaire was developed based on the previous survey and on a literature search. The survey took place from June to September 2017. In the survey, 44 hospital pharmacies participated (return rate 73%). They counted 265.8 FTE for pharmacists; 31 offered clinical pharmacy services. Hospitals participating in both surveys (n = 32) showed a significant increase in FTE for hospital (+24.5%) and clinical (+62.7%) pharmacists. The number of training positions available for the certificate of proficiency in "clinical pharmacy" has increased by 5.5. Patient-related services are less commonly implemented in comparison to treatment and process-related services. In conclusion, the increase in FTE of clinical pharmacists was more pronounced than of hospital pharmacists in general. For further development and broader implementation of clinical pharmacy services, however, hospital pharmacies should increase the number of training positions and should direct more activities towards patient-related services.
药剂师的角色正在发生变化；在许多国家，药剂师已获得新的能力。2013年进行的一项调查通过量化全职等效人员（FTE）并描述临床药学活动，对瑞士医院的临床药学服务进行了映射。本次调查的目的是更新这些结果并分析瑞士医院的发展情况。向医院首席药剂师（n = 60）发送了一份在线问卷。该问卷是基于之前的调查和文献检索而制定的。调查于2017年6月至9月进行。在调查中，有44家医院药房参与（回复率73%）。他们统计药剂师的全职等效人员为265.8；31家提供临床药学服务。参与两次调查的医院（n = 32）显示，医院药剂师（+24.5%）和临床药剂师（+62.7%）的全职等效人员显著增加。“临床药学”熟练证书的培训岗位数量增加了5.5个。与治疗和流程相关服务相比，患者相关服务的实施较少。总之，临床药剂师全职等效人员的增加比一般医院药剂师更为明显。然而，为了临床药学服务的进一步发展和更广泛实施，医院药房应增加培训岗位数量，并应将更多活动导向患者相关服务。
