The clinical role of pharmacists in a correctional facility has not been fully described. We report the proportion of patients assessed by a pharmacist within 48 hours of admission to a large correctional facility. Of those assessed, the frequency and type of pharmacist interventions were described. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients admitted to the Edmonton Remand Center (ERC) from September to November 2017. From 1,500 patients, 518 (34.5%) were assessed by a pharmacist, and 511 (98.6%) of those received one or more pharmacist interventions. Interventions were most commonly health care provider interactions (89.0%) and drug therapy interventions (76.1%). ERC pharmacists assessed a sizable proportion of admitted patients, with most receiving at least one pharmacist intervention.
药剂师在惩教设施中的临床作用尚未得到充分描述。我们报告了在大型惩教设施中，药剂师在入院后 48 小时内评估的患者比例。对于接受评估的患者，描述了药剂师干预的频率和类型。对 2017 年 9 月至 11 月入住埃德蒙顿还押中心（ERC）的患者进行了回顾性图表审查。在 1500 名患者中，有 518 名（34.5%）接受了药剂师的评估，其中 511 名（98.6%）接受了一项或多项药剂师干预。干预措施最常见的是医疗保健提供者之间的互动（89.0%）和药物治疗干预（76.1%）。ERC 药剂师评估了相当一部分入院患者，其中大多数患者至少接受了一次药剂师干预。
