Pharmacists in charge of community and institutional pharmacies in Tennessee were surveyed to identify which activities they currently delegate to technicians and which activities they might consider delegating in the future. Survey questionnaires were mailed to all pharmacists-in-charge registered with the board of pharmacy. Respondents were asked to indicate which of 38 listed pharmacy activities were currently delegated to technicians and which currently undelegated activities would be delegated in the future if legal and policy barriers were removed and if technician training programs were available. Respondents also ranked six types of technician training programs in order of preference and were asked whether they thought technicians should receive official recognition through certification or licensure. A total of 947 questionnaires were returned, for a response rate of 62%. Of the 24 activities that were delegated by significantly different numbers of pharmacists in community and institutional settings, 23 were delegated more frequently by institutional pharmacists. Activities related to drug therapy were delegated least frequently by either group, although community pharmacists delegated the task of recommending nonprescription drugs more often than did institutional pharmacists. If barriers were removed and training programs were available, more pharmacists would delegate activities to technicians than currently do. Most respondents preferred a formal, in-house training program for technicians; more than 65% of pharmacists favored certification of technicians. Pharmacists in Tennessee currently delegate a number of activities to technicians, and more pharmacists would do so if barriers toward technician use were removed and if more trained technicians were available.
对田纳西州社区药房和机构药房的主管药剂师进行了调查，以确定他们目前委托给技术人员的工作活动，以及他们未来可能考虑委托的工作活动。调查问卷被邮寄给所有在药房委员会注册的主管药剂师。受访者被要求指出38项列出的药房活动中，哪些目前已委托给技术人员，以及如果法律和政策障碍被消除且有技术人员培训项目，哪些目前未委托的活动未来会被委托。受访者还对六种类型的技术人员培训项目按偏好程度进行了排序，并被问及他们是否认为技术人员应通过认证或执照获得官方认可。共收回947份问卷，回复率为62%。在社区和机构环境中，由数量显著不同的药剂师委托的24项活动中，有23项机构药剂师委托得更频繁。两组委托与药物治疗相关的活动都最少，不过社区药剂师推荐非处方药的任务委托得比机构药剂师更频繁。如果障碍被消除且有培训项目，会有更多药剂师将活动委托给技术人员，比目前的情况更多。大多数受访者倾向于为技术人员提供正式的内部培训项目；超过65%的药剂师赞成对技术人员进行认证。田纳西州的药剂师目前将一些活动委托给技术人员，如果消除对技术人员使用的障碍且有更多训练有素的技术人员，会有更多药剂师这样做。
