Pharmacist-operated drug information centers (DICs) were surveyed early in 1986 to obtain current information concerning the status, availability, and scope of their services. Questionnaires were sent to 191 institutions believed to be active in disseminating drug information; 127 responses were usable. Descriptive information on the respondents is tabulated, and a comprehensive directory of pharmacist-operated DICs is provided. Significant changes have occurred in the affiliations of DICs since previous surveys, and sources of DIC funding seem to be related to these affiliations. Many DICs appear to have the potential to answer more questions than they actually answer. Since few of them are self-sustaining, DICs should attempt to document how their activities affect prescribing practices and, hence, overall hospital finances.
1986年初，对药剂师运营的药物信息中心（DIC）进行了调查，以获取有关其服务的现状、可及性和范围的最新信息。问卷被发送至191家据信积极传播药物信息的机构；127份回复可用。对受访者的描述性信息进行了列表整理，并提供了一份药剂师运营的DIC综合名录。自上次调查以来，DIC的附属关系发生了重大变化，DIC的资金来源似乎与这些附属关系有关。许多DIC似乎有潜力回答比实际回答更多的问题。由于它们中很少有能够自我维持的，DIC应尝试记录其活动如何影响处方行为，进而影响医院的整体财务状况。
