Clinical pharmacist-driven antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) have been successfully implemented. Although relevant guidance and several studies suggest that clinical pharmacists be integrated into the current ASP team model, barriers still exist in Asia, primarily due to lack of dedicated personnel and lack of career advancement. We review the effectiveness and the ideal role of clinical pharmacist among ASPs in Asia. Several studies conducted in Asia have shown the effectiveness of pharmacist-led ASP interventions in hospitals and other healthcare settings. However, opportunities to expand the role of clinical pharmacists in ASPs in Asia exist in the implementation of rapid diagnostic test and drug allergies.
由临床药师主导的抗菌药物管理计划(ASPs)已成功实施。尽管相关指南和多项研究表明应将临床药师纳入当前的ASPs团队模式,但在亚洲仍存在障碍,主要原因是缺乏专业人员以及职业发展受限。我们综述了临床药师在亚洲ASPs中的有效性和理想角色。在亚洲进行的多项研究表明,药师主导的ASPs干预措施在医院和其他医疗环境中具有有效性。然而,在快速诊断检测和药物过敏的实施方面,亚洲仍有机会扩大临床药师在ASPs中的作用。
