An index system was developed that provides participating hospitals with an up-to-date list of regionally available written materials used in hospital pharmacy practice. Eight acute-care hospitals agreed to participate in developing the index to avoid duplication of effort in producing original materials. A regional drug information center agreed to maintain the index and serve as the central repository for the materials. Newsletters and bulletins were given high priority for coverage by the system, followed by drug monographs and directed studies and residency projects. A three-year back-index period was set for most categories to ensure that the index was current. Only active entries were listed for investigational drug lists, i.v. drug administration monographs, and extemporaneously compounded drug products. Other categories were drug administration policies, unusual drug information requests, and patient-oriented drug information. The representatives provided the relevant materials from their institutions, and it was categorized and indexed. The index was entered on a word processor, which permits efficient updating. The index has been useful to the participating hospital pharmacy departments. As the system is tested through use, it will be evaluated formally and refined.
开发了一个索引系统，为参与的医院提供医院药房实践中区域可用书面材料的最新列表。八家急症护理医院同意参与索引的开发，以避免在制作原始材料时出现工作重复。一个区域药物信息中心同意维护该索引，并作为这些材料的中央存储库。系统对时事通讯和公告的覆盖给予高度优先，其次是药物专论、定向研究和住院医师项目。大多数类别设定了三年的回溯索引期，以确保索引是最新的。对于研究药物清单、静脉给药专论和临时配制的药品，只列出有效条目。其他类别包括给药政策、特殊药物信息请求和面向患者的药物信息。代表们提供了来自其机构的相关材料，并进行了分类和索引。索引输入文字处理器，便于高效更新。该索引对参与的医院药房部门很有用。随着该系统在使用中进行测试，将对其进行正式评估和完善。
