We present a financial justification for an outpatient infectious diseases pharmacist, based on cost savings from decreases in length of stay for patients with infections and additional revenue generated by physicians and pharmacists while following patients discharged on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy.
我们基于感染患者住院时间缩短所节省的成本,以及医生和药剂师在跟踪接受门诊胃肠外抗菌治疗出院的患者时所产生的额外收入,提出设立一名门诊传染病药剂师的财务理由。
