The results of a 1978 survey of outpatient pharmacies in university-affiliated hospitals are reported. A questionnaire with 55 items was sent to 75 university-affiliated hospitals with outpatient clinics. Sixty hospitals responded. Of the 47 usable responses, 44 were from hospitals with outpatient pharmacies. The outpatient pharmacies served a mean of 163 patients/day, dispensing a mean of 295 prescriptions/day. Prescriptions from outpatient clinics accounted for a mean of 57% of the outpatient pharmacies' prescriptions. Only four outpatient pharmacies provided 24-hour, seven-day/week services; the remainder provided a mean 11.1 hours of service per day on weekdays. The mean number of full-time equivalent pharmacists employed in the outpatient pharmacies (2.9) correlated positively with the number of prescriptions dispensed daily. The straight-fee pricing system was used by 62% of outpatient pharmacies but pricing systems varied with the type of product dispensed. Computer services were used in 28% of the outpatient pharmacies but were restricted mainly to accounting and inventory functions. Only 15% of the outpatient pharmacies maintained patient profiles for all patients served, and only 21% conducted special patient education programs in drug therapy.
本文报告了1978年对大学附属医院门诊药房的调查结果。一份包含55个项目的调查问卷被发送至75家设有门诊的大学附属医院。60家医院进行了回复。在47份有效回复中，44份来自设有门诊药房的医院。门诊药房平均每天为163名患者服务，平均每天调配295张处方。门诊处方平均占门诊药房处方的57%。只有四家门诊药房提供每周七天、每天24小时的服务；其余药房平日平均每天提供11.1小时的服务。门诊药房雇佣的全职等效药剂师平均数量（2.9名）与每日调配的处方数量呈正相关。62%的门诊药房采用直接收费定价系统，但定价系统因所调配产品的类型而异。28%的门诊药房使用计算机服务，但主要限于会计和库存功能。只有15%的门诊药房为所有服务患者建立了患者档案，只有21%的门诊药房开展了药物治疗方面的特殊患者教育项目。
