The workload of a local hospital-based drug information centre over a 5-year period was studied and was related to the utilisation of primary reference sources in reply to drug related inquiries. Doctors used the service more often than any other health care professional group and questions relating to drug administration/dosage, choice of drug, adverse effects and pharmaceutical problems accounted for over 50% of the total number of inquiries. Over the study period there was an upward trend in the number of inquiries requiring the use of primary references in answering queries. Of these inquiries approximately 45% were concerned specifically with drug choice and adverse drug reactions. The results demonstrate the significant contribution of a drug information service to patient care, the interdependence of the pharmaceutical, medical and nursing professions and the need for drug information centres to expand their role into determining drug-use policies and the collation of adverse drug reaction reports. In addition, useful primary reference sources for the provision of drug information services have been identified and guidelines for the selection of appropriate journals have been given. The creation of in-house evaluated drug information literature is recommended.
对一家当地医院药物信息中心5年期间的工作量进行了研究，并将其与利用一级参考文献答复药物相关咨询的情况相关联。医生使用该服务的频率高于任何其他医疗专业群体，与药物给药/剂量、药物选择、不良反应和药学问题相关的问题占咨询总数的50%以上。在研究期间，回答问题时需要使用一级参考文献的咨询数量呈上升趋势。在这些咨询中，约45%特别涉及药物选择和药物不良反应。结果表明，药物信息服务对患者护理有重大贡献，药学、医学和护理专业相互依存，药物信息中心需要扩大其作用，制定药物使用政策并整理药物不良反应报告。此外，已确定了提供药物信息服务的有用一级参考文献来源，并给出了选择合适期刊的指南。建议创建内部评估的药物信息文献。
