The impact of a specially trained pharmacist upon the treatment of chronic psychiatric outpatients being maintained within their communities was studied. The quantity and costs of the services provided were assessed as well as patient satisfaction and well-being. Three years of management information data from eight mental health centers were used to compare the medication monitoring services provided by pharmacists and psychiatrists. In a separate study of chronic psychiatric outpatients, patients treated exclusively by the pharmacist were compared with patients treated by other mental health professionals on measures of community adjustment and satisfaction with treatment. The pharmacist monitored the medications of about 200 chronic psychiatric patients each month. The cost of a pharmacist providing medication monitoring services was 40% of the cost of providing that service by a psychiatrist. The pharmacist's patients were found to be functioning in the community as well as or better than other patients and their reported satisfaction with treatment was at least that of other chronic psychiatric patients sampled. The psychiatric pharmacist in this study successfully monitored stabilized psychiatric patients within their communities.
研究了经过专门培训的药剂师对社区内慢性精神科门诊患者治疗的影响。评估了所提供服务的数量和成本以及患者满意度和幸福感。使用来自八个心理健康中心的三年管理信息数据，比较药剂师和精神科医生提供的药物监测服务。在一项针对慢性精神科门诊患者的单独研究中，将仅由药剂师治疗的患者与由其他心理健康专业人员治疗的患者在社区适应和治疗满意度方面进行了比较。药剂师每月监测约200名慢性精神科患者的药物。药剂师提供药物监测服务的成本是精神科医生提供该服务成本的40%。发现药剂师的患者在社区中的功能与其他患者相同或更好，并且他们报告的治疗满意度至少与其他抽样慢性精神科患者相同。本研究中的精神科药剂师成功地在社区内监测了病情稳定的精神科患者。
