The role of a clinical pharmacist is outlined as interviewing patients on admission, monitoring of 'at risk' patients and drugs, and counselling on discharge. These functions were assessed on a 118 bed medical unit to try to quantify the potential workload and staff requirements needed to achieve it. It is suggested that the establishment of pharmacists for ward pharmacy services may need to be increased two-fold to accomplish the outlined role, and that a 24-hour service would be needed to cover some duties. However, before such a level of staffing can be achieved, the positive benefits of clinical pharmacy must be demonstrated.
临床药师的职责包括在患者入院时进行访谈、监测“高危”患者及药物，以及在出院时提供咨询。在一个拥有118张床位的内科病房对这些职能进行了评估，以试图量化实现这些职能所需的潜在工作量和人员需求。研究表明，可能需要将负责病房药房服务的药师人数增加一倍，才能完成上述职责，并且需要提供24小时服务来承担一些工作。然而，在达到这样的人员配备水平之前，必须证明临床药学的积极益处。
