Pharmacist-operated drug information centers (DICs) in the United States were surveyed to obtain current information on the availability and scope of their services. Questionnaires were mailed in late 1991 to 179 institutions believed to have organized DICs. Topics covered in the questionnaire included staffing, resources, funding, and services provided. The results were compared with previous survey results to identify trends. Through 1992, 120 usable responses were received. Compared with findings from earlier surveys, DICs' affiliations with medical centers and hospitals have declined and affiliations with pharmacy schools have increased. More personnel work in DICs than ever. Computers are now used by nearly every DIC, there is an increased emphasis on quality-assurance programs for services rendered, and many DICs have increased revenue with new and expanded services. Although DICs are no longer increasing in number, their services are becoming more sophisticated.
对美国药剂师运营的药物信息中心（DICs）进行了调查，以获取有关其服务可用性和范围的当前信息。1991年末，向179个据信设有DICs的机构邮寄了调查问卷。问卷涵盖的主题包括人员配备、资源、资金以及提供的服务。将结果与之前的调查结果进行比较，以确定趋势。到1992年，共收到120份可用回复。与早期调查结果相比，DICs与医疗中心和医院的附属关系有所下降，与药学院的附属关系有所增加。在DICs工作的人员比以往任何时候都多。现在几乎每个DIC都使用计算机，对所提供服务的质量保证计划的重视程度有所提高，许多DIC通过新的和扩展的服务增加了收入。尽管DICs的数量不再增加，但其服务正变得更加复杂。
