The ability of a pharmacist to act as an applied pharmacologist and assist the pediatric clinical pharmacologist in providing influential drug information to attending pediatricians was studied. One hundred consecutive admissions to a pediatric unit of a university hospital were studied. The pharmacist, acting as a member of the department of pharmacology, attended ward rounds and closely followed patient therapy. He attempted to provide all information requested by the attending team of pediatricians and identify all problems in therapy without involving the pharmacologist. Regular meetings were held with the clinical pharmacologist in which the pharmacist made patient presentations and sought assistance in answering those requests for which he had been unable to provide sufficient information. The information provided by the pharmacist during the patient presentations was judged adequate for the clinical pharmacologist's evaluation of patient therapy 96% of the time. The pharmacist successfully answered 81% of the information requests and made 88% of the recommendations directed at change in therapy without involving the pharmacologist. It was concluded that the pharmacist performed successfully as an applied pharmacologist in this study.
研究了药剂师作为应用药理学家协助儿科临床药理学家向主治儿科医生提供有影响力的药物信息的能力。对一家大学医院儿科病房连续收治的100名患者进行了研究。作为药理学系成员的药剂师参加查房并密切跟踪患者治疗情况。他试图提供主治儿科医生团队要求的所有信息，并在不涉及药理学家的情况下识别治疗中的所有问题。与临床药理学家定期开会，会上药剂师汇报患者情况，并就他无法提供充分信息的问题寻求帮助。药剂师在汇报患者情况时提供的信息在96%的情况下被临床药理学家认为足以用于评估患者治疗。药剂师成功回答了81%的信息请求，并在不涉及药理学家的情况下提出了88%旨在改变治疗方案的建议。得出的结论是，在本研究中，药剂师作为应用药理学家表现出色。
