Patients with cardiac disease knew more about medicaments after receiving medicament-related counselling by a pharmacist on discharge from hospital. This was demonstrated by a questionnaire answered by 49 patients whose answers were compared with the results of a study conducted in 1991, when patients did not receive information from a pharmacist in hospital. More patients were pleased with the information, and most of them were satisfied with the consultation with the pharmacist. Lack of time was stated to be the main reason why other hospital health care professionals often provided insufficient information on medicaments to patients. It was discovered that physicians did not record a proper history of the medication. This affected management of the therapy and the information given to patients. This investigation shows that a pharmacist can make an important contribution to the care of patients. Health care professionals should begin to discuss with the health authorities how best to organize the information patients receive on medicaments.
患有心脏病的患者在出院时接受药剂师提供的药物相关咨询后，对药物有了更多了解。这一点通过49名患者回答的问卷得到了证明，他们的回答与1991年进行的一项研究结果进行了比较，当时患者在医院没有从药剂师那里获得信息。更多患者对这些信息感到满意，并且大多数人对与药剂师的咨询感到满意。据指出，时间不足是其他医院医护人员经常向患者提供药物信息不足的主要原因。研究发现医生没有记录正确的用药史。这影响了治疗管理以及向患者提供的信息。这项调查表明，药剂师可以为患者护理做出重要贡献。医护人员应开始与卫生当局讨论如何以最佳方式组织患者获得的药物信息。
