Many misperceptions exist in the health care community about the Joint Commission's accreditation of home pharmaceutical services, primarily related to when pharmacy services are considered home care and which patients or services are eligible for survey. This article concentrates on eligibility for survey and accreditation of just one of the six eligible home care services-home pharmaceutical services. The concept of home care and pharmaceutical services is difficult for most people to understand. Unlike other home care services, pharmacy services cannot be provided directly in the patient's home. Pharmacy laws prohibit pharmacists from compounding and dispensing directly in the patient's home. The pharmacists must do these activities in a licensed pharmacy. Also, most patients who receive medications from pharmacies take their own medications in their homes. So the differences between home care pharmacy and ambulatory or retail pharmacy are much less clear-cut than the delivery of more traditional home care services such as nursing or home health aide services.
在医疗保健界，对于联合委员会对家庭药学服务的认证存在许多误解，主要涉及药学服务何时被视为家庭护理以及哪些患者或服务有资格接受调查。本文仅关注六项符合条件的家庭护理服务之一——家庭药学服务的调查和认证资格。家庭护理和药学服务的概念对大多数人来说很难理解。与其他家庭护理服务不同，药学服务不能直接在患者家中提供。药事法规禁止药剂师在患者家中进行调配和发药。药剂师必须在有执照的药房进行这些活动。此外，大多数从药房领取药物的患者会在自己家中自行服药。因此，家庭护理药房与门诊或零售药房之间的区别，远不如提供护理或家庭健康助理服务等更传统的家庭护理服务那么清晰。
