Abstract:
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE：To investigate the present situation of clinical pharmacy in different levels of medical institutions in Chongqing，and to investigate the method for optimizing clinical pharmaceutical care. METHODS：By questionnaire survey，50 sample medical institutions（including 15 third level hospitals，25 second level hospitals and 10 first level hospitals）in Chongqing were selected according to the region，the level of medical institutions，comprehensive and specialized hospitals. The team of clinical pharmacists and the development of clinical pharmacy were investigated，and the results were statistically analyzed to find common problems and put forward relevant suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：Totally 45 questionnaires were collected， with a recovery rate of 90％，of which 39 questionnaires were qualified，with a qualified rate of 86.67％. There were 32 hospitals （82.05％）in 39 medical institutions with clinical pharmacy departments and 4 hospitals（10.26％）with clinical pharmacist training base. There were 239 full-time pharmacists in 39 medical institutions，with an average of 6.13 persons in each medical institution， including 4.5 full-time clinical pharmacists，and 2-5 full-time clinical pharmacists（25 hospitals）in most medical institutions. Top 5 clinical departments that clinical pharmacists mainly participated in were respiratory department，cardiovascular department， endocrinology department，ICU and oncology department. Most of the clinical pharmacists（16 hospitals，42.11％）worked in the clinic for more than 50％ to no more than 80％. The number of medical institutions（28-37，＞70.00％）carrying out ADR monitoring， rational drug use knowledge publicity， prescription and medical order comment， ward round， consultation， editing and publishing drug information was relatively high. 28 medical institutions（78.95％）did not carry out the test of therapeutic drugs；39（100％）medical institutions had carried out the education of patients’drug use，in the form of billboards（30 hospitals，78.95％），science lectures（28 hospitals，73.68％）and drug education forms（28 hospitals，73.68％）The contents of drug use education mainly included precautions（39 hospitals，100％），usage and dosage（37 hospitals，97.37％）， ADR（36 hospitals，94.74％）. 29 hospitals had carried out clinical pharmaceutical research（73.68％），mainly rational drug use research（28 hospitals，73.68％）；5 medical institutions（12.82％）had set up joint pharmacy outpatient service，2（5.12％）had set up independent pharmacy outpatient service，the rest had not set up pharmacy outpatient service（26 hospitals，66.67％）. In this survey，it is found that there are some problems，such as incomplete coverage of beds in the ward in pharmaceutical care，weak foundation of scientific research in pharmaceutical departments. It is suggested that the national and local health committees should strengthen the construction of multi-level clinical pharmacy talent echelon，explore and train resident clinical pharmacists，select and build key clinical pharmacy specialties in Chongqing，and establish incentive mechanism for clinical pharmacists. Medical institutions at all levels can adopt multiple ways to accelerate the training of clinical pharmacists，increase the publicity of pharmacists’outpatient service，change the working mode of the ward，cultivate special clinical pharmacists，improve the ways and paths of continuing education，and enhance the strength of scientific research to improve the level of clinical pharmaceutical care.
