Contribution of clinical pharmacists to patient care.

Literature reports of the contributions of clinical pharmacists to patient care are reviewed. The topics covered are: clinical pharmacist functions in the drug use process, specific clinical activities of clinical pharmacists, and specialty areas of clinical pharmacy practice. It is concluded that more research needs to be done on the effectiveness and legal basis of clinical pharmacy services, and that adequate methods of payment for clinical pharmacy services must be developed.

A drug experience registry.

The Drug Exerience Registry is a system for the recording and filing of drug-related patient events in a readily retrievable form. The purpose of the registry is to accumulate information on adverse drug reactions, unusual therapeutic successes of failures, and other experiences that may be useful for education, research or promotion of rational drug therapy. Data are recorded on case report forms which are categorized by organ-disease system affected, the clinical event and involved drug(s). These are then filed in the clinical event file along with literature synopses that serve as guides in evaluating the incidents and determining proper therapy. A drug file serves as a cross index to the clinical event file and allows one to quickly locate clinical events involving a drug. Both files contain sufficient hospital data to allow later retrieval of additional information if needed.

Comparison of the clinical utility of four drug information services.

The clinical utility of International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Iowa Drug Information Service, deHaen Drugs in Use, and deHaen Drugs in Research was compared. The number of references obtained for questions in five different clinical areas, and the amount of time for each search, were studied and compared. The Iowa Drug Information Service appeared to have the highest overall relative utility for obtaining clinical information. The two deHaen services offered broad coverage of the primary clinical literature. International Pharmaceutical Abstracts was effective in locating many useful references.
