Abstract

A competency-based advancement program for practicing pharmacists is presented. The criteria for selecting this method of providing incentives for pharmacists are outlined. Procedures for developing and implementing this competency-based program are described. Five competency levels for pharmacists were developed based on the pharmacist's educational background, training, and experience. Differentiated position titles and competency expectations for each level are summarized. Criteria for pharmacist placement and promotion from one completely level to another are outlined. The administration of the program is described, including budget considerations and methods for evaluating its effectiveness. This system recognizes and rewards accomplishments of staff pharmacists without removing them from patient care roles.

The quality of health care in prison: results of a year's programme of semistructured inspections.

OBJECTIVES: To assess, as part of wider inspections by HM Inspectorate of Prisons, the extent and quality of health care in prisons in England and Wales. DESIGN: Inspections based on a set of "expectations" derived mainly from existing healthcare quality standards published by the prison service and existing ethical guidelines; questionnaire survey of prisoners. SUBJECTS: 19 prisons in England and Wales, 1996-7. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Appraisals of needs assessment and the commissioning and delivery of health care against the inspectorate's expectations. RESULTS: The quality of health care varied greatly. A few prisons provided health care broadly equivalent to NHS care, but in many the health care was of low quality, some doctors were not adequately trained to do the work they faced, and some care failed to meet proper ethical standards. Little professional support was available to healthcare staff. CONCLUSIONS: The current policy for improving health care in prisons is not likely to achieve its objectives and is potentially wasteful. The prison service needs to recognise that expertise in the commissioning and delivery of health care is overwhelming based in the NHS. The current review of the provision of health care in prisons offers an opportunity to ensure that prisoners are not excluded from high quality health care.
