Medication delivery time requirements in centralized and decentralized unit dose drug distribution systems.

Medication delivery time requirements in centralized and decentralized unit dose drug distribution systems were compared. Four stages in the receipt of medication orders and the delivery of doses were identified, and the time required to perform each stage was recorded by pharmacist observers for seven days in each system. In the centralized system, it required 138--220 minutes to deliver doses after orders were ready to be collected at the nursing station, with the time varying according to order type. The same cycle required 1--40 minutes in the decentralized system. Delays in medication delivery were shorter in the decentralized system.

Pharmaceutical services in nongovernmental hospitals on the West Coast.

A survey of nongovernment, nonprofit and for-profit hospitals in Washington, Oregon and California was conducted to determine the incidence of selected hospital pharmacy services (1) directly related to drug distribution and (2) not directly related to drug distribution. Questionnaires were mailed to all qualifying hospitals in the three states; the return rate was 75.4%. Unit dose drug distribution was used in combination with other delivery systems by 58.3% of the respondents; 26.5% used unit dose exclusively. Over half of the respondents provided i.v. admixture programs, outpatient and inpatient discharge prescriptions, and inpatient medication profiles. Additionally, 77.9% provided pharmacy consultation to physicians. Nonprofit hospitals had significantly higher pharmacy staffing levels (both pharmacists and supportive personnel) than for-profit hospitals in the categories, "open seven days per week," "open nine to 16 hours per day," "open 17 to 24 hours per day, "101 to 200 beds" and "201 or more beds." Hospitals that provided the following services had significantly higher pharmacy staffing levels than those that did not provide the serices: unit dose drug distribution, i.v. admixture services, inpatient discharge prescriptions, inpatient medication profiles, drug therapy monitoring, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation team participation (difference of supportive staff only).
