Abstract

|
|
The shortcomings of the current medical law which determines the full number of hospital pharmacists based on daily number of prescribed drugs(chojaesoo) per pharmacist was discussed. The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the dily number of
dispensed drugs (chojaegunsoo), as well as daily number of dispensed drugs (chojaejaesoo, the sum of each prescribed drug multiplied by prescribed days)handled by each hospital pharmacist whose main duty is dispensing. the final purpose of this
thesis
is to establish the most reasonable way to estimate the full number of hospital pharmacists of perform their duty efficiently.
@ES The number of dispensing jobs performed by each hospital pharmacist were obtained by the following methods and were compared to the current medical law:
@EN 1) Questionnaires from pharmacists working at 70 different hospitals.
2) Investigating 7 hospital pharmacy with more than 400 beds
@ES The results on the questionnaires from hospital pharmacists working at 70 hospitals are as follows:
1) Each pharmacist was in charge of 59(20-294) beds.
2) Each pharmacist handled 158(20-601) chubangmaesoo, 272(45-1,046) chojaegunsoo and 1,111(162-4,475) chojaejaesoo per day.
3) Each prescription included 1.77(0.92-3.16) chojaegunsoo and 8.01(1.93-28.1) chojaejaesoo.
4) Compared to the current medical law, the actual full number of hospital pharmacists averaged to only 58%(8-400) while the total full number employed in pharmacy, including part-time pharmacists, intern pharmacists and technicians, exceed by
16%(116%).
5) Items investigated tended to show a fair amount of correlation, especially the number of beds vs the total full number employed in pharmacy, chubangmaesoo vs chojaegunsoo, and chubangmaesoo vs number of pharmacists based on medical law.
6) comparing with the actual number of pharmacists, the total full number employed in pharmacy showed the highest correlation, with the number of bed, chubnangmaesoo, chojaegunsoo, number of pharmacists based on medical law, and chljaejaesoo
following(r=0.969,~0.802).
@ES in addition, the actual amount of dispensing jobs conducted at 7 hospitals with more than 400 beds were investigated to be as follows;
@EN 1) Each pharmacist was in charge of 29 beds.
2) Each pharmacist handled 103 chubangmaesoo, 205 chojaegunsoo and 1,049 chojaejaesoo per day.
3) Each prescription included 2.03 chubangmaesoo, and 11.63 chojaejaesoo.
4) Compared to the current medical law, the actual full number of hospital pharmacists averaged to only 44% (27-68) while the total full number employed in pharmacy, including part-time pharmacists, intern pharmacists and technicians, was only
75%.
5) Items investigated showed higher correlation than between those in the questionnaire, especially the chubangmaesoo, vs chojaegunsoo, chubangmaesoo vs number of pharmacists based on medical law, chubangmaesoo vs chojaejaesoo, chojaegunsoo vs
chojaejaesoo, and number of pharmacists based on medical law vs chojaejaesoo, et al.
6) Camparing with the actual number of pharmacists, the total full number employed in pharmacy showed the highest correlation, with chubangmaesoo, chojaejaesoo, chojegunsoo, number of pharmacists based on medical law, and the number of bed,
orderly
decreasing in correlativity(r=0.977~0.944).
