The role of pharmacists was ranked 1st or 2nd from 48.8% to 97.4% in medication management step 6 (selection & procurement, storage, prescribing, dispensing, administration, monitoring) of three jobs as doctors, pharmacists, nurses. The job performance of pharmacist was evaluated from 2.52 to 3.65 points on a 5-point scale. It was evaluated lower by nurses and doctors than pharmacists.
