Clinical pharmacy workload measurement: pharmacokinetic and drug information services. 1990

D Hamilton, and G Brown, and J da Silva

British Columbia Children's Hospital.

Clinical workload measurement statistics have not been completely documented or related to service characteristics. The Clinical Hospital Pharmacy Administrative Group of British Columbia measured the time required for provision of clinical pharmacokinetic and drug information services utilizing standard definitions of component activities. Pharmacists in 10 participating hospitals independently recorded the time required for the various components of these services. The data collected allows for an estimation of workload requirements by similar institutions and allows for comparison of the impact of differences in methods of organization of the services on workload measurement.
