Pharmacy workload monitoring is crucial for demonstrating value and justifying new roles. This method tracks both distributive and clinical pharmacy activities to quantify their impact on risk management and cost reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Administration
  • Health Services Research
  • Workload Measurement

Background:

  • Effective documentation of pharmacy activities is essential for service expansion and demonstrating value.
  • Quantifying pharmacist workload is key to illustrating impact on risk management and drug cost reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a method for identifying and estimating time for distributive and clinical pharmacy functions.
  • To establish a system for monitoring pharmacy workload to justify new positions and services.

Main Methods:

  • Automated tabulation of distributive work units via the hospital billing system.
  • Manual documentation of clinical activities by decentralized clinical pharmacists.
  • Review of clinical monitors for compliance and standardization by pharmacy leadership.
