Pharmaceutical services in a third-party system: an analysis
Abstract:
The pharmacy system of the U.S. Army Health Services Command (HSC) is presented as a model of a third-party governmentally operated pharmacy system. The system is analyzed for FY 1979 and compared with national averages for a similar time frame. Within HSC, the pharmacists to supported population ratio is 12:100,000, the pharmacist to technician ratio is 1:1.3, each outpatient pharmacy supports 54,041 people, each hospital supports 84,713 people, and the HSC pharmacy cost per beneficiary per year is $14.44. The average pharmacist's salary is $22,000 per year, and the average technician's salary is $13,000. When the resource commitment for pharmacy services by HSC is compared to national averages, HSC supports a given population with fewer pharmacists, less drug costs, and fewer pharmacy facilities. HSC also supports a given population with fewer beds and admissions than the national average. The salary per pharmacist is comparable for HSC and the national average; however, within HSC, technicians receive a larger salary than the national average. It is concluded that, for a given population, HSC commits fewer resources in support of pharmacy services than the national average.

This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
