Collecting workload data for pharmacy management systems like PharmaTrend is feasible using existing pharmacy records and self-reporting methods. These approaches ensure data integrity, allowing flexible implementation for workload analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Informatics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Pharmacy management information systems require accurate workload data for operational efficiency.
  • Existing pharmacy data collection methods may not be fully optimized for computerized systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe methods for collecting workload data suitable for the PharmaTrend system.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using existing data sources for pharmacy workload analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing pharmacy logs and non-computerized records.
  • Utilizing self-reporting via time sheets and exception-based recording.
  • Employing computer spreadsheet programs for data compilation.

Main Results:
