    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Health Informatics
    • Drug Information Services

    Background:

    • A statewide drug information system was developed to improve access to drug information for consumers and health professionals.
    • The system was initially funded by a grant from the State of Minnesota Department of Public Welfare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a statewide drug information system and the training of pharmacists involved.
    • To outline the structure and function of a network of drug information centers.

    Main Methods:

    • Establishment of 21 satellite drug information centers in community or hospital pharmacies.
    • Linking satellites via WATS telephone line to the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy library.
    • Implementation of a 1.5-day training program for pharmacists covering consultation, communication, retrieval, application, promotion, and referrals.

    Main Results:

    • Pharmacists utilized their own knowledge and experience most frequently (64.8%) for drug information retrieval.
    • Standard pharmacy reference books (13.4%) and the central clearinghouse (6.2%) were the next most utilized resources.
    • An average of 15-20 minutes per day was dedicated to the drug information service at each pharmacy site.

    Conclusions:

    • The described drug information system effectively disseminates drug information to consumers and health professionals.
    • Pharmacist training is crucial for the successful operation of such drug information systems.
    • The system's adaptable model can be implemented in other regions to improve drug information accessibility.
