Visuomenės vaistinėse teikiamos farmacinės paslaugos tyrimas ir įvertinimas / Analysis and evaluation of the pharmacy service provided in community pharmaciesGrincevičius, Jonas 03 October 2008 (has links)
Šis tyrimas biomedicinos mokslui pateikia naujų duomenų apie galimybes ir pasiruošimą teikti vieną iš sveikatos priežiūros sistemos paslaugų – farmacinę paslaugą. Darbo tikslas – atskleisti farmacinės paslaugos sampratą ir prielaidas sociumo kaitos kontekste ir, remiantis farmacijos specialistų požiūriu bei pacientų lūkesčiais, pateikti rekomendacijas farmacinei paslaugai tobulinti. Darbe tiriama farmacinės paslaugos prielaidos ir samprata, remiantis Lietuvos farmacinę veiklą reglamentuojančiais norminiais aktais. Teoriniu atžvilgiu tyrime atskleistas farmacinės paslaugos daugiamatiškumas, principai ir funkcijos praplečia požiūrį į farmacijos specialistą, kuris, teikdamas farmacinę paslaugą, atlieka plačias socialines, taip pat ir sveikatos priežiūros specialisto funkcijas. Išanalizavus problemas, su kuriomis susiduria farmacijos specialistai, teikdami farmacinę paslaugą, ir įvertinus veiksnių, mažinančių galimybes suteikti pilnavertę paslaugą, įtaką, pateikiamos rekomendacijos, kurių įgyvendinimas padėtų tobulinti farmacijos specialistų veiklą. Pacientų lūkesčių ir farmacijos specialistų nuomonės analizė sudaro sąlygas įvertinti priežastis ir numatyti modelius, kaip užtikrinti tinkamą tarpusavio bendradarbiavimą, lemiantį gerą farmacinės paslaugos kokybę. / The sociologic data from the study showed the possibility and readiness to introduce the pharmacy service as a part of the health care services. The aim of this research was to develop the concept of, and preconditions for, the pharmacy service in the context of the social changes, and to offer recommendations for the improvement of the service, according to the attitudes of pharmaceutical specialists and expectations of patients. Preconditions for, and the concept of, the pharmacy service are analyzed in the context of the modern pharmacy regulations of the Republic of Lithuania, which has not yet been done in other research works. The theoretical analysis discloses the multidimensionality, the fundamentals and functions of the pharmacy service and creates a comprehensive view of the pharmaceutical specialist who performs multiple social and health care functions while providing the pharmacy service. Based on the analysis of problems occurring in the pharmacist’s work as well as on the evaluation of factors influencing the provision of a high-quality pharmacy service, recommendations are given in this work, which may improve the quality of pharmacists’ activities. Research findings may help to adjust the pharmaceutical specialists’ education programmes, develop a strategy for avoidance of internal and external barriers in the pharmacy sector, improve the pharmacy service and make it more accessible to the public.

Aspects of the demographic profile and standard of pharmaceutical services in South Africa / J. AdsettsAdsetts, Jacqueline January 2006 (has links)
The objects of the South African Pharmacy Council in terms of the Pharmacy Act, 1974
(5311974) as amended are, inter alia, "to uphold and safeguard the rights of the general public
to universally acceptable standards of pharmacy practice in both the private and the public
sector" as well as "to establish, develop, maintain and control universally acceptable standards
of practice of the various categories of persons required to be registered.. ." One of the major
difficulties health care providers worldwide are faced with is how to maintain a proper balance
between the trio goals of health care, namely adequate access, high quality and acceptable
costs (Li, 2003:192-193). Relatively little is known about such problems as do exist for patients
regarding access to pharmaceutical services (Doucette et al., 1999:1268).
Two main objectives were identified for this study, namely to investigate the demographic profile
of community and institutional pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council;
and to determine the standard of pharmaceutical services provided by these pharmacies.
Inspection results of community and institutional pharmacies were obtained from the South
African Pharmacy Council and extracted for the time period 1 January 2004 to 31 May 2005.
To determine the demographic and geographic profile of these pharmacies, data of the Register
of Pharmacies of the South African Pharmacy Council for August 2003, 2004 and 2005 were
merged with the Census data of South Africa of 2001.
It was found that the total number of pharmacies in both the public and private sectors
increased with 2.1% (n=68) from August 2003 to August 2005. Public and private pharmacies that provided services directly to patients increased with 6.3% (n=33) and 1.3% (n=35) from
August 2003 to 2005. It was found that the Gauteng province was the best provided with
registered pharmacies in South Africa, as only 0.06% (n=5 783) of the population did not have
any registered pharmacy available on municipality level. It was also revealed that the majority
of inspections were carried out in Gauteng, whilst this province accounts for only 19.7% of the
total population of South Africa.
During the study period a total of 1178 community pharmacy inspections were carried out in
1103 community pharmacies (one or more inspections per pharmacy) representing 43% (n=2
550) of the total number of community pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy
Council during May 2005. Nationally community pharmacies achieved a score of 92.27 (+ 6.65
per cent) for compliance with Good Pharmacy Practice guidelines. The lowest compliance
score (73.34 + 27.49 per cent) was obtained for the availability of written standard operating
procedures and the highest was for the promotion of public health (99.02 + 6.30 per cent). No
practical significant differences (dc0.8) were found between the overall compliance scores
obtained by community pharmacies of the different provinces. The highest compliance score
was obtained by community pharmacies in the Free State (93.09 + 4.90 per cent), followed by
Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Kwazulu Natal, Limpopo, Northern Cape, Gauteng, Mpumalanga
and the North West.
A total of 343 institutional pharmacy inspections (one or more inspections per pharmacy) were
carried out in public and state subsidised institutions (n=245), private institutions (n=90) and
mine hospitals (n=5). These pharmacies represented 46% of the total number of institutional
pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council during May 2005. Nationally all
institutional pharmacies (both private and public) achieved a score of 92.49 + 8.33 per cent for
compliance with Good Pharmacy Practice guidelines for all above-mentioned aspects.
Nationally public and state subsidised institutional pharmacies obtained a lower compliance
score (91.02 + 9.08 per cent) than private institutional pharmacies (96.39 + 3.91 per cent).
Lastly, a grading system was developed that was based on the results obtained through this
study, in order to quantify the standard of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacies in
South Africa. / Thesis (M.Pharm. (Pharmacy Practice))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.
