Utility of HealthProLink as a Tool by Pharm.D. Students on Experiential Rotations to Track Interventions

Class of 2005 Abstract / Objectives: To compare the interest in and the utility of a clinical intervention documentation tool for Pharm.D. students and preceptors on the basis of gender, age, and years and type of practice.
Methods: A web-based survey (pre and post) was administered to all willing subjects. The survey web page was accessed through email. Results: Pre-surveys were completed by 14 students and 4 preceptors. Post-surveys were completed by 3 students (only one of which used the tool) and one preceptor. Due to the poor response rate results on the post-survey and the preceptors pre-survey were not analyzed. For the students pre-survey there were no statistical differences between the men and women in regards to their age. No statistically significant differences were found for students thoughts on utility and usefulness of the documentation tool on the basis of gender. Also there was no statistical difference between the men and women about the likely hood of them using a documentation tool if it was available to them.
Implications: This study found that students regardless of gender thought that a documentation tool may prove useful for preceptors and themselves. If a documentation tool was implemented it could provide important information of student activity to the preceptors as well as the College of Pharmacy.
