          Abstract

          Resumen La gestión de los programas de Farmacia Clínica requiere comunicación, coordinación y organización para brindar la mejor atención posible a los pacientes y apoyar a los profesionales de los servicios de farmacia. Si bien existen ligeras variaciones entre los estilos de gestión de los diferentes ámbitos de la farmacia hospitalaria, existen algunos conceptos básicos que todos los gestores clínicos deben abordar. Estos incluyen formación, evaluación y apoyo al personal, evaluación y mejora de políticas y procesos, e investigación y docencia. La formación reglada impartida por personal cualificado es esencial para proporcionar un marco de actuación sólido encaminado a fortalecer las competencias del personal en general y de los farmacéuticos clínicos en particular. La comunicación, evaluación y discusión continuas sobre recompensas y promociones sirven para intensificar el apoyo al personal y reconocer la excelencia profesional. La evaluación y mejora continuas de políticas y procesos ayudan a identificar posibles áreas de mejora y a consensuar e implementar los cambios necesarios. La investigación es necesaria para optimizar la atención sanitaria y mejorar los resultados en salud. Los gerentes y responsables hospitalarios deben adaptar sus métodos de trabajo en función de las necesidades de su práctica asistencial, de las características de la institución en la que trabajan y de los profesionales que ejercen sus funciones en ella. De este modo, podrá promoverse el desarrollo de profesionales farmacéuticos, políticas y rutinas de trabajo que permitan ofrecer a los pacientes la más alta calidad asistencial.

          Abstract Managing clinical pharmacy programs requires communication, coordination, and organization to provide the best possible care to patients and to support staff members. While different areas of pharmacy have slight variations in management style, there are core concepts that all clinical managers should address. These include training, staff evaluation and support, assessment and improvement of policies and processes and research. Standardized training performed by high performing members of staff is essential in providing the framework for strong employees and clinical pharmacists. Routine communication, evaluation, and discussion of reward and promotion will provide support to staff and recognition of high-quality work. Continued evaluation and improvement of policies and processes will bring attention to areas of improvement and how the change can be agreed upon and implemented. Research is necessary to advance the healthcare practice and improve patient outcomes. Managers and administrators should tailor their approach based on what is best for their practice setting, institution, and staff to promote strong and capable pharmacists, policies, and workflow to provide the best possible care to patients.

            Clinical pharmacy services, pharmacy staffing, and hospital mortality rates.

            To determine if hospital-based clinical pharmacy services and pharmacy staffing continue to be associated with mortality rates. A database was constructed from 1998 MedPAR, American Hospital Association's Annual Survey of Hospitals, and National Clinical Pharmacy Services databases, consisting of data from 2,836,991 patients in 885 hospitals. Data from hospitals that had 14 clinical pharmacy services were compared with data from hospitals that did not have these services; levels of hospital pharmacist staffing were also compared. A multiple regression analysis, controlling for severity of illness, was used. Seven clinical pharmacy services were associated with reduced mortality rates: pharmacist-provided drug use evaluation (4491 reduced deaths, p=0.016), pharmacist-provided in-service education (10,660 reduced deaths, p=0.037), pharmacist-provided adverse drug reaction management (14,518 reduced deaths, p=0.012), pharmacist-provided drug protocol management (18,401 reduced deaths, p=0.017), pharmacist participation on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation team (12,880 reduced deaths, p=0.009), pharmacist participation on medical rounds (11,093 reduced deaths, p=0.021), and pharmacist-provided admission drug histories (3988 reduced deaths, p=0.001). Two staffing variables, number of pharmacy administrators/100 occupied beds (p=0.037) and number of clinical pharmacists/100 occupied beds (p=0.023), were also associated with reduced mortality rates. The number of clinical pharmacy services and staffing variables associated with reduced mortality rates increased from two in 1989 to nine in 1998. The impact of clinical pharmacy on mortality rates mandates consideration of a core set of clinical pharmacy services to be offered in United States hospitals. These results have important implications for health care in general, as well as for our profession and discipline.
