Abstract
With the changes of the times and the growth of public demand for
medical services, the service objects, service contents and service
approaches of hospital pharmacists are also changing and increasing. By
summarizing the changes of hospital pharmacists' practice in hospitals
and their contributions to the improvement of hospital service quality
in the practice of hospital pharmaceutical care, this paper hopes that
more doctors, nurses and patients can have a more in-depth understanding
of the specific work of pharmacists, which, at the same time, will also
provide some reference for pharmacists at home and abroad to optimize
the level of pharmaceutical care. Compared with doctors and nurses,
hospital pharmacists have a much more systematic and professional drug
knowledge system and service concept, which can guarantee that they can
undertake the responsibilities of rational use of drugs, control of
medical expenditure, guarantee of efficacy, reduction of medical risks,
reduction of doctors' workload, improvement of national health and so
on. After years of practice and research, pharmacists have gradually
realized their own value and established professional needs through
hospital pharmaceutical care.
