Questionnaires were sent out to the staffs (13 physicians, 52 nurses and 5 medical engineers) of the ICU/CCU at the University of Tokyo Hospital, to evaluate pharmaceutical services by analyzing problems in the services offered. Four components of pharmaceutical services were evaluated: inventory control of drugs, check of drug usage and doses, mixing of injections, and offering drug information. Almost all responses from medical staffs evaluated pharmaceutical services overall as "good". The high response rate (96%) from the nursing staff was attributed to the fact that they were familiar with the pharmacist's role with drug inventory, and mixing injections, when nursing was not available for these tasks. Although 50% of physicians rated the pharmaceutical services of providing drug information as "good", this value was lower than responses on other items of the questionnaires, which suggests some dissatisfaction. The occurrences of drug information obtained by passive offering (121 subjects) was 4 times as common as drug information obtained by active offering (30 subjects). From this finding, and comments on the questionnaires from physicians, it suggests that physicians require more drug information for dosage regimens, and prefer the drug information to be provided more actively. Further, an important comment from physicians and nurses was that the services of pharmacists are not available on all shifts/all days of the week to provide consultation for drug information and mixing of injections. Although having a pharmacist available daily around the clock is desirable and ideal to the medical team, the number of pharmacists under the present system cannot support this. As a solution, we think that it is crucial that pharmacists educate medical staff when they are present to in order to optimize therapy and patient care over time.
