A survey of the clinical pharmacy services provided in medium-size hospitals in the United States.

Pharmacists have provided clinical pharmacy services in hospitals for at least 20 years. This survey of community hospital pharmacy departments has revealed that current clinical pharmacy involvement does not include performing the essential problem-solving activities necessary to assure safe and appropriate drug therapy. The importance of these activities and the conceptual framework of which they are a part, must receive more emphasis by the profession if clinical pharmacy is to become a standard of pharmacy practice.
