Pharmacist-operated drug information centers in the United States

JM Rosenberg, RJ Fuentes, CH Starr, HL Kirschenbaum, and H McGuire


Pharmacist-operated drug information centers (DICs) in the United States were surveyed to obtain current information on the availability and scope of their services. Questionnaires were mailed in late 1991 to 179 institutions believed to have organized DICs. Topics covered in the questionnaire included staffing, resources, funding, and services provided. The results were compared with previous survey results to identify trends. Through 1992, 120 usable responses were received. Compared with findings from earlier surveys, DICs' affiliations with medical centers and hospitals have declined and affiliations with pharmacy schools have increased. More personnel work in DICs than ever. Computers are now used by nearly every DIC, there is an increased emphasis on quality-assurance programs for services rendered, and many DICs have increased revenue with new and expanded services. Although DICs are no longer increasing in number, their services are becoming more sophisticated.
