Abstract

The findings of an Indian hospital survey into private hospitals' typical pharmacy practices have been revealed. Among all private hospitals, a random sample was selected. About 109 was the gross sample size and the questionnaire lists were mailed to each pharmacy head. There were 77 valid responses, or a 70% net response rate. According to the respondents, a pharmacy would typically operate for 137.41 hours every week. 79.5% of responders offered complete unit dose medicine distribution. In 68.4% of the hospitals, computerized pharmacy systems were utilized for inpatients, and in 22.3% of the hospitals, for both ambulatory and inpatients. This is not a comprehensive analysis; rather, it is a thorough overview of pharmaceutical services. The survey aimed to gather data on a broad range of services; nonetheless, the results do not represent a comprehensive list of pharmaceutical services provided by community hospitals. In more narrowly focused areas, it is hoped that the results would inspire other scholars to conduct more research (using survey techniques and other approaches).
