title: Personnel requirements for improving services in a hospital pharmacy.
abstract: Pharmacy services at Boston Hospital for Women were made to meet 1976 JCAH pharmacy standards. Changes made in the pharmacy program are described, comparing the average amount of staff hours per week devoted to various pharmacy activities in 1974 and 1976. Activities are broken down into four major areas: administration, distribution of drugs, preparation of drugs and clinical programs. The clinical role of the pharmacist and updating of programs and operating procedures has been a major consideration in making changes.
