title: Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative task force report: Improving participation in a survey on hospital pharmacy practices in Texas.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Results of an initiative to increase participation in a survey on hospital pharmacy practices are reported.
  
  
  METHODS
  In an initiative led by pharmacy residents at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy, a task force was created to boost the rate of response to the Hospital-Assessment Survey (HSA), an online benchmarking tool developed as part of the ASHP-sponsored Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI). Under the guidance of leaders from ASHP's Texas affiliate and state health-system pharmacy leaders, an 11-member team of residents targeted Texas hospitals that had not responded to the HSA as of December 2013 and used phone and e-mail methods to encourage survey participation. Data obtained from newly responding institutions were aggregated with previously collected data on Texas facilities and compared with national data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During the 11-week initiative, 66 new HSA responses were received from Texas hospitals, raising the total number of respondents to 89 and boosting the overall participation rate from 4.3% to 16.7% (p <0.001). Analysis of the survey data indicated broad similarities among small and large Texas hospitals with regard to six optimal practice characteristics. Pharmacy practice models and characteristics in Texas overall were largely consistent with national statistics.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The involvement of the PPMI task force was associated with a substantial increase in the survey response rate. The survey results indicated that, with a few exceptions, practice models and the use of optimal practices were similar at Texas hospitals of various sizes and between Texas hospitals overall and sampled hospitals nationwide.
