BackgroundHospital Pharmacist integration in a medical team improve inpatient care and safety.PurposeWe want to study the impact of this physical integration over the General Surgery service staff.Material and methodsDuring two months a pharmacist worked full-time in the General Surgery Area. To assess pharmacist’s impact over the surgical team, we developed a questionnaire (table 1) qualifying from 1 (less favourable) to 5 (most favourable). The questionnaire was filled out anonymously by the Surgery staff two weeks prior integration (PRE) and after two weeks (POST). The average score was obtained and PRE-POST groups were compared.Results28 questionnaires were collected: 5 nurses’ aides, 9 nurses, 14 surgeons. The results are shown in Table 1.Abstract OHP-021 Table 1ItemPREPOSTp1. Asses the role of Hospital Pharmacist reviewing medical prescriptions3.74.6 <0.012.
