ABSTRACT
A retrospective chart review of consultations performed by a clinical pharmacist practicing in an adult psychiatric hospital was conducted. Data during the first 12 months of the service were collected from consultation reports, progress notes, physician's orders, laboratory data, and discharge summaries. Twenty-nine consultations were performed, resulting in a total of 135 recommendations. Of those, 125 were assessed and categorized. Of the recommendations, 113 (90.4%) were medication related and 12 (9.6%) were non-medication related. From the 125 recommendations, 99 (79.2%) were implemented and 26 (20.8%) were not. Particular categories of recommendations were also analyzed and had individual implementation rates ranging from 33.3% to 100%. Clinical pharmacists have previously documented their positive impact on patient care in a variety of settings, including psychopharmacy. The majority of recommendations made in this study were medication related with an overall implementation rate of 79%. This report illustrates the influence the clinical pharmacist has on the drug therapy of the psychiatric patient.
