PharmaTrend as a management tool: introduction.
Wilson AL.
Department of Pharmacy Services, University Hospital, St. Louis University Medical Center, MO 63110-0250.
Use of the PharmaTrend computerized management information system to document workload and productivity in hospital pharmacy departments is described. PharmaTrend provides indicators in the areas of revenue, cost, drug distribution, clinical services, research, education, and management support; examples are total direct cost per admission, total drug cost per drug distribution work unit, and comparisons between cost and revenue, supportive staff and pharmacist work hours, and total staff work and paid hours. The key information provided by PharmaTrend is not specific indicators or values, however, but the display of trends. PharmTrend files can be downloaded to other spreadsheet and database management programs; the sophisticated user can recalculate values for indicators or develop new indicators. Information about revenue and the cost of drug distribution is easily obtained from reports; this information, combined with data on hours worked to provide drug distribution services, can provide access to all the key PharmaTrend indicators. Institution-specific data are made available to managers elsewhere by submitting them for use in the PharmaTrend national report, which is organized so that users can compare values for their indicators with those reported by hospitals of various size in various geographic regions. PharmaTrend can be a valuable tool in hospital pharmacy management and provides a basis for developing accurate and meaningful workload standards for pharmacy practice.

PharmaTrend as a management tool: evaluation of the program.
Adams RC.
Lewis-Gale Hospital, Salem, VA 24153.
A critical evaluation of PharmaTrend, a personal computer-based program for the analysis of pharmacy workload and productivity, is presented. The use of PharmaTrend is facilitated by a number of support features. A tutorial program instructs first-time and infrequent users on how to negotiate PharmaTrend's data-entry screens. The manual is well written and organized, and a toll-free number is available should more technical questions arise. However, some of PharmaTrend's definitions are confusing, as is the program's method of capturing workload data on the preparation of intravenous solutions. Some of the data currently maintained in pharmacies will need considerable modification before they can be used as PharmaTrend entries. A few minor changes would transform PharmaTrend from a good to an exceptional program. In addition to clearer definitions, an option allowing the user to edit the definitions shown on the screen is needed. A line should be added to the data-entry screen to remind the user that F1 is the help key. Reporting would be facilitated if deadlines were changed to reflect standard quarters. PharmaTrend is advantageous for the analysis of departmental operations because it provides regional and national standards for comparison. It can also help justify proposals and defend existing services and staffing. The monthly and quarterly reports generated with PharmaTrend are useful in analyzing pharmacy operations, and the user can modify work-load times on the basis of local circumstances. These difficulties notwithstanding, the current cost of PharmaTrend appears to be a bargain. Although some aspects of PharmaTrend need refinement, its basic features make it a valuable management tool.

PharmaTrend as a management tool: capturing workload data.
Kienle PC.
Mercy Hospital, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18765.
Several methods of collecting workload data for use in PharmaTrend, a computerized pharmacy management information system, are described. Although the number of indicators produced by PharmaTrend is limited by the input of the user, the integrity of the indicators that are produced is not compromised; this allows the user to implement PharmaTrend on a limited scale, such as for workload only. Workload data that can be used in PharmaTrend are collected routinely by most pharmacies. Many activities are already recorded in logs and other noncomputerized sources. The aid of members of the pharmacy department and other departments may be enlisted in collecting these data. Self-reporting through time sheets and cards can also be used to obtain data on the distribution of work hours. Recording is simplified if employees are told to record only exceptions to their usual job responsibilities. The PharmaTrend manual contains detailed definitions of the workload categories, but simpler and more practical definitions may have to be used. A computer spreadsheet program should probably be used for compiling data if they are collected from several sources; this will facilitate entry into PharmaTrend. Simple methods are available for capturing workload data for input into the PharmaTrend program.
