The results of a 1998 national survey of pharmaceutical services in hospitals throughout Australia are reported. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to all directors of hospital pharmacy services and senior hospital pharmacy managers to determine the extent of clinical and nonclinical pharmacy services provided by hospitals in Australia. Respondents chose the services their departments provide from a list of 26 commonly provided services. The response rate was 58.5%. Respondents were fairly evenly divided between teaching and nonteaching hospitals, but most of the respondents were from public (versus nongovernment) hospitals. The five most commonly provided services were imprest (a wordstock of frequently used medications that are regularly restocked by the pharmacy department), informal drug education for hospital staff, review of medication charts, control of drug purchasing, and inpatient dispensing. Review of medication charts and provision of drug education for the hospital staff were the most widely provided clinical pharmacy services. The most common services available from hospital pharmacies throughout Australia were imprest, informal drug education for hospital staff, review of medication charts, control of drug purchasing for the hospital, and inpatient dispensing.
