Providing pharmaceutical management to inpatients is an important part of the work of hospital pharmacists.However,there are few opportunities in postgraduate education to receive training in pharmaceutical management for inpatients.We conducted a group work (GW) workshop on auditing pharmaceutical management for inpatients and a questionnaire survey on the“status of audits of pharmaceutical management for inpatients”,“level of understanding of audits of pharmaceutical management for inpatients”and“satisfaction with the planning and management of this workshop”.
We performed an absolute evaluation and customer satisfaction analysis (relative evaluation) of the survey results which showed that the important issues in“improving the status of audits of pharmaceutical management for inpatients”were“to introduce audits in respective institutions”.In addition,the important issue in“improving the level of understanding of audits of pharmaceutical management for inpatients”was to“perform pharmaceutical evaluations”Furthermore,the important issues in improving the degree of“satisfaction with the planning and management of this workshop" were“date and place of the workshop”and“content of simulated cases”.The mean score for“GW is useful for understanding and practicing the tasks of this workshop”was the highest,suggesting that GW training was effective because its participants could immediately apply the knowledge obtained in lectures.
