“…A recent survey of the activities of pharmacists found that patient care is their second most time consuming responsibility, and that this aspect of practice is expected to become even more important. 24 This new role in patient care has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number and variety of ethical dilemmas that can arise. Examples of areas in which such dilemmas may develop include those associated with monitoring and screening patients with chronic diseases, decision making on drug therapies, providing drug information, referral practices, clinical investigations, and the disclosure of flagrant incompetence of other health professionals.…”

A review of the literature on pharmacy ethics found little concern for ethical issues that arise from pharmacist involvement in clinical practice. This lack of recognition and concern for ethical dilemmas that arise from new pharmacist roles has serious implications for clinical practitioners because of their close involvement in patient care and with other professionals. Also, implications for the profession are serious since a lack of internal control invites external control. Pharmacy educators must provide a leadership role in addressing this lack of concern by systematic evaluation and improvement of ethics education. A model of ethics education is presented that is based on a science education model--both a theoretical and a practical component leading to skill development in recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas. In other words, pharmacy students will be trained to become their own ethics experts through the application of critical ethical thinking.

Relationships between use of pharmacy computers and performance of selected professional activities were investigated, via a survey of southern Michigan pharmacists. Respondents included users of two major computer systems as well as pharmacists who do not use computers. A net response rate of 65.7 percent (213 usable questionnaires) was achieved. In general, computer users reported encountering more drug-related problems than did nonusers and more frequent contacts with prescribers for drug-therapy problems. Little difference was found between the two groups in regard to patient counseling activities, except that computer users were more likely to use auxiliary labels. When responses from users of the two computer systems were examined separately, results suggested that one of the systems contributed positively to certain aspects of pharmacists' professional activities while the other system had little influence. These results indicate that it may not be possible to state general conclusions about the effect of computers on the professional practice of pharmacy.
