Php215 - Danish Medicine Council Process of Assessing New Hospital Medicines– First Year of Implementation

Abstract

provision of diagnostic services at the drugstores (p<0,05, c2-test) were established. The highest PC quality (51% -high, medium and low, 49% -unsatisfactory) was estimated for dispense of OTC-drugs. The PC quality of prescription drugs assistance and diagnostic services were unsatisfactory. The PC quality during dispense of OTC-drugs was significantly correlated with undergraduate study on OTC-drugs PC (rOTC1 ¼ 0.76) and professional development on the issues of PC during the postgraduate training of pharmacists (rOTC2 ¼ 0.65). CONCLUSIONS: Overall PC quality in Ukraine is compromised significantly by the fact that national PC system is focused mostly on OTC-drugs whereas appropriate assistance during dispense of prescription drugs and the provision of diagnostic services is lacking. The opportunity to address this issue in pharmacy educational programs as well as regulatory guidelines should be carefully considered.
