of patient care and to enhance the job satisfaction of the clinical pharmacists

The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, China
The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital adopts the good pharmacy practices from the West and has implemented
an advanced clinical pharmacy system. We have been using near-patients and near-doctors approach to provide high
quality of clinical pharmacy service to patients and healthcare professionals to ensure safety and efficacy of drugs use. The
clinical pharmacists join the doctor-led ward rounds regularly on selected wards such as ICU and Medicines Wards. For all
newly admitted in-patients, the clinical pharmacists carry out medication reconciliation and the information is recorded in
the electronic prescribing system permanently. They also check the in-patient prescriptions for clinical appropriateness using
approved reference sources. In addition, pharmacists involve actively in warfarin patient counseling service and in the stroke
clinical pathway for our in-patients. Since early 2015, clinical pharmacists have participated in the smoking cessation clinic,
pediatric respiratory clinic and diabetic clinic to provide patient counseling services. In addition, clinical pharmacists deliver
drugs-related talks for patients in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre and on Endocrine Ward regularly and have prepared
medication-related videos and patient leaflets. Furthermore, clinical pharmacists give talks to patients in the Out-Patient Forum
regarding drugs use for smoking cessation, drugs use in hepatitis B, safe use of insulin injection, effective use of inhalation
devices and medication safety in children including use of oral syringe. All these quality improvement plans are to enhance
medication safety and optimization of drugs use. Clinical pharmacists in China find this experience rewarding and have gained
lots of job satisfaction by noticing the positive impact on the quality of patient care.
