With a lack of published studies helping to quantify key tasks for oncology pharmacists, the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA), in partnership with the Hematology/Oncology Practice and Research Network (PRN) of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP), surveyed hem/onc pharmacists with the goal of creating a consensus on the time necessary to complete common patient and non-patient care-related responsibilities.
The resulting research article represents the first comprehensive consensus statements on the average time for a U.S.-based oncology pharmacist to complete common care-related tasks. These endorsed statements may be utilized in measuring and evaluating hem/onc pharmacist workload and productivity.
The process and resulting consensus statements have been published in the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice.
