ACCP PBRN Registry: A Cross Section of the Membership

To date (as of May 28, 2009), there are 359 individual members. ACCP PBRN pharmacists provide clinical services an average of 5 half-days (±3 days) per week. This represents a total of 1165 half-days/week. For the 356 who see patients, the mean number of patients seen by our PBRN members each week is 45 ± 50 (0–200). This equates to 9120 patient encounters by our PBRN clinical pharmacist members in 1 week. Only 9% have any dispensing activities. Of those, the average is 11 hours/week spent dispensing. About 38% use scope of practice agreements. Virtually all of the PRNs are represented. The ACCP PBRN membership reflects a true cross section of the ACCP membership.

A total of 207 sites are registered in 43 states and 11 countries. About 61% of our ACCP PBRN members practice within an inpatient or emergency department setting, and the rest practice in an outpatient setting. Ninety percent are located in urban areas with populations greater than 50,000. Almost two-thirds use electronic medical records, and virtually all (93%) have Internet and e-mail capabilities.

The ACCP PBRN registry is open to all ACCP members who are involved in direct patient care or have access to patients for research purposes. No research experience is required. Join the registry today at http://www.accpri.org/pbrn/registration.aspx.
