OBJECTIVE To establish a pharmacist competency evaluation index system in the context of intelligent prescription review, promoting the professionalization and standardization of the prescription review pharmacist team.

METHODS Based on the first-level indicators of the “Pharmacist Pharmaceutical Service Competency Evaluation Standard(Trial)”, and in combination with the actual work of intelligent prescription review, the indicators were initially screened through content analysis. The Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of consultations with 32 experts from 10 tertiary general hospitals across the country to optimize the indicators. The subjective analytic hierarchy process combined with the objective entropy weight method was adopted to determine the weights of the indicators.

RESULTS A total of 4 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators, and 39 third-level indicators with their weight coefficients were finally established. The distribution of the weights of each indicator was reasonable. Among them, the weights of the “job skills”(0.415) and “teaching and research”(0.212) dimensions highlighted the trend of equal emphasis on professional skills and scientific research innovation. The high-weight third-level indicators such as “ability to review machine review results”(0.040) and “ability to participate in the design and writing of prescription review rules and logic”(0.032) reflected the core ability requirements of the intelligent transformation. Empirical application showed that this system effectively improved the prescription review pass rate and the scientific research output of pharmacists.

CONCLUSION The index system constructed in this study is scientifically reliable, with the advantages of both subjective and objective weighting, closely combined with the current pain points of the intelligent transformation of pharmaceutical services, providing a quantitative tool and theoretical support for the selection, assessment, and training of prescription review pharmacists, and has important practical promotion value.
