Assessing the workload of clinical pharmacologists

Abstract

Hospital experts having a lot of work is coincided to safety, emergency services. For 50 beds there are an average of 0.749±0.583 clinical pharmacologists actively working in hospitals, which is not up to MNS 5260:2015 standards. Clinical pharmacologists not working in their asked for fields and the standards set for them was the main reason to tackle this issue. Methods: The research was done using methods such as chronometrage, content analysis and (workplace journalism). (Journalism) was done using 6 chapters of pre-prepared analysis cards. Results: The research was conducted on 100 experts from 7 national hospitals and 4 district hospitals. The research confirmed that in II and III tiertiary hospitals clinic pharmacologists work an average of 43.68 hours in 5 days, of which are an average of 4.38-15.75 hours on paperwork, 13.04-26.43 in mandated jobs, the head of the pharmacology department(HPD) had an average of 44.47 hours of which are 0.37-13.32 hours in mandated jobs, 2.97- 11.22 in official talks, 10.22-31.23 in paperwork, the supply chain managers averaged 43.90, and had 18.61-27.60 hours in mandated jobs, 4.47-18.84 in paperwork. Conclusions: When we compare the research conclusions with the working hours mandated in labor law, experts are overworked by an average of 5.57. When we look at the time spent ordered by mandated jobs, paperwork, personal time, official talks, and others, time for mandated jobs which are in the labor contract are insufficient. It is necessary to establish labor norms and standards based on research, update job descriptions, and assess work results to improve productivity.
