Abstract
This study seeks to evaluate the impact of pharmacists' involvement in the care of patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This was a three-phase study.

In phase 1, after 6 months of data collection, clinical services were provided to 170 inpatients and 290 outpatients. For inpatients, there was an average discharge prescription revenue of $990 per patient through the outpatient pharmacy. In the outpatient clinic, pharmacist visits generated an additional $23,000 in charges (approximately $80 per patient) and an annual prescription revenue of approximately $840,000 through the outpatient pharmacy. In phase 2, pharmacists' activities led to a total time savings of 122 hours...Continue Reading
