Background: Starting in 2021, U.S. federal regulations required hospitals to disclose their prices and negotiated third-party payor rates as well as publish chargemasters and pricing information for 300 shoppable healthcare services in a consumer-friendly manner. There is variation in hospital compliance with this policy. The purpose of this study was to report the level of hospital compliance and examine factors associated with compliance so as to promote consumer-friendly hospital pricing information disclosure.

Background: More people use more medications than ever before, which increases demands on the healthcare workforce to complete medication-related tasks. Nursing shortages are a challenge for many hospitals, therefore alternative roles are needed to create capacity within clinical teams to meet demands. Pharmacy assistants work in stores and dispensaries but with additional training can be redeployed as Ward Medicines Assistants (WMAs) to work in clinical settings to complete medication-related tasks. However, little is known about how much time WMAs spend on medication-related tasks or the impact this may have on productivity of nursing staff.
