La farmacia hospitalaria rumbo al 2030

Hospital pharmacy is today a profession marked by therapeutic advances, with a proactive attitude, focused on people and their health. The evolution of processes is constant, with the full presence of digitalization, robotization and even artificial intelligence, in an environment that also requires the efficient and sustainable use of these tools. In this context, it is necessary to have a roadmap that guides the advancement of the profession and hospital pharmacy services.

Continuing with the philosophy of the 2020 initiative which, with the slogan “Towards the future, safely”, defined the strategic lines to advance in the improvement of hospital pharmacy practice, the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy wanted to raise the challenges the profession is currently facing and with a view to 2030.

With this strategic planning objective, twenty challenges have been identified and developed, which cover the different areas of action and involvement of hospital pharmacy and which cover clinical activities, transversal aspects, training and research, as well as areas related to people and to the organizations or health systems. For each of them, the objectives, standards, tools and resources have been defined. It is also planned to provide tools that facilitate monitoring of implementation and the impact on the profession, patients and the environment.
