    Abstract

    The outpatient pharmacy at Lerdsin Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, struggles to meet the demands of an increased prescription workload due to a new social healthcare scheme. Through an analysis of the present process, we identified the main factors that contribute to the substandard thirty-five minute prescription wait time. Recommendations were developed for pharmacy service improvements in the areas of layout, staffing, and equipment in an effort to decrease patient wait time and prescription error.
