To orient pharmacists to bulletin board services (BBSs) as a source of drug information, and to provide information concerning equipment, services, and resources, as well as examples of systems that are used frequently.
Discussion:
Pharmacy-related BBSs allow pharmacists who have no experience with a new formulation or therapeutic use for a medication to obtain information from those who have such experience.
Conclusions:
As computers become increasingly common in both hospital and community pharmacies and because many BBSs provide free access to newsletters and databases for drug information, pharmacy-related BBSs represent an easy, inexpensive method to share ideas and obtain information on medication use.
