PURPOSE: Results of the 2022 ASHP National Survey of Pharmacy Practice in Hospital Settings are presented.

METHODS: Pharmacy directors at 1,498 general and children's medical/surgical hospitals in the United States were surveyed using a mixed-mode method of contact by email and mail. Survey completion was online. IQVIA supplied data on hospital characteristics; the survey sample was drawn from IQVIA's hospital database.

RESULTS: The response rate was 23.7%. Inpatient pharmacists independently prescribe in 27.1% of hospitals. Advanced analytics are used in 8.7% of hospitals. Pharmacists work in ambulatory or primary care clinics in 51.6% of hospitals operating outpatient clinics. Some level of pharmacy service integration is reported in 53.6% of hospitals. More advanced pharmacy technician roles are emerging. For health systems offering hospital at home services, 65.9% of pharmacy departments are involved. Shortages of pharmacists and technicians were reported but are more acute for pharmacy technicians. Aspects of burnout are being measured in 34.0% of hospitals, and 83.7% are attempting to prevent and mitigate burnout. The average number of full-time equivalents per 100 occupied beds is 16.9 for pharmacists and 16.1 for pharmacy technicians.

CONCLUSION: Health-system pharmacies are experiencing workforce shortages; however, these shortages have had limited impact on budgeted positions. Workforce challenges are influencing the work of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Adoption of practice advancement initiatives has continued the positive trend from past years despite workforce issues.
