Abstract

Pharmacists offer a specific service called drug information service, which aims to improve drug knowledge, encourage rational prescription, and lower medication mistakes. This service is offered in response to the questions posed by allied health professionals on medication-related concerns involving patient care and pharmacotherapy. Assessing patients' contentment with pharmacy services is crucial in guaranteeing the standard of care. It assists in pinpointing areas that need to be improved in order to offer top-notch pharmacy services and guarantee the delivery of improved pharmaceutical care. Aim: The purpose of the current study is to determine how pharmaceutical care services contribute to the improvement of healthcare services and how satisfied patients are with pharmacy services when they visit outpatient pharmacies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: Descriptive analytic cross sectional study design to determine how pharmaceutical care services contribute to the improvement of healthcare services. This design is a systematic and structured technique to collecting data from a sample of persons or entities within a broader population, with the primary purpose of producing a thorough and accurate description of the features, behaviors, views, or attitudes that exist within the target group. Conclusion: The findings from this study underscore the importance of community pharmacies as integral components of the healthcare system, serving diverse functions from medication dispensing to public health promotion.
