          Introduction  
          Provincial regulatory authorities have outlined the required list of resources necessary for community 
          pharmacy practice. This unit identifies drug information resources that may not be stipulated in regulation in 
          each province, but which practitioners have nonetheless identified as very useful. Resources to assist 
          pharmacists in finding information and evaluating the literature are included as well, along with a complete 
          list of Regional and Provincial Drug Information Centres. 
          Standards of Practice  
          This unit supports Standard #3 of NAPRA's "Model Standards of Practice for Canadian Pharmacists". "The 
          pharmacist identifies, retrieves, evaluates, interprets, and provides appropriate drug and pharmacy practice 
          information to achieve safe and effective patient care."  
          Where to Find Drug Information 
          MacCara et al (1997) published "Drug Information Resource: A Guide for Pharmacists", a list of reference 
          sources that are useful in answering drug information questions. The sources are organized under 15 
          categories, which typify frequently asked questions. 
          The Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP) published "Recommended Drug Information References 
          for Hospital Pharmacists" in 1995. The list was compiled with input from hospital pharmacists and drug 
          information specialists across Canada and is still current. The list includes recommended references 
          (textbooks, newsletters, databases and journals) according to specific subject headings. The references have 
          been divided into three categories: Essential, Basic and Secondary. Supplier information and prices are listed 
          where available. The list is applicable to community and hospital practice and is available from CSHP. 
          What Did Our "Leading Edge" Colleagues Recommend?  
          Useful references identified by leading edge practitioners (in addition to references required by regulation in 
          their provinces) include:

          Evaluating the Drug Literature 
          The department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University Health Sciences Centre 
          (1981) published a series of four articles to assist in evaluating the clinical literature. Articles are referenced in 
          the bibliography below.

          Cuddy et al (1983) also published a series of articles to assist in evaluating the medical literature, referenced in 
          the bibliography that follows.

          The Internet as a Source for Drug Information 
          The National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) maintains a list of information 
          resources for the public and health care professionals, available on the Internet. 
    How To File Drug Information 
    MacCara et al (1999) have published "Pharmacy/Drug Information: Where Do You File It?", a scheme to help 
    pharmacists organize all the ephemeral information they have collected/accumulated in the pursuit of 
    providing drug information to consumers and fellow health professionals. 
    In addition, the authors envision a scheme which pharmacists can download from the College website on the 
    Internet and adapt for their own use. This hierarchical scheme covers most facets of pharmacy knowledge --- 
    with the goal of categorizing and organizing the many topics in which pharmacists have an interest.
