How many patient should a pharmacist see per day in any standard to be referred?

The number of patients a pharmacist should see per day in any standard to be referred can vary depending on the country, jurisdiction, and specific healthcare setting. However, here is a general overview:

In the United States:

- According to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), a pharmacist should be able to provide adequate pharmaceutical care to a maximum of 10 patients per hour. This includes medication reconciliation, patient counseling, and other related services.

- The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) recommends a 1:20 patient-to-pharmacist ratio for community and hospital pharmacies. This ratio means that for every 20 patients, there should be one pharmacist available to provide care.

In Canada:

- The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) recommends a 1:50 patient-to-pharmacist ratio for community pharmacies. This ratio means that for every 50 patients, there should be one pharmacist available to provide care.

- In hospitals, the CPhA recommends a 1:100 patient-to-pharmacist ratio for general care areas and a 1:50 ratio for critical care areas.

It's important to note that these ratios are general guidelines and actual staffing requirements may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of patient cases, the availability of pharmacy technicians, and the workflow of the pharmacy.
