Abstract Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is typically defined as an implementation of the potential Pareto criterion, which requires inclusion of any impact for which individuals have willingness to pay (WTP). This definition is incompatible with the exclusion of impacts such as rights and distributional concerns, for which individuals do have WTP. I propose a new definition: BCA should include only impacts for which consumer sovereignty should govern. This is because WTP implicitly preserves consumer sovereignty, and is thus only appropriate for ‘sovereignty-warranting’ impacts. I compare the high cost of including non-sovereignty-warranting impacts to the relatively low cost of excluding sovereignty-warranting impacts.

AbstrakApotek merupakan tempat dilakukan praktik kefarmasian oleh Apoteker. Apotek menjadi unit layanan kesehatan (fungsi sosial) dan unit bisnis (profit oriented). Apotek memiliki fungsi pendidikan yaitu sarana pembelajaran bagi calon tenaga teknis kefarmasian dan calon apoteker sebagai tempat praktik lapangan yang ideal menjadi nilai lebih dari Apotek Pendidikan. Selain itu, dapat menjadi tempat melakukan penelitian farmasi komunitas. Pendirian Apotek Pendidikan Tadulako (Apotek PenTa) dengan tagline LET’S TAKE A GOOD CARE OF OUR HEALTH (Caring, Serving, Learning, Educating, Being Healthy) sangat penting karena bertujuan menjadi apotek pioner yang melaksanakan implementasi peraturan pemerintah secara komprehensif dan berkesinambungan. Apotek PenTa menerapkan Branch Image Entrepreneurship yang menjalankan asuhan kefarmasian (pharmaceutical care) secara profesional dengan semboyan “no pharmacist no service”. Seiring dengan itu, terpenuhinya kebutuhan masyarakat akan layanan kefarmasian yang ideal, komunikasi yang efektif serta membina hubungan melalui monitoring pengobatan akan meningkatkan customer satisfied dan customer loyality sehingga omzet apotek dapat meningkat dan profit juga akan meningkat setiap tahun.Kata kunci: apotek pendidikan, asuhan kefarmasian, farmasisAbstractPharmacy is a place where pharmacy practices are carried out. Pharmacy becomes a health service unit (social function) and business unit (profit oriented). The pharmacy has an educational function that is a learning facility for prospective pharmacy technical candidates and prospective pharmacistsas an ideal field practice place to be more value than the Education Pharmacy (Apotek Pendidikan). In addition, it can be a place to conduct community pharmacy research. The establishment of the Tadulako Education Pharmacy (Apotek PenTa) with the LET 'S TAKE A GOOD CARE OF OUR HEALTH(Caring, Serving, Learning, Educating, Being Healthy) tagline is very important because it aims to be a pioneer pharmacy that implements comprehensive and sustainable government regulation. PenTa Pharmacy implements Branch Image Entrepreneurship that carries out pharmaceutical care professionally with the slogan "no pharmacist no service". Along with this, the fulfillment of thecommunity's need for ideal pharmaceutical services, effective communication and fostering relationships through monitoring treatment will increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty so that the turnover of pharmacies can increase and profits will also increase every year.Keywords: apotek pendidikan, pharmaceutical care, pharmacist

Background. The health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge in the dispensing of outpatient hospital medication (OHM). Models of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) based on community pharmacy support (ARTCP) have proven to be successful. The aim was to evaluate the degree of satisfaction, acceptability and limitations of the implementation of ARTCP, in the context of a pandemic, in our environment. Methods. Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in a Barcelona hospital, during the months of July-November 2020. A telephone survey was carried out via a questionnaire on the quality dimensions of the model (degree of satisfaction, acceptability) and associated inconveniences. Data collected: demographics, antiretroviral treatment (ART), concomitant medication, drug interactions (DDIs), CD4 lymphocyte count and plasma viraemia. Data analysis included descriptive statistics. Results. A total of 533 (78.0%) HIV patients receiving ART were included. 71.9% (383/533) of these patients were very satisfied and 76.2% preferred attending the community pharmacy rather than the hospital. The mean satisfaction rating was 9.3 (DS: 1.4). The benefits reported were: 1) proximity to home (406: 76.1%); 2) lower risk of contagion of COVID-19 (318: 59.7%); 3) shorter waiting time (201: 37.1%); 4) time flexibility (104: 19.5%); 5) reduction of financial expenses (35: 6.57%). A total of 11 (2%) patients reported no benefit. Only 22.9% reported disadvantages associated with ARTCP: 1) lack of privacy (65: 12.2%); 2) lack of coordinationorganization (57: 10.7%). Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the provision of pharmaceutical care for HIV patients. The ARTPC model has proved efficient, with patients reporting a high degree of satisfaction.
