Pharmacist to Patient Ratio

Can anyone share how you determine the number of pharmacists needed at your facility? My facility, a regional health center, is looking to add more pharmacists and wanted possibly evidence based data to justify the ask. We are currently seeing general RPh/Patient ratio of 1:30 is advised, but did not find data backing that number up.

Thanks!

Jacob Vogel, PharmD
