The pharmacy research committee was formed and comprised numerous expert members, including clinical pharmacists, pharmacists specializing in drug information, and clinical research specialists. A member drafted the policy{\textquoteright}s guidelines, which were then reviewed and corrected by another member. The research specialist made the third revision. The subject emphasizes the Research policy of Data management in pharmaceutical care services. Results: The data management policy for research at pharmaceutical care services was established. That includes the design of the data collection, the data resources, and the data collector. Additionally, the data preparation for analysis, the data{\textquoteright}s reliability and validity, and storage data. Conclusion: The Data management policy for research in pharmacy practice is a new initiative as part of pharmacy departments{\textquoteright} research and development efforts. Data management in pharmacy care services may increase the documentation of pharmacist research and activities.

The survey was distributed through social media and as a 500-bed general hospital in Alhassa region, an ambulatory care pharmacy. The authors did the patients interview with electronic survey documentation. The survey was made an electronic format and it analyzed domain two about patient perception of pharmaceutical care services; challenges and developments in Saudi Arabia through the survey monkey system. Results: The total responders were 617 patients. Of those, 536 (87.7\%) was Saudi and 75 (12.3\%) was non-Saudi. The gender distribution 457 (74.1\%) were females and 160 (25.9\%) were males. The majority of patients visited the pharmacy in the past 12-months was 222 (36\%) more than ten times while 122 (19.8\%) attended (5-9 times). Most of the patient visited the pharmacy at evening 395 (64.6\%). Most of the patients{\textquoteright} 481 (83.5\%) spent less than 11 min with the pharmacist.
