Pharmaceutical Care
Pharmaceutical care is a patient-centered practice in which the practitioner assumes responsibility for a patient’s drug-related needs and is held accountable for this commitment
![Page 4: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The mission of the pharmacist is to provide pharmaceutical care.

![Page 6: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The outcomes sought are : 1. Cure of a patient’s disease.2. Elimination or reduction of a patient’s
symptoms.3. Arresting or slowing of a disease process.4. Prevention of a disease or symptoms.

theirother healthcare providers
![Page 8: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

![Page 9: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To achieve the goal of pharmaceutical care, the following must be accomplished:
A. A professional relationship must be established and maintained.
B. Patient-specific medical information must be collected, organized, recorded, and maintained.
C. Patient-specific medical information must be evaluated and a drug therapy plan developed mutually with the patient.
![Page 10: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Pharmaceutical Care - How
Patient care process– Assess needs– Identify problems / opportunities– Develop care plan– Implement plan– Evaluate for efficacy & safety
![Page 12: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Drug – Related Needs
1. Medication is appropriate– There is a clinical indication for each
medication– All conditions that can benefit from drug
therapyhas been identified
2. Medication is effective– Most effective drug is being used– At sufficient dosage to achieve goals
![Page 13: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Drug – Related Needs3. Medication is safe– There are no adverse reactions being
experienced– There are no signs of toxicity
4. Patient compliant– Willing and able to take the medication asintended• If criteria met, therapy is appropriate• If not we are responsible for fixing it!
![Page 14: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Outcomes - Oriented
Set goals for efficacy and safety, and monitorfor achievement
Prevent adverse events or poor outcomes– Drug interaction management
Efficacy Safety
HbA1CHypoglycemia
Blood PressureHypotension, HR
![Page 15: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pharmacists as Practitioner
We are not physicians
Distinctive responsibility for optimal drugtherapy.
Apply medical evidence and literature to an individual patient in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
![Page 16: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Need
Exponential increase in number of medications and associated information
– Overwhelms not only patients but HCPPatients more educated & involved in careMore complex therapyMore expensive
![Page 17: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Application
Transcends practice setting– Ambulatory care, long-term care, hospital ,
clinic– Basic level (standard of care) for all patients
regardless of specific disease states, # of drugs…
Should be provided by all pharmacist for all patients
Higher level of service may require a specialist
![Page 18: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Context
Practitioner + Patient = A Practice– Regardless of setting (community vs hospital)You are responsible to that patients for their
drug therapy– Patients may have many other healthcare
providers (HCP).– You focus on drug therapy & help reconcile
drug therapy plan between all HCP & the patient
![Page 19: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pharmacotherapy Workup
Major focus of class & labSystematic, structured, rational processSimilar to other HCP but uniquely focused on
pharmacotherapyIdentify, resolve & prevent problems with
indication, efficacy, safety or complianceApplication of knowledge to patient care
![Page 20: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Basic Questions
Is the patient’s problem caused by drug therapy
Can the patient’s problem be treated with drug therapy
![Page 21: Why are we learning this? How scientific knowledge (pharmacology, therapeutics) and clinical skills (measuring blood pressure, glucoses, drug information)](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4e5503460f94b44ccb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
