Urgency in Pharmaceutical Care: Developing a Realistic Clinical Framework for Pharmacy Students

Abstract

Dean Yang

The resolution acknowledges potential to improve pharmaceutical treatment through collaborative and patient-centered approaches, as well as certain difficulties. The resolution lists the following steps in pharmaceutical care: patient assessment of medication, health problems, and health status; identification and prioritisation of medication-related problems; selection of interventions and formulation of pharmaceutical care plan; patient agreement, implementation, and monitoring; and patient follow-up. Other concepts, such as medications optimisation, as defined by the UK National Health Service (NHS), are sometimes used to refer to (parts of) pharmaceutical care as stated above. This work incorporates these ideas to the extent that they are consistent with the definition of pharmacological care.
