The study was envisaged to determine pharmacists' perception regarding community pharmacy services and to determine the perceptions of the general public with regard to the community pharmacist and the current pharmacy service. Community pharmacist and general public questionnaires were updated and psychometrically evaluated through reliability and validity testing. The questionnaires were distributed amongst pharmacists and consumers. The data collected provides insight on issues relating to pharmacy services such as consultation areas, patient medication records, continuing professional development and implementation of pharmacist prescribing.

Download or read book Community Pharmacists Perceptions of Their Collaborative Working Relationships with Physicians for Drug Therapy Management written by Andree Danielle Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose. To determine community pharmacists' perceptions of their collaborative working relationships (CWRs) with physicians and of factors that contributed to or hindered collaborative drug therapy management (C-DTM). Methods. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical building pharmacists in Toronto who varied in gender and years of practice experience in Canada. Interpretive content analysis was performed. Results. Pharmacists desired a role in C-DTM to reduce the number of drug therapy problems; however, collaboration was uncommon. Pharmacists' best CWRs were at low, mid, and high levels. Attributes ascribed to CWRs were trust, working together, communication, sharing decisions and patient information, and patient referral. Factors that contributed to or hindered the development of CWRs at the practice and system levels were described. Conclusions. C-DTM is infrequent and does not occur to the extent that participants perceived was necessary to improve prescribing and patient outcomes. McDonough and Doucette's CWR Model (2001) should include third-party (i.e. receptionist) and systemic factors as influences on pharmacist-physician CWRs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives. To determine the perceptions of consumers toward community pharmacy quality measures and compare their perceptions regarding their pharmacy's overall quality before and after exposure to these measures. To explore the use of evaluative criteria applied by consumers to determine their preference for information related to these measures. Methods. Focus groups were used to refine attributes and levels used in the quantitative phase of the study. An Internet-based survey was administered to a national, online, consumer panel of community pharmacy patrons using maintenance medications. Descriptive statistics, MANOVA and t-tests were used to determine and compare perceptions related to the community pharmacy quality measures. Conjoint analysis was used to evaluate the relative importance of consumer preferences for the four selected attributes. Results. Consumers attributed a higher level of importance to items related to the pharmacy's operations and outcomes as compared to those related to its environment. Consumer perceptions regarding their pharmacy's overall quality were not found to be statistically significantly different from one another before and after exposure to the aforementioned items. 'Measure-type ' was the most important followed by ' Source ', 'Star ratings ', and 'Accreditation ' was the least important attribute measured. Just over half (52.2%) of the respondents indicated they were likely to use report cards and would recommend their use to family and friends. Of these respondents who were likely to use, 69.5% reported they would switch to a pharmacy that matched their definition of 'ideal' based on report card information. Conclusions. Respondents perceived their current pharmacy to provide quality care, which suggests that they are satisfied with the level of care they are receiving from their pharmacy. 'Measure type ' being rated as the most 'important' of the four attributes included in the conjoint analysis was not totally unexpected, since it conveys the characteristics of the pharmacy and thus, based on pharmacy patronage literature would be the most salient when making patronage decisions. Attitudes toward report cards were generally favorable, and it is possible that once report cards become a reality and are endorsed widely, consumers will use the data to inform their community pharmacy patronage decisions.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the role of the pharmacist has been to dispense medications. Currently, this role has shifted to include more medication counseling with a focus on patient-centered care. However, various social and physical barriers exist in community settings that prevent effective medication counseling. These barriers create an environment that restricts the community pharmacists ability to build relationships with patients; through medication counseling. It is vital for community pharmacists to more clearly understand what intrapersonal factors drive a patient to use them for medication counseling. If pharmacists better understood these factors, they could implement different strategies to engage patients. The application of the Health Belief Model could help pharmacists better understand their patients in order to improve medication counseling utilization. This study also provides a valid survey tool for community pharmacists to evaluate how these factors may predict the likelihood of individuals to participate in medication counseling. It is important to assess patients' perceptions of medication counseling provided by community pharmacists so pharmacists have a greater capability of increasing the utilization of these services. This could aid pharmacists in building stronger relationships with patients, increasing the likelihood of patients to participate in more thorough; reimbursable counseling services in the future. Objectives: 1. To explore relationships between factors that influence the likelihood to participate in medication counseling 2. To identify predictors of an individuals likelihood to participate in medication counseling provided by community pharmacists Methods: This cross-sectional study used a 38-question, 4 or 5-point Likert scale survey, which was developed using constructs from the Health Belief Model (HBM) to measure patient perceptions. This survey was created using elicitation interviews and previous research in patient perception. Each section of the survey represents a construct of the HBM. The validity and reliability of the survey was tested using post-hoc principal component analysis and Cronbach's alpha. This survey was administered to a convenient sample in shopping malls located in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and across the United States online using Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearsons correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: Between February-March 2016, there were a total of 500 individuals who agreed to take the survey. There were 448 responses retained for analysis. Cronbachs alpha for each of the five constructs was between .686 and .910. Standardized factor loadings ranged from 0.34 to 0.83 in the component analysis. The perceived susceptibility construct had weak positive correlations with all constructs being measured. There were positive correlations between past experience and perceived benefits, (r = .484; P =
