Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Pharmacists are an integral member of the palliative care team. Thorough symptom assessment and medication management is essential to quality palliative care. We describe an educational exchange between a pharmacist in the US and a pharmacist in the UK through ties with their respective national professional societies. Funding was obtained through a combination of grants and educational scholarships.Methods: The US based pharmacist spent 1 week observing palliative care pharmacist practices in the UK including inpatient hospice, inpatient academic palliative care unit and palliative care consult service. Key observations of similarities and differences of palliative care pharmacy practice were recorded and discussed.Results: Observations were categorized into 2 primary categories and used to identify opportunities for future educational and research endeavors. Categories: Team structure and function (role of the pharmacist, disciplines on team); and medication utilization (medications not available in US/UK, place in therapy differences; route of administration differences). The visiting pharmacist shared observations with the host palliative care team to further educational dialogue.Conclusions: The second exchange is planned for June 2019 in which the UK based palliative care pharmacist will visit the US practice including hospice, outpatient palliative care clinic, inpatient palliative care unit and inpatient palliative care consult service. Several educational projects are also under development as a result of this rich informative exchange program including medication utilization surveys of pharmacists in the US and UK to quantify the observations made during educational exchange.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Download or read book The Role of the Pharmacist in Patient Care written by Abdul Kader Mohiuddin and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of a high quality, cost-effective and accessible health care for patients is achieved through constructing a team-based and patient-centered health care delivery system. The expanded role of pharmacists uplifts them to patient care from dispensing and manufacturing or marketing of drugs. Along with doctors and allied health professionals, pharmacists are increasingly recognized as an integral part of the patient care team. Furthermore, colleges of pharmacy need to revise and up-date their curricula to accommodate the progressively increasing development in the pharmaceutical education and the evolving new roles of practicing pharmacists in patient care settings. This book focuses on the expanded role of the pharmacists in total patient care including prescribing, dispensing, compounding, administering and monitoring of drugs at home, hospital, community, hospice, critical care, changeover and other care settings. The sector is emerging in both developed and under-developed countries. Overburdened by patient loads and the explosion of new drugs physicians turned to pharmacists more and more for drug information especially within institutional settings. And today’s patient care pharmacists are taking more interests in medication review and reconciliation, patient education and counseling, creating drug therapy regimen and monitoring compliance. The purpose of this book is to guide the pharmacists in their daily interactions with patients and to ensure collaboration with other health professionals. The contents are mostly based on recently published articles related to patient care, with most recent ideas and activities followed by the patient care pharmacists around the globe. However, a pharmacist implements the care plan in collaboration with other health care professionals and the patient or caregiver. Along with professional guidelines, the book discusses the concepts and best practices of patient interaction, patient rights, and ethical decision-making for the professional pharmacist, apprentice and student. In every chapter, the role of pharmacists in that chapter specific issues are detailed explicitly so that a professional pharmacist or a student can figure out his or her do’s and don’ts in that specific situation. Moreover, further reading references are listed as future recommendations. So, the book is an archive of potential references too. Among so many books about patient care, either doctors’ or nurses’ roles are highlighted. The proposed book highlights the pharmacists’ roles and responsibilities to the most, separated from those of doctors and nurses, with the most recent information obtained from most publications in several journals, books, bulletins, newsletter, magazines etc.
