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 =

Download or read book Perceptions of Medical Students on Pharmacists Provided Counseling Services and Collaboration with Pharmacists Using the Theory of Planned Behavior written by Surbhi Shah and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, pharmacists' roles were centered around dispensing and compounding medications. With the changing roles and responsibilities of pharmacists in managing patients' medication therapy, an emphasis is being made on providing team based care to patients. Recent changes in legislation, improvements in regulatory standards, and developmental changes in reimbursement strategies have driven this change in the healthcare environment. Several interprofessional models of care have been implemented in various settings to effectively allocate resources and improve the access and continuity of care. The counseling services provided by pharmacists provide opportunities for patients, physicians, and pharmacists to work closely with each other. Physicians benefit from these services through improving patient safety and utilizing their time and expertise to see more patients. Pharmacists benefit by building relationships with physicians with the goal of making medication related recommendations to improve patients' drug therapy. Therefore, for the collaboration between pharmacists and physicians to be successful, interaction between them is important and begins at the educational level. With the focus being made on patient centered care, incorporating some educational sessions on the services that other healthcare providers provide or workshops on collaboration could be an important part in the curriculum of both medical and pharmacy schools. It could allow them to better understand each other's role and responsibilities, skills, and expertise. It could also improve their communication skills, trust, and confidence with each other. Therefore, the aim of our study was to understand the perceptions of medical students on pharmacist-provided counseling services and towards collaboration. A modified Theory of Planned Behavior was used to assess awareness, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and intention of the first and second year medical students at the University of Toledo. The study consisted of developing a valid and reliable survey, which was sent to a total of 370 first and second year medical students from the University of Toledo, College of Medicine. A total of 87 surveys were included in the analysis. It was found that our theory was beneficial in supporting the framework and all the constructs of the theory together predicted intention of medical students to collaborate with pharmacists. By evaluating their thoughts through various open-ended questions, we found that medical students were interested in learning about the counseling services and collaboration in their curriculum. Hence, our research demonstrates the need for some changes in their curriculum by incorporating some lectures and workshops to learn about the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists and to experience interprofessionalism in their courses and clinical experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans should be able to count on receiving health care that is safe. To achieve this, a new health care delivery system is needed â€" a system that both prevents errors from occurring, and learns from them when they do occur. The development of such a system requires a commitment by all stakeholders to a culture of safety and to the development of improved information systems for the delivery of health care. This national health information infrastructure is needed to provide immediate access to complete patient information and decision-support tools for clinicians and their patients. In addition, this infrastructure must capture patient safety information as a by-product of care and use this information to design even safer delivery systems. Health data standards are both a critical and time-sensitive building block of the national health information infrastructure. Building on the Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Patient Safety puts forward a road map for the development and adoption of key health care data standards to support both information exchange and the reporting and analysis of patient safety data.

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.

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.
