This book was released on 2013 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern society, chronic diseases have become the leading causes of death. With early recognition and proper management, however, many of the complications from chronic diseases could be prevented or delayed. Taking such a proactive approach in managing a population often requires the use of team-based approaches and delegation of certain clinical and nonclinical tasks to nonphysician team members. This three-study dissertation used a combination of methods to explore contextual factors that influence primary care teamwork and physician-pharmacist collaboration. The first study quantitatively examined baseline barriers and facilitators of physician-pharmacist collaboration in clinics participating in the Collaboration Among Pharmacists and Physicians To Improve Outcomes Now (CAPTION) Trial. Pharmacist expertise and clinic staff support were found to be the most important facilitators for physicians, while insurance reimbursement and task design factors were important for pharmacists. The second study characterized clinic personnel experience participating in the CAPTION trial and explored determinants of disease state control. Higher proportions of indigent and minority populations and higher baseline pharmacy structure scores were found to be associated with lower blood pressure control. The third study qualitatively examined organizational influences on primary care team effectiveness and the roles of pharmacists in a separate sample of primary care clinics. A lack of organizational rewards for teamwork in primary care was identified and pharmacists were integrated into clinic workflow in various degrees. These findings will be informative for practice managers and health care professionals seeking to redesign their practice to meet increasing needs of patients with chronic diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH This book forms part of a series entitled Promoting Partnership for Health publishedin association with the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series explores partnership for health from policy, practice and educational perspectives. Whilst strongly advocating the imperative driving collaboration in healthcare, it adopts a pragmatic approach. Far from accepting established ideas and approaches, the series alerts readers to the pitfalls and ways to avoid them. DESCRIPTION Interprofessional Teamwork for Health and Social Care is an invaluable guide for clinicians, academics, managers and policymakers who need to understand, implement and evaluate interprofessional teamwork. It will give them a fuller understanding of how teams function, of the issues relating to the evaluation of teamwork, and of approaches to creating and implementing interventions (e.g. team training, quality improvement initiatives) within health and social care settings. It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork. The book also provides a range of resources for designing, implementing and evaluating interprofessional teamwork activities.

Download or read book Physician Collaboration with Pharmacists on Drug Therapy Management written by Nedzad Pojskic and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacist-physician collaboration has been shown to improve the safety and cost-effectiveness of drug therapy, however, it occurs relatively infrequently in the community setting, with respect to drug therapy management. This book provides information regarding family physician attitudes towards and readiness to collaborate with community pharmacists on drug therapy management. We developed a survey instrument utilizing the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour Change, and administered it to a random sample of 848 family physicians in Ontario, Canada. We found that collaborative relationships between pharmacists and physicians were generally underdeveloped. System-related barriers, including pharmacists' lack of patient information, were highlighted by physicians as particularly problematic for collaborative relationship development. Our analysis sheds light on the predictors of physician readiness to collaborate with pharmacists, and provide direction for policy makers and health professionals interested in developing collaborative working relationship with physicians.
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.

Download or read book Communicating Health Information in Primary Care written by Kathryn Mercer and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has yet to clearly define how health care professionals' (HCPs) use and sharing of information influences how health decisions are made, both independently and collaboratively. Similarly, the manner in which patients use, interact with, and find health information is not fully, and how external influencers impact patient decision-making about health. The overall goal of this thesis is to examine how and what information is being shared among patients, pharmacists, and physicians and how this information is used in decision making. Using a variety of methodologies, this research examined five areas of communication and decision-making: 1) How patients, pharmacists, and physicians currently make decisions as a healthcare team; how this information influences shared decision-making about patients' medications and health; and how this process can be improved through the use of electronic health records (EHRs); 2) How information is communicated among HCPs and between HCPs and patients; 3) What information patients seek out, collect and communicate to their HCPs; 4) How relationships influence professional collaboration and communication in healthcare; and 5) The scope of existing knowledge around including the reason for use on a prescription and how that influences the ways in which pharmacists make decisions. This thesis consists of four papers that describe two studies. Three of the papers use data from a qualitative examination of ethnographic observations and structured or semi-structured interview methods to examine: 1) patients' medication decision-making with their pharmacists and physicians; 2) pharmacist and physician medication decision-making; and 3) how relationships between pharmacists and physicians influence collaboration. The final paper is a scoping review of the literature that characterizes the current body of research on how including the reason for use on a prescription impacts pharmacist decision making. The first study examines how patients make decisions with their health care team, how information influences decision-making and how the process can be improved through EHRs. It revealed that different people play different roles when it comes to helping patients make decisions. The first of three papers emerging from the first study determined that while EHRs can support decision-making, more research is needed to further clarify perceptions of role and how to develop EHRs that are adaptive to varying user information needs. The second paper focuses on physician-pharmacists medication decision-making and examined how physician and pharmacist relationships influence collaboration and communication. It concluded that there is limited communication and collaboration between physicians and pharmacists around managing medications. Further, this research saw an emerging result about how relationships influence how and when collaboration and communication occur, resulting in the third paper which examined the relationships more closely. The fourth paper emerged from the need to better understand the current scope of research about including reason for use on a prescription that is sent to a pharmacist--an emerging area of interest from the original study. Taken together, the chapters provide an emerging picture of how and what information is and should be communicated in healthcare and the factors that influence how information is shared. The findings reveal important common elements that have yet to be fully explored when it comes to information sharing, and these ultimately influence decision-making in health. The findings describe a complex environment of differing information needs among pharmacists, physicians, and patients and emphasize the importance of understanding specific knowledge that must be communicated. Future research should be designed to accommodate a robust multidisciplinary approach that allows us to examine how sharing and communicating health information changes as the influence of technology and the number of stakeholders involved in care increases. Future research should focus on helping HCPs develop multidisciplinary strategies for collaboration and information sharing, based on a shared understanding of each other's roles, priorities, and values.
