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 Conflict of Interest in Medical Research Education and Practice written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborations of physicians and researchers with industry can provide valuable benefits to society, particularly in the translation of basic scientific discoveries to new therapies and products. Recent reports and news stories have, however, documented disturbing examples of relationships and practices that put at risk the integrity of medical research, the objectivity of professional education, the quality of patient care, the soundness of clinical practice guidelines, and the public's trust in medicine. Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice provides a comprehensive look at conflict of interest in medicine. It offers principles to inform the design of policies to identify, limit, and manage conflicts of interest without damaging constructive collaboration with industry. It calls for both short-term actions and long-term commitments by institutions and individuals, including leaders of academic medical centers, professional societies, patient advocacy groups, government agencies, and drug, device, and pharmaceutical companies. Failure of the medical community to take convincing action on conflicts of interest invites additional legislative or regulatory measures that may be overly broad or unduly burdensome. Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice makes several recommendations for strengthening conflict of interest policies and curbing relationships that create risks with little benefit. The book will serve as an invaluable resource for individuals and organizations committed to high ethical standards in all realms of medicine.

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.

Download or read book Case Studies in Pharmacy Ethics written by Robert Veatch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacists face ethical choices constantly -- sometimes dramatic life-and-death decisions, but more often subtle, less conspicuous choices that are nonetheless important. Among the topics confronted are assisted suicide, conscientious refusal, pain management, equitable distribution of drug resources within institutions and managed care plans, confidentiality, and alternative and non-traditional therapies. Veatch and Haddad's book, first published in 1999, was the first collection of case studies based on the real experiences of practicing pharmacists, for use as a teaching tool for pharmacy students. The second edition accounts for the many changes in pharmacy since 1999, including assisted suicide in Oregon, the purchasing of less expensive drugs from Canada, and the influence of managed care on prescriptions. The presentation of some cases is shortened, most are revised and updated, and two new chapters have been added. The first new chapter presents a new model for analyzing cases, while the second focuses on the ethics of new drug distribution systems, for example hospitals where pharmacists are forced to choose drugs based on cost-effectiveness, and internet based pharmacies.

Download or read book To Err Is Human written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine
