Study Notes
- Pharmacy plays a significant role in patient care through various ways: managing prescribed medicines, chronic conditions, common ailments, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
- Management of prescribed medicines includes drug development, dispensing, and counselling.
- Pharmacist's interventions in the healthcare system ensure rational use of medicines and effective disease management.
- Identifying patients with specific needs is crucial to offer customized pharmacy services, considering factors such as access to facilities, compliance aids, social behavior, and drug treatment.
- Special patient groups, such as those suffering from acute myocardial infarction, chronic pain, mental health problems, learning difficulties, and extremes of age, require tailored care.
- Cost-effective patient care is an essential aspect of pharmacy practice, involving the consideration of pharmacoeconomic aspects, such as value for money and cost-effectiveness.
- Quality assurance and improvement processes are necessary for maintaining adequate standards in pharmacy practice, including total quality management (TQM) and continuous quality improvement (CQI).
- TQM defines measures of quality, analyzes processes, identifies improvement actions, and assesses outcomes through diagnostic results, medical records, patient satisfaction, and periodic reviews.
- Implementing outcomes management may face challenges, including time-consuming compilation of data and resistance from health professionals.
