Study Notes
Patient Care Process (PPCP)
- PPCP is a consistent and comprehensive process for patient care, applicable to any practice setting.
- Pharmacists collect necessary subjective and objective information through patient interviews, medical/pharmacy records, direct observation, and objective assessments (like lab results, physical assessments, etc.).
- The process includes medication assessment, patient history and risk assessment, and preventative care assessment.
Medication Assessment
- Assess each medication for appropriateness, effectiveness, safety, and patient adherence.
- Consider factors like health data, cultural factors, health literacy, and access to medications.
- Categorize assessments into three groups: medication assessment, patient history and risk assessment, and preventative care assessment.
- Possible issues include unnecessary drug therapy, needing additional therapy, ineffective drug, too low/high dosage, adverse drug reactions, and adherence issues.
Patient History and Risk Assessment
- Assess patient health and functional status, and identify risk factors and cultural factors.
- Evaluate patient access to medications and other aspects of care.
- Assess health literacy for the patient.
Preventative Care Assessment
- Evaluate preventative care progression of certain diseases, and continuous revisiting to the pharmacy for self-care treatment.
Exclusion for Self-Treatment
- Pharmacists should assess when self-treatment is inappropriate for a particular disorder or problem.
- This includes assessment of symptom characteristics, other disorder factors, or patient-specific factors precluding treatment with nonprescription medications.
Goals of Therapy
- The pharmacist establishes patient-centered goals of therapy, including factors like what the patient wants to achieve with the medication, achieving goals with the therapy, and timeframes.
- Goals should include both practitioner and patient contributions.
Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate
- Steps involved include implementing care plans, monitoring effectiveness, and evaluating results (medication appropriateness, effectiveness, safety, and adherence).
- Modifying the plan in collaboration with health care professionals and the patient is needed where necessary.
- Follow-up plans should address the goal of therapy and advise patients on what to do next.
Special Populations
- Patients with special needs, like pediatric, geriatric, pregnancy, need special considerations.
- Consequences related to OTC medications may vary in different populations.
Pregnant Patients
- Special considerations for pregnant patients include evaluating the safety of the medication, determining whether pregnancy status is an exclusion for self-treatment, and discouraging homeopathic and herbal remedies.
Geriatric Patients
- Geriatric patients consume a large number of prescription and nonprescription medications; therefore, pharmacist should be mindful of that.
- Collect, assess, plan/implement, and monitor/evaluate appropriately for that particular group.
