Study Notes
Pharmacist Patient Care Process (PPCP) and Documentation
- PPCP was developed by the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners (JCPP) and approved in May 2014.
- Aims to ensure optimal health outcomes through pharmacists as key providers in patient-centered, team-based healthcare.
Goals of PPCP
- Promote consistency and reliability across the pharmacy profession.
- Provide a versatile framework for delivering patient care across various healthcare settings.
- Encourage a comprehensive, contemporary approach to patient-centered care in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
- Support diverse patient care services, particularly medication management.
Foundational Components of PPCP
- Effective communication and engagement with patients, families, and caregivers is essential.
- Continuous collaboration, documentation, and communication with healthcare providers enhance care delivery.
- Information technology systems facilitate efficient communication and documentation.
Steps of PPCP
-
Collect: Gather subjective (from the patient or family) and objective (from medical records and professionals) information.
-
Assess: Evaluate the clinical effects, drug efficacy, side effects, appropriateness of therapy, drug interactions, adherence, and various patient-specific factors like culture and finances.
-
Plan: Develop an evidence-based, cost-effective action plan that addresses medication-related problems and optimizes therapy while setting clear therapy goals regarding potential drug therapy problems (DTPs).
-
Implement: Execute the plan by addressing medication-related issues, initiating or modifying treatments, providing education, and coordinating with other healthcare professionals.
-
Follow-Up: Monitor and evaluate the patient's response to therapy, ensuring appropriateness, effectiveness, and safety of drug therapy, as well as patient adherence.
Importance of Documentation
- Proper documentation is crucial; "If something is NOT documented, it has never been done."
- Failure to document can lead to breaches in standard care practices within the legal system.
- Helps communicate essential clinical decisions and actions among healthcare providers.
- Aids in risk management, reduces liability, and ensures appropriate reimbursement for services provided.
