Study Notes

Pharmacist's Workup of Drug Therapy (PWDT)

  • The PWDT is a systematic process used for creating a pharmacotherapy care plan.

Data Collection

  • Gather and interpret patient information including:
    • Demographics: age, sex, race
    • Medical history: current and past medical conditions
    • Family history
    • Social history
    • Dietary history
    • Medication history: prescribed, over-the-counter, social drugs, allergies
    • Physical findings: weight, height, blood pressure, edema

SOAP Note

  • A SOAP note is a structured method for documenting patient care.
    • Stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan

CORE Pharmacotherapy Plan

  • This plan outlines the desired outcome for a patient's condition and how to achieve it.
    • C - Condition or patient need
    • O - Outcomes desired
    • R - Regimen selected
    • E - Evaluation parameters

PRIME Pharmacotherapy Problems

  • Identifies actual or potential problems impacting desired patient outcomes.
    • P - Pharmaceutical problems (Dose, route, duration, form, frequency, timing)
    • R - Risks to the patient (Contraindications, allergies, drug-induced problems, misuse, adverse effects, medication errors)
    • I - Interactions (Drug-drug, drug-food, drug-disease)
    • M - Mismatch (Medication without indication, untreated condition)
    • E - Efficacy issues (Suboptimal therapy, lack of effectiveness, inadequate utilization, patient preference, medication availability, compliance, administration issues)

FARM Note

  • FARM notes are used to document pharmacist interventions.
    • F - Findings: Patient-specific information leading to a pharmacotherapy problem
    • A - Assessment: Pharmacist's evaluation of findings, including additional information needed for recommendations
    • R - Resolution (including prevention): The intervention plan, which may include observation, counseling, recommendations, informing the prescriber, withholding medication
    • M - Monitoring and follow-up: Parameters, timing, and frequency of monitoring to assess efficacy, safety, and outcome of the intervention.

Conclusion

  • FARM/SOAP notes are crucial tools for pharmacists to efficiently access patient records and provide pharmaceutical care.
