Pharmaceutical Care

Pharmaceutical Care: Insights from Community Pharmacists introduces the conceptual framework for pharmaceutical care and shows how to apply economic, business, and societal models to better understand it, and they look at the trends in healthcare that drive it. Vignettes and interviews are the real strength of this book, delivering the insights of the pharmacists who were among the first to develop pharmaceutical care services. The authors also outline a seven-step process demonstrating how these professionals built innovative pharmacy practices in community settings. This is a motivating resource for those wishing to better understand the new patient-centered roles advocated by pharmacy leaders.
