evidence based Pharmaceutical Care the next chapter in pharmacy practice
Journal of The Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2016Co-Authors: Osama M Alquteimat, Amer Mostafa AmerAbstract:Abstract Introduction Pharmacy is a very dynamic profession and the role of the pharmacist is improving with the expansion of the scope of services and the introduction of new subspecialties over time. Moving from being medication dispensers to outcome-oriented and patient-focused Care providers; pharmacists will carry more responsibility and commitment to improve their knowledge and practice. Being updated and evidence-based is a key tool to achieve effective Pharmaceutical Care services. The primary purpose of this article is to highlight the concept of “evidence based Pharmaceutical Care” as professional practice to improve the quality of Pharmaceutical Care. Methods Literature for relevant evidence was searched by Medline (through PubMed), Cochrane library using the keywords: Pharmaceutical Care, evidence-based and pharmacy practice. Also a manual search through major journals for articles referenced in those located through PubMed was done. Results and discussion There is strong data showing that Pharmaceutical Care lead to improvement in health outcomes and cost-effective therapy. More efforts, policies and qualified staff are needed to establish the “evidence-based Pharmaceutical Care” as new daily professional practice. Evidence to support pharmacists in their emerging role as Care providers is available to improve the efficacy and quality of Pharmaceutical Care. Education and specialized training practicing evidence based approach are vital to prepare pharmacists to provide high quality Pharmaceutical Care. Conclusion As Care providers, pharmacists are effective in providing high quality patient Care and being members in multidisciplinary clinical teams is needed to give them the opportunity. Evidence based Pharmaceutical Care is a natural and logical emerging concept in the modern pharmacy practice to achieve high quality and more effective Pharmaceutical Care but still more efforts and resources are needed to promote new attitude toward more professional Career.

The case for evidence-based Pharmaceutical Care.
Research in social & administrative pharmacy : RSAP, 2009Co-Authors: Salah AburuzAbstract:Pharmaceutical Care was defined by Hepler and Strand in the early 1990s as the responsible provision of drug-related Care for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improve patients’ quality of life. Since that time, Pharmaceutical Care has evolved and is currently being applied in many countries around the world. Medication therapy management represents some addition to the paradigm but is based mainly on the concept and principles of Pharmaceutical Care. Evidence-based medicine was introduced at approximately the same time as Pharmaceutical Care. Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the Care of individual patients. The practice of evidencebased medicine means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. Both concepts are currently well defined and implemented in many practice settings around the world. Any one who is expert in the field of clinical pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Care will find an important connection between the two concepts. In Pharmaceutical Care, as well as in medication therapy management, our major functions as practitioners are to identify, resolve, and prevent drug-related problems and to improve patients’ health-related quality of life. Traditionally, in Pharmaceutical Care, we identify drug-related problems by analyzing patient data and comparing patient treatment and doses with what we know from peer-reviewed literature and disease management guidelines.Wemay also use drug information resources, drug interactions software, and any other relevant resources.

An Innovative Pharmaceutical Care Practical Course
Advances in health sciences education : theory and practice, 2006Co-Authors: Nailya Bulatova, Salah Aburuz, Al-motassem YousefAbstract:The innovative practical course was developed to improve the students’ ability to acquire Pharmaceutical Care skills. The primary components of the course were in-school training using small group discussions and hospital experience including identification, analysis, prevention and resolution of drug-therapy problems, patient counseling on their medications and diseases, and interaction with medical team. Specific objectives of the research were to (1) compare students’ performance before and after the course, (2) measure students’ perceptions of their Pharmaceutical Care skills before and after the course, (3) determine students’ perception of the value of the course. Statistical comparison of pre-test and post-test grades indicated both a retention and acquiring Pharmaceutical Care skills. A pre-course and post-course survey instrument was designed to measure students’ perception of their Pharmaceutical Care skills. Perception of most of the items of the survey was significantly improved at the end of the course. Overall, the majority of students were highly satisfied with the course. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the innovative Pharmaceutical Care practical course was successfully introduced.

Pharmaceutical Care Programmes for the Elderly
PharmacoEconomics, 2003Co-Authors: Grainne E. Crealey, Ian K. Sturgess, James C. Mcelnay, Carmel M. HughesAbstract:Pharmaceutical Care is defined as the responsible provision of drug therapy for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improve a patient’s quality of life. It describes the process through which a pharmacist collaborates with a patient and with healthCare professionals in designing, implementing and monitoring a therapeutic plan that will produce specific, desirable therapeutic outcomes for the patient. The elderly are a patient population who could particularly benefit from Pharmaceutical Care provision as they are at greater risk of experiencing significant drug-related problems such as inappropriate prescribing, noncompliance with prescribed medication and adverse drug reactions/interactions leading to a decrease in health-related quality of life. The extent of economic benefit of Pharmaceutical Care reported in the literature is variable and its generalisability is suspect due to the lack of trials which have utilised a robust research design. The few studies which have undertaken a rigourous economic evaluation have used a range of data collection methods that is reflective of the difficulty of capturing essential data. Furthermore, even in well-designed studies, the generalisability of economic evaluations to other countries is questionable because of unique national data collection systems and an inability to pool international data because of disparities between different healthCare systems. The use of a suitable measure for health-related quality of life is also problematic in a very diverse and heterogeneous population such as the elderly and, therefore, adds to the difficulties of inclusion of such measures in economic analyses of Pharmaceutical Care programmes. A more standardised approach to data collection is required to facilitate economic analyses as an essential element in the evaluation of any Pharmaceutical Care programme for the elderly. Suggestions on such approaches, together with a critical appraisal of studies performed to date, are the focus of this review.
