How to Implement the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process cover

In pharmacy, there is enormous variability in the approach to and delivery of

  • patient care by pharmacists. In contrast, other health care fields have uniformly
  • educated their respective professionals on a consistent, systematic process of
  • care.

    This publication introduces the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process, which was
  • adopted in May 2014 by the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners
  • (JCPP), a group of 11 national pharmacy organizations. The goal is to help
  • pharmacists understand the components of the standard patient care process
  • and apply the process to patients in all pharmacy practice settings.

    Six sample case studies set in different patient care settings enable the reader
  • to practice applying the patient care process. Additional activities enable
  • pharmacists to evaluate existing patient care services, develop strategies for
  • continuous quality improvement, and create an implementation plan for their
  • practice.

    Key Feature:
    • A thorough, yet concise, introduction to the Pharmacists’ Patient Care
    • Process, which JCPP developed and adopted in May 2014
    • A detailed explanation of each of the steps in the process (collect, assess, plan, implement, follow up)
    • Designed as a workbook for use by pharmacists in all practice settings and by pharmacy school instructors as part of their college’s curriculum
    • 6 real-world case studies set in different patient care settings that help the reader practice using the patient care process
    • Exercises that help the user implement strategies for applying the patient care process to existing patient care services
    • Appendices that include case study answer keys and a reprint of the JCPP Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process
