  • Title: Improving patient-oriented pharmacy services: what the individual pharmacist can do.
    Author: Rehder TL.
    Journal: Am J Hosp Pharm; 1985 Sep; 42(9):1947-9. PubMed ID: 4050811.
    Abstract:
    How individual pharmacists can improve patient-oriented services is described. Pharmacists practicing on patient-care units should assess how they can, by meeting the needs of other health-care providers, contribute to better drug therapy. They should examine how changes in the drug distribution system can allow more flexibility for providing services on the patient-care unit. They should promote appropriate drug use by identifying problems and bringing these to the attention of the providers involved. Individual pharmacists can be assigned to patient-care units to coordinate drug therapy and patient education. They should document their activities. Individual pharmacists can take responsibility not only for their own actions but also for the actions of other health-care professionals associated with drug therapy.
