Medical histories, pharmacy

Such an approach should include an initial comprehensive medical history and physical examination, firm documentation that nonopioid therapy has failed, clearly defined treatment goals, an understanding between the provider and the patient of the true benefits and pitfalls of long-term opioids, use of a single provider and pharmacy whenever possible, and comprehensive follow-up. [Pg.888]

Patient data collection is an extremely critical component of a value-added service. The information collected provides pharmacists with important baseline and monitoring parameters for patients. The amount and type of information needed from the patient or other health care providers may differ depending on the service, but nonetheless, this information is the foundation on which the other components of the service are built. Forms can be developed to help pharmacists collect this information (see Figs. 25-2 through 25-4). In addition, some consideration should be given to how this information will be stored (e.g., paper charts or electronic patient database). The information that should be collected from the patient includes demographic information, medical history, family history, and medication history. Since some of the information may need to be collected from other providers and health care institutions, an authorization to release medical information should be signed by the patient and kept as part of the chart (see Fig. 25-5). Lastly, pharmacists should ensure that their site is in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and reinforce to their patients that the information they provide is confidential and secure at the pharmacy. [Pg.432]

After performing a SWOT analysis and some baseline market research, Carol and the other pharmacists at Care-Rite Pharmacy have decided to develop a Pharmacy Check-up Service (MTM). One of Carol s pharmacists volunteered to put together a prototype patient chart that will be used by the pharmacists to document their activities. The patient chart contains several forms, including a patient history form that requests some basic demographic information (see Fig. 25-2), medical and medication histories forms (see Figs. 25-3 and 25-4), and an authorization to release medical information that is signed and dated by the patient (see Fig. 25-5). Also, a communication form was created to fax clinical information and pharmacists recommendations to the physician (Fig. 25-6). [Pg.438]

His present medical history includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and urinary incontinence. The pharmacy Patient Medication Record (PMR) includes latanoprost drops for glaucoma which was dispensed six months ago. [Pg.281]

When assessing a patient who wants to begin an herbal supplement, both past medical history as well as concurrent conventional medication used should be taken into account for potential interactions, as discussed before. Patients should be counseled to inform the pharmacist of all medications being taken, both conventional and otherwise. They should be told that herbals may be helpful or harmful and that limited efficacy data are usually available that is done in a controlled, scientific manner. If the pharmacy practitioner feels that the supplement is safe to be taken by the patient, then several counseling points should be stressed to maximize the potential of taking a quality supplement product. Multi-ingredient products should generally be avoided unless the patient is under the care of an herbalist. Labels should list both the common and Latin names, as well as the name and address of the manufacturer. It is likely better to purchase a... [Pg.76]

The third major section of the guidelines is the classification of clinical pharmacy services as a number of discrete activities. A goal for each activity is stated and then a recommended procedure outlines the major generic components of the activity. The activities were presented in an order that is somewhat reflective of the provision of these services. The Standard provides direction on which activities should be performed routinely. This is reflected in statements relating to medication history interview, the monitoring of drug therapy, and the provision of medication counseling. [Pg.171]

CB s asthma is currently being treated with a low-dose of the inhaled corticosteroid beclomethasone dipropionate (QVAR, 40 pg b.i.d.). She is in your pharmacy now with prescriptions for both chronic medications written by her new provider. After taking her medical history and reviewing her psychosocial situation, you recognize that she has many risk factors for near-fatal asthma" and believe she should have ready access to rescue therapy in case she experiences an acute episode of severe bronchoconstriction. Consider the structures of the adrenergic agents drawn below, and prepare to make a therapeutic recommendation to CB s new physician. [Pg.591]

Thermotropic liquid crystals hold a dominant position in the field of the LCD however, researchers have also to pay attention to another type of liquid crystals, lyotropic liquid crystals, fi om the aspect of the life science field. Essential properties of cell membranes originate from their liquid crystalline behavior. The point of view of biophysics exists in the liquid crystal discovery time inferred from the monograph of Otto Lehmaim titled The liquid crystal and life flieory . In the experimental research of material science, the development of science cannot be expected without collaboration with a physicist, a physical chemist, and a synthetic chemist, as showing the history of research not only as that of liquid crystals but also of macromolecules and colloid science, among others. Because a considerable portion of a living organism (cell membrane, skin structure, etc.) is composed of liquid crystalline states, participation of researchers from many different fields is necessary for the bio-matter liquid crystal. I would hope to see the development of medical science, pharmacy, and foods by the full utilization of the potential of liquid crystal materials. [Pg.2]

In many developing countries of the world, there is still a major reliance on crude drug preparation of plants used in traditional medicines for their primary health care. Pharmacognosists employed in the different institutions are aware of the changing trends of herbal medications and a number of useful texts on the analysis, uses, and potential toxicities of herbal remedies have appeared recently, which serves as useful guides in pharmacy practice. The history of medicine includes many ludicrous therapies. Nevertheless, ancient wisdom has been the basis of modem medicine and will remain as one important source of future medicine and therapeutics. The future of natural products drug discovery will be more holistic, personahzed and involve the wise use of ancient and modem therapeutic skills in a complementary manner so that maximum benefits can be accmed to the patients and the community. [Pg.7]

In advising Mr AP on reducing the risk of this it would be important to enquire as to what other medications he is currently on, in order to identify any other constipating drugs. This information could be supported by checking the pharmacy electronic computer records for his drug history. [Pg.186]
