What if your cell phone could detect cancer cells circulating in your blood or warn you of an imminent heart attack? Mobile wireless digital devices, including smartphones and tablets with seemingly limitless functionality, have brought about radical changes in our lives, providing hyper-connectivity to social networks and cloud computing. But the digital world has hardly pierced the medical cocoon. Until now. Beyond reading email and surfing the Web, we will soon be checking our vital signs on our phone. We can already continuously monitor our heart rhythm, blood glucose levels, and brain waves while we sleep. Miniature ultrasound imaging devices are replacing the icon of medicine--the stethoscope. DNA sequencing, Facebook, and the Watson supercomputer have already saved lives. For the first time we can capture all the relevant data from each individual to enable precision therapy, prevent major side effects of medications, and ultimately to prevent many diseases from ever occurring. And yet many of these digital medical innovations lie unused because of the medical community's profound resistance to change. In The Creative Destruction of Medicine, Eric Topol--one of the nation's top physicians and a leading voice on the digital revolution in medicine--argues that radical innovation and a true democratization of medical care are within reach, but only if we consumers demand it. We can force medicine to undergo its biggest shakeup in history. This book shows us the stakes--and how to win them.

Pharmacy is the nation's third largest health profession, with nearly 200,000 licensed pharmacists in the United States and 125,000 practicing in community pharmacies. It is in community settings where pharmaceutical care will be judged, accepted, and ultimately paid for. Pharmaceutical Care: Insights from Community Pharmacists introduces the conceptual framework for pharmaceutical care. The authors show you 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, bringing you the insights of selected pharmacists who were among the first to develop pharmaceutical care services. The pharmacists you meet in this book are committed to providing the best patient care possible and are willing to expend considerable personal time and energy to achieve this goal. Through their interviews, you will follow the pharmacists down their path of passionate commitment to helping patients. The authors also outline a seven-step process demonstrating how these professionals built innovative pharmacy practices in community settings. Pharmaceutical Care is a motivating resource for those wishing to better understand the new patient-centered roles being advocated by pharmacy leaders.

Through the contributions of over 30 global experts, this book meets the growing need to understand the development and implementation of pharmaceutical care. This guide to pharmaceutical Care implementation details the pharmacist's role in providing a broad array of care to various kinds of patients, using strategies that improve humanistic, economic and clinical outcomes. Written with a focus for students, pharmacists and researchers, this book offers multiple scenarios to advance the care of patients. It will enhance the knowledge and skills of the providers. The examples describe the details of the structured processes from pharmacists and researchers who have worked in these fields for many years: detecting drug-related problems, providing pharmaceutical care in different settings (community, nursing homes, hospitals and clinics), evaluating research-indicators and outcomes, and teaching at universities and colleges. Readers will use this book to: Improve their skills to prevent, detect and solve drug-related problems Develop and improve communication skills to establish useful relationships with patients and healthcare professionals. Understand the characteristics of (pharmaceutical) care for patients in different settings Use different tools to showcase pharmaceutical care services Learn the role of standards, guidelines, protocols and indicators to guide and evaluate pharmaceutical care Understand the importance of the documentation of pharmaceutical care practices and create evidence and opportunities for remuneration Consolidate knowledge from different global studies and research outcomes.

Health Outcomes and Pharmaceutical Care addresses the challenges of and opportunities for pharmacists to become more involved in outcomes management by becoming proactive in evaluating the effectiveness of pharmaceutical care for patients. Because many pharmacy services have the potential to improve patient outcomes and limit total costs, outcomes research can be directed toward evaluating patient care that results from pharmacists’interventions and from new clinical programs. Especially useful as a text, this book prepares today's pharmacy student to become outcome-oriented and to provide more efficient and effective pharmaceutical care. Health Outcomes and Pharmaceutical Care shows you how outcomes management works--optimal patient utilization of health care resources is achieved, adverse outcomes are decreased, and costs are contained. Other important aspects of the outcomes system you'll examine in this book include: differences between outcomes research and traditional clinical research outcomes measurements patient-based assessments emerging state and national programs monitoring of therapeutic outcomes analysis of cost-effectiveness This book, a collection from the Proceedings of the 40th Annual Ohio Pharmaceutical Seminar, shows you the prominent role you can play in the assessment of the effects of pharmaceutical products on patient outcomes and total health care costs. In addition, you'll be motivated to become proactive in evaluating the quality and value of pharmaceutical care so that appropriately valued cognitive activities will be incorporated in the future scheme for health care provision.

Focuses on the management decisions and processes needed to successfully implement a pharmaceutical care practice in both community and hospital pharmacy settings. This step-by-step guide integrates a patient care focus into its contents, and addresses the non-clinical aspects of practice into pharmaceutical care management. Developed by academics and practitioners from the United States, Canada, and Australia, the book provides practical advice on gearing up for pharmaceutical care, including evaluating customers' needs, business planning, automation, financial systems, and cost containment. -- Distributed by Syndetics Solutions, LLC.
