Abstract:
In the midst of society's debate and focus on patient care and outcome, healthcare providers must articulate their strategic positioning to be part of the collective societal drive. Pharmacy as an integral component of healthcare provided, must also take the opportunity to create its own agenda for change. This agenda revolves around pharmacists agreeing on aspects of pharmaceutical care for which they are legally and ethically responsible. Pharmacists must also strive to gain social and cultural authority for those aspects for which the profession has accepted responsibility. Pharmacist action is needed to ensure appropriate drug therapy to the public.
