Abstract:
As the separation of dispensary from medical practices has developed over the last 20 years, pharmacies have changed their function accordingly. Pharmacies are now actively participating in medical care, covered by insurance, by preparing medicines for out patients. Also, pharmacists play a integral role in the collaborative approach to health care of home care patients by promoting the proper use of medicines. As pharmacies became the personal pharmacy for local residents, pharmacies which dispense drugs were authorized as medical facilities from 2006. Thus, pharmacies are now facing a new era, in which their role to offer medical products is clear, and that since the collaborative approach by a multidiscipline medical group is now being promoted in local healthcare, the ability to dispense clinical judgment and the capability to cooperate with other professionals from different health care fields is required.
