Understanding pharmacist success in practice: A scoping review
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : Japha
|October 4, 2016
Summary
This study identified characteristics for pharmacists to succeed in advanced patient care. Key themes include what successful pharmacists do and what they should be, guiding future practice and professional development.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Practice
- Health Services Research
- Professional Development
Background:
- Professional organizations advocate for expanded pharmacist roles in advanced patient care.
- A clearer understanding of individual-level success factors is needed for pharmacists to effectively provide advanced patient care.
- This requires considering both individual and environmental influences on pharmacist performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify literature describing characteristics contributing to individual pharmacist success in advanced patient care.
- To synthesize existing knowledge on pharmacist attributes essential for enhanced patient services.
Main Methods:
- An interpretive scoping review was conducted.
- Searches were performed in Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts.
- Content analysis of 10 included articles identified key themes related to pharmacist success.
Main Results:
- Ten articles met inclusion criteria from an initial search of 93.
- Content analysis revealed two main themes: "what successful pharmacists do" and "what successful pharmacists should be."
- Most included articles were from the United States, utilizing diverse methodologies including interviews, surveys, and commentaries.
Conclusions:
- Achieving individual-level success in advanced patient care requires a practical understanding of contributing factors.
- The identified themes provide a foundation for developing targeted strategies to support pharmacists.
- Further research should explore individual and environmental factors influencing pharmacist success in advanced patient care.

01:28Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview
4.9K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

01:19Pharmacovigilance
1.9K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

01:26Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios
53
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

01:12Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

01:20Measurement of Bioavailability: Pharmacodynamic Methods
937
Pharmacodynamic methods provide insights into a drug's effects on physiological processes over time and play a crucial role in understanding bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. These methods can be broadly classified into acute pharmacological and therapeutic response approaches, each with distinct mechanisms and applications.The acute pharmacological response method directly correlates a drug's physiological effects, such as ECG or pupil diameter changes, to its time course in the body.

01:01Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters
246
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...
