Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Three-Compartment Open Model01:06

Three-Compartment Open Model

616
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.4K
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.
In some cases, there...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.7K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Global Health

Background:

  • The global healthcare landscape is evolving, necessitating continuous learning for pharmacists.
  • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) models drive lifelong learning and competence in developed nations.
  • Optimizing patient care requires pharmacists to adapt and enhance their skills through ongoing education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presence and comprehension of CPD for pharmacists in Ghana, Pakistan, and Trinidad and Tobago.
  • To identify barriers hindering the development of effective CPD models in these regions.
  • To propose policy recommendations for establishing or improving CPD frameworks.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with key pharmacy stakeholders.
  • Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and subjected to thematic analysis.
  • Participants included academics, community pharmacists, and regulatory professionals.

Main Results:

  • A CPD framework is in the process of being established for pharmacists in Ghana.
  • No formal CPD model currently exists for pharmacists in Pakistan, Trinidad, and Tobago.
  • Stakeholder interviews revealed varying levels of understanding and engagement with CPD concepts.

Conclusions:

  • The findings underscore the urgent need for implementing realistic and relevant CPD programs.
  • Mandatory CPD is crucial for advancing pharmacy practice and patient outcomes in the studied countries.
  • Policy interventions are required to support the successful integration of CPD.
