Description: After years of research and politicking, Robert Cipolle and some other pharmacy leaders have successfully introduced a new practice paradigm, moving the profession of pharmacy from one involved with simply the dispensing of drugs to one involving the management of a patient's drug therapy needs. More than ever before, the pharmacist will be responsible for a patient's drug therapy assessment, understanding of their history, development of a care plan, achievement of therapeutic goals and scheduling of follow-up evaluations. A true, ground breaking book, this title helps focus the pharmacists's attitude, behaviors, commitments, concerns, ethics, functions, knowledge, responsibilities and skills on the provision of drug therapy with the goal of achieving definite outcomes toward the improvement of a patient's quality of life. It will serve the needs of the student as a core introductory textbook and can also be used by the practicing pharmacists to update their clinical skills.
