COMMUNITY PHARMACY AND MANAGEMENT – CHAPTER -1................... (1).pptSumit Tiwari
This document discusses the history and development of community pharmacy practice in India. It begins by defining community pharmacy practice as any place supervised by a pharmacist where pharmacy services are provided to the public. It then discusses how the role of pharmacists has expanded from primarily dispensing medications to providing more direct patient care services. The document also outlines some issues with the profession in India such as a lack of job opportunities and salaries that are too low. It suggests reforms such as recognizing pharmacists as healthcare team members in primary care settings and improving pharmacy education standards.
Pharmacists in India play an important role in improving healthcare access and health outcomes. Currently there are around 10 lakh pharmacists in India working in various healthcare settings. Pharmacists can help overcome India's shortage of healthcare professionals by providing services like dispensing medicines accurately, counseling patients, aiding national health programs in tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, and improving access to care in rural communities. By utilizing pharmacists' expertise and expanding their roles, India can more effectively achieve its public health goals.
Patient information leaflets (PILs) contain specific information about medical conditions, doses, side effects that are packaged with medicines to inform users. PILs are the European equivalent of package inserts. Manufacturers are required to include a PIL but sometimes avoid the cost. The document then outlines the key sections that should be included in a PIL, such as identification of the medicine, therapeutic indications, dosage instructions, description of side effects, and additional information. It emphasizes using plain language, short sentences, and grouping side effects by seriousness to improve patient understanding of risks.
Patient counseling refers to providing patients information to help them appropriately use their medications. The goals of counseling include improving patient understanding of their illness and treatment, adherence to medications, and quality of life while reducing health care costs. Effective counseling requires strong communication skills and involves preparing, opening the session, discussing the medication counseling points, and closing by addressing patient questions and summarizing key points. Barriers to counseling can be patient-related, such as a language difference, or provider-related like a lack of counseling skills or time constraints. Overcoming these barriers is important to improve counseling.

The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) first adopted the guidelines for Good Pharmaceutical Practice in 1993. These guidelines were developed as a reference to be used by national pharmaceutical organisations, governments, and international pharmaceutical organizations to set up nationally accepted standards of Good Pharmacy Practice.
A revised version of this document was endorsed by WHO in 1997 and subsequently approved by the FIP Council in 1997.
In 2011, FIP and WHO adopted an updated version of Good Pharmacy Practice entitled "Joint FIP/WHO guidelines on good pharmacy practice: standards for quality of pharmacy services".
Full reference: Joint FIP/WHO guidelines on good pharmacy practice: standards for quality of pharmacy services. WHO Technical Report Series, No. 961, 2011. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2011.
In this document, the aim of pharmacy practice aim is defined as to "contribute to health improvement and to help patients with health problems to make the best use of their medicines."
GPP is defined as "the practice of pharmacy that responds to the needs of the people who use the pharmacists’ services to provide optimal, evidence-based care. To support this practice it is essential that there be an established national framework of quality standards and guidelines."
The 2011 GPP document underlines the requirements of Good Pharmacy Practice and how to set standards required for GPP, (which also imply a quality management framework and a strategic plan for developing services).
GPP are organised around 4 major roles for pharmacists
Role 1: Prepare, obtain, store, secure, distribute, administer, dispense and dispose of medical products
Role 2: Provide effective medication therapy management
Role 3: Maintain and improve professional performance
Role 4: Contribute to improve effectiveness of the health-care system and public health
Each function is structured in several roles, and for each role, a list of minimum national standards to be established have been set.
WHO/FIP GPP should serve as a guidance document for the development of specific standards of GPP at national levels by national pharmacists associations and other related stakeholders.
When establishing minimum standards on GPP, it is important to define the roles played by pharmacists, as expected
by patients and society. Secondly, relevant functions for which pharmacists have direct responsibility and accountability need to be determined within each role. Thirdly, minimum national standards should then be established, based upon the need to demonstrate competency in a set of activities supporting each function and role.

Patient information leaflets (PILs) are leaflets included with medicines that provide users with information about the product's medical conditions, doses, side effects, and safe and effective use. PILs are written by pharmaceutical companies and must be included with all licensed medicines. They should include essential information without being too long or having small text. Common language should be used to make the information understandable. PILs must be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect current medical knowledge. They provide identification of the medicine, therapeutic uses, precautions, administration instructions, what to do if a dose is missed, side effects, interactions, and storage information.
Community pharmacy management involves organizing all activities related to achieving the goals of a pharmacy business. It includes financial management to pay bills and ensure profitability, material management to coordinate inventory, and staff management. Infrastructure management covers selecting an appropriate store location and layout. Proper storage conditions must also be maintained for medications.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on pharmacy and therapeutic committees. It defines a pharmacy and therapeutic committee as a policy-making body that advises the medical staff and hospital administration on drug therapy issues. The objectives of such committees are to provide advisory, educational, and safe/rational drug use guidance. The composition of a PTC includes physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and administrators. Key functions of a PTC are developing and revising formularies, managing adverse drug reactions, promoting patient health, and regulating the hospital pharmacy inventory.
14ab1t0024 roles and responsibilities of hospital pharmacistRamesh Ganpisetti
Hospital pharmacists play several important roles in ensuring patients receive the most appropriate treatment. They advise patients and medical staff on all aspects of medications, including type, dosage, and administration method based on individual needs. Pharmacists can recommend the best form of medication such as tablets, injections, or inhalers. They are also seen as experts who can advise on safe drug combinations and solutions to specific patient problems. In addition, pharmacists monitor treatment effects to ensure safety, effectiveness, and appropriateness for each user.
The document discusses patient counseling, which involves providing information, advice, and assistance to help patients appropriately use their medications. The objectives of patient counseling are to improve patient understanding of their illness and medications, enhance medication adherence, and improve health outcomes. Effective counseling requires strong communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal. Barriers to counseling can include environmental factors, semantics, negative attitudes, and time constraints. The pharmacist's role is to counsel patients on medication names, uses, dosages, side effects and more to optimize treatment.
This document outlines the process of patient counseling conducted by pharmacists. It defines patient counseling as providing information to help patients use medications appropriately. The objectives of counseling are to develop a working relationship with patients, improve understanding of disease and medication, and avoid medication-related problems. The counseling process involves establishing rapport, assessing patient knowledge, providing information using visual aids, and verifying understanding. Pharmacists must have knowledge and communication skills while patients must be willing to adhere to treatment and report experiences. Counseling covers disease, medication, administration, side effects, and other topics. Pharmacists should document counseling in medical records according to policies.
Medication adherence is defined as a patient conforming to a healthcare provider's recommendations regarding timing, dosage, and frequency of medication. It involves filling prescriptions and refilling on time. Non-adherence can be caused by patient factors like forgetfulness or cost barriers, physician factors like complex regimens, and health system factors like fragmented care. Pharmacists can improve adherence through education on medication purpose, usage, and side effects. Adherence is especially important for chronic conditions and can be monitored through patient assessments.
1) The document discusses the Pharmacy Practice Regulations of 2015 in India, which governs the practice of pharmacy.
2) It defines the roles of pharmacy practitioners like community pharmacists, hospital pharmacists, and clinical pharmacists.
3) The regulations establish guidelines for good pharmacy practices, including requirements for patient counseling, maintaining patient records, and displaying the names of registered pharmacists.
Community pharmacy provides pharmaceutical care and serves the public's need for medicines. In India, community pharmacies are privately owned medicine shops that serve local communities. Community pharmacists play an important role in providing patients access to healthcare by managing their medication needs. They are regulated under the Pharmacy Act of 1948 and must maintain certain legal records. To run a pharmacy properly, pharmacists must select an appropriate site, design an effective layout, stock medicines correctly, hire qualified staff, and keep various financial and legal records.
Definition, scope , role and responsibilities of community pharmacyDr. Supriya Suman
Community pharmacy provides pharmaceutical care in a primary healthcare setting to meet the public's medicine and healthcare needs. The scope of community pharmacy includes drug information and education, distribution, selection, and utilization. The roles and responsibilities of a community pharmacist are to properly dispense and compound medications, provide drug information to patients and physicians, ensure policies and procedures are followed, and offer consultation, counseling, and care regarding medications, side effects, allergic reactions, and more.
The document outlines the key aspects of working in a community pharmacy, including processing prescriptions, customer service, common pharmacy types and roles of technicians. It describes the prescription filling process which involves validating prescriptions, entering information into the computer, generating labels, retrieving medications, pharmacist approval and storage. The document also discusses customer pick-up, cash registers, ordering supplies and disease management counseling.
Clinical pharmacy may be defined as the science and practice of rationale use of
medications, where the pharmacists are more oriented towards the patient care
rationalizing medication therapy promoting health , wellness of people.
It is the modern and extended field of pharmacy.
“ The discipline that embodies the application and development (by pharmacist) of
scientific principles of pharmacology, toxicology, therapeutics, and clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacogenomics and other allied
sciences for the care of patients”.
The document discusses the labelling of dispensed medications. There are three main types of labels: main labels which indicate the brand name and logo; auxiliary labels which provide additional instructions for patients; and pictograms which use graphic images to convey safety information and proper usage instructions without words. Effective labelling of dispensed medications is important for communicating necessary information to patients and ensuring their safe and proper use of medicines.

A pharmacist should not show any such emotion on his face
A Pharmacist is a link between medical professionals and public.
A pharmacist should provide efficient and reasonable comprehensive and pharmaceutical services through the medical store or pharmacy.
The document discusses the regulatory requirements for package inserts in India. Package inserts are documents approved by authorities that are provided with drug packages to inform safe and effective use. In India, the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules govern package inserts and require certain information under Section 6 of Schedule D, including therapeutic indications, dosage, administration method, warnings, interactions and adverse effects. Package inserts are primarily intended to inform healthcare professionals but can also include patient information leaflets in non-technical language.
This document discusses how clinical pharmaceutical care, medical laboratory imaging, and nuclear medicine can work together to improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs. It argues that clinical pharmacists are well-positioned to utilize data from these areas to better monitor drug therapies and collaborate as part of multidisciplinary medical teams. Several studies are cited that show involvement of clinical pharmacists on medical teams can significantly improve various clinical outcomes and lower mortality rates. The inclusion of pharmacists' expertise in areas like medical imaging and laboratory testing is posited to further aid rational drug therapy management and containment of treatment costs.

Introduction
A healthcare system should be well organized and should consist of trained personnel who mainly work with a company or an organization. Physicians, nurses, doctors, pharmacists are some of the examples of health care providers. This is a system that provides professional services to patients that are in high need of treatment as inpatients who are treated generally as outpatients. I decided to select physicians as health care providers and also as medical practitioners since they are always in demand in the medical field, day after another. This is a professional medical practitioner or by simple terms, a doctor who has completed highly advanced training in providing a range of mostly non-surgical health care to patients. A physician should have adverse knowledge in a medical specialty. The main concern is to maintain, restore, and promote health via the study, treatment, and diagnosis of a disease of patients to ensure their wellbeing.
Direct Impact of a Physician
Most companies direct the efforts of their marketing towards physicians to the consumers who are their patients; the shots are put in the physicians through the sale of drugs and also by advertising in most of the medical journals. Most of the largest chunk is put in place towards the detailing of marketing expenditure through advertisement. Some direct adverse impacts towards physicians are the misleading claims, indications that are unapproved and also overstated clinical issues. It has led to patients heading to physicians on a matter regarding well preventive healthcare (Machanda, 2005) since most drug adverts have left patients having an excellent aid of discussions with their physicians regarding treatment through which only safe drugs are allowed.
Physicians and their patients have put into caution through dealing with advertisement of drugs as they use forums which are web-based for their advertisements as they have a literature of promotion on their background which makes them be excluded in the blacklist by companies and by the agency of the regulatory. The detailing through rifeness over the drugs life has been adopted as an explanation of better effectiveness and efficiency of physician firms and improvement of patient’s health. As an industry, it plays a vital role in the economy of the world and also promoting the welfare of the consumers who are the citizens of the nation towards the healthcare industry.

Healthcare Facility Proposal
The provision of outpatient healthcare services in the United States is quickly growing as more investments into this sector come in. There is a great shift in healthcare services from inpatient to outpatient medical services. Among the outpatient healthcare services is the establishment of an outpatient pharmacy. I propose that a pharmacy should be established in the state of Florida, where I come from. The pharmacy should be big enough to possible serve the most people possible. The pharmacy would be open for service to the general public under the directions of the state’s hospital.
A pharmacy would be the best idea for one to put up in my state. The pharmacies are not just outlets for collection of drugs, as some may be made to believe. There is much more in store for the patient when he/she decides to get the services from a pharmacy. Pharmacies offer medicinal and health information and advice to the patients, given that the pharmacists are well trained in the medical and anatomical fields and they understand much on the expected effects of drugs on the body. Pharmacists also offer quick solutions to common weather-related infections such as common cold and influenza, thereby reducing congestion in hospitals. Expectant women and newborn babies and their mothers often require specialized attention in terms of medication and diet. The pharmacists are also well trained to handle such cases and give them the relevant medicinal and nutritional advice that they may need in their pursuit for health.
It is common nowadays for people to suffer from psychological disorders and other emotional distresses. Such patients can also get their services at the pharmacies. These disorders are just as dangerous and as prevalent as other physical diseases and disorders, and are sometimes caused by the effects of chemical imbalances in the body. The pharmacist is well trained to understand the possible imbalances that are likely to induce such mental disorders in the patients, and they therefore give forth the best medication and advice to the patients on how to overcome the disorders. The pharmacists are also well trained to offer therapy sessions to the patients, or they could have the psychiatrists and other experts in those fields at the pharmacies for these therapy sessions (Harding & Taylor, 2016). This helps to rationalize therapy sessions and reduce the costs related to therapy sessions.
Other services delivered at the pharmacies include immunizations to the new-born babies and the little children. This helps reduce the susceptibility of these children to common diseases that attack the infants’ immune system and could bring forth life-threatening diseases to them. Pha ...
Pharmacist-provided care can transform pharmacists from medication dispenser to clinical care team member.

Integrating Pharmacists - JCU - Assoc Prof Sophie CouzosEthanFrench1
The IPAC Project aimed to integrate pharmacists into Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) in Australia to improve chronic disease management for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. Pharmacists provided medication reviews, education, and collaborated with primary care teams at 18 ACCHS sites over 15 months. Evaluations found that pharmacists improved medication adherence and knowledge, identified prescribing issues, and supported self-management. Staff and patients reported pharmacists enhanced holistic care and care coordination.
This document discusses the role of clinical pharmacists in drug information centers (DICs). It defines DICs as areas specialized in providing drug-related information to health professionals and the public. The first DIC was established in 1962 at the University of Kentucky. Clinical pharmacists play an important role in DICs by responding to drug information queries, maintaining documentation of queries and responses, ensuring quality of information provided, and evaluating the drug information service. Their role helps optimize safe and effective medication use. The document also lists several DICs in India and abroad.
This document discusses the role of clinical pharmacists in medical teams. It argues that pharmacists are experts in pharmacology and drug therapy who can improve clinical outcomes when working alongside physicians. The document outlines studies that found clinical pharmacist involvement on medical wards reduced drug errors, adverse drug reactions, morbidity and mortality rates, and healthcare costs. It advocates for pharmacists to take a more active role in multidisciplinary teams to aid physicians and help ensure the best and safest drug therapy for patients. Pharmacists' expertise in areas like drug interactions, delivery systems, and monitoring could benefit patient care and outcomes across many medical disciplines if their contributions were utilized more fully.
The document discusses current trends in clinical pharmacy practice. It describes how clinical pharmacy focuses on optimizing medication therapy to promote health and prevent disease. It outlines several clinical pharmacy services including ward rounds, therapeutic drug monitoring, medication therapy management, and drug information services. The document also discusses the processes of pharmaceutical care and medication therapy management, which involve pharmacists collaborating with other providers and patients to design and monitor therapeutic plans to improve patient outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of these services in ensuring safe and cost-effective pharmacotherapy.
Patient counseling provides several benefits but also faces challenges. It reduces errors, noncompliance, and adverse drug reactions while improving outcomes and patient satisfaction. Counseling is integral to providing pharmaceutical care and professional pharmacy services. However, pharmacists face challenges like lack of time, incentives, and an environment conducive to counseling. Regulations, acceptance by other providers, and patient factors can also impede counseling.
The AHSN Network Polypharmacy Programme is working with healthcare professionals to address problematic polypharmacy by supporting easier identification of patients at potential risk from harm from multiple medications.
Our evidence-based polypharmacy Action Learning Sets (ALS) are being rolled out across England to support GPs, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals who undertake prescribing or medication reviews to understand the complex issues around stopping inappropriate medicines safely.
To drive and accelerate changes in practice, delegates complete a quality improvement project to address problematic polypharmacy in their workplace. This poster summary, Reducing Problematic Polypharmacy in Haringey Care Homes, can be viewed here.

The document assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice of patient medication counseling among drug dispensers in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. It found that almost half of dispensers believed patient counseling is the responsibility of pharmacy professionals. However, dispensers only provided about half of key counseling activities besides drug dose, frequency and administration route. High patient loads and lack of time were major barriers to effective counseling. The study concluded formal education and continuous training are needed to improve dispenser knowledge and patient counseling practices.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
