“…In the absence of the decision-making method to assess the patient’s pharmacotherapy, the pharmacist is floating, hovering over all the health needs of the patient, without recognizing what should be his/her major focus on patient care [ 33 ], and possibly acting only as a follower of decisions of other professionals. The participant P1 says “the decision-making method is the axis.…”

Decision-Making Process in Comprehensive Medication Management Services: From the Understanding to the Development of a Theoretical Model

2020

In Comprehensive medication management (CMM), the practitioner applies a decision-making method to assess patients’ pharmacotherapy in order to identify and solve drug therapy problems. Grounded theory was used to understand how pharmacists make clinical decisions when providing CMM service. Data collection included individual semi structured interviews with 11 pharmacists, observation of clinical case discussions and CMM consultations provided by the participating pharmacists. Two main categories emerged: 1. Understanding the rational method of decision-making: the foundation of the patient care process. 2. Balancing the care equation: the objective and the subjective, which includes a theoretical proposal explaining the pharmacists’ decision-making process and the factors that can modify this process. The pharmacotherapy knowledge should guide the anamnesis. Thus, the professional can evaluate the indication, effectiveness, safety and convenience of medications used by the patient. After exploring patients’ medication experiences, pharmacists can follow two courses of action: helping the patient overcome barriers to medication use; or matching the pharmacotherapy to the patient’s routine. Professional autonomy and absence of the patient at the time of the decision were some factors that influenced the pharmacist’s decision. Findings provide a broad understanding of pharmacists’ decision-making process during the care of patients using medications. It can be applied as a basis for educational interventions to train professionals on decision-making.

“…Expanded employment opportunities for pharmacists will be realized if stakeholders believe that three key specifics are true: the care delivered by pharmacists has a significant positive impact on health care quality and costs; this care is accomplished via a service that is distinct to pharmacists and unable to be delivered by another health care provider (or an emerging technology) at a lower price point; and the care process of pharmacists that creates value is consistently delivered across all settings and situations. 21 If pharmacists around the world commit to public action now, we may be able to "flatten the curve" of the projected number of people who contract COVID-19, while also "raising the bar" for the public's expectations of what pharmacists contribute to the quality use of medicines in acute and chronic situations.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has upended health systems all over the world and clinical pharmacy has not been spared from this disruption. In some situations, this has meant an expansion of duties and provision of additional funding to support this. 1,2 In others, it has led to a clear designation of which health services are deemed to be essential and which are expendable. So far, governments worldwide have rightly deemed physical access to medications to be crucial. And in most countries, pharmacists are still the main gatekeepers and suppliers of medicines.

“…Furthermore, colleges and schools are working to prepare students to use a consistent thought process that involves assessing each drug for indication, effectiveness, safety and adherence. 37 Additional work in elucidating the distinctiveness of the pharmacist's identity is needed to support pharmacists and learners in explaining, presenting and conducting themselves in a manner that positively affects practice transformation.…”

Professional identity formation (PIF) involves internalizing and demonstrating the behavioral norms, standards, and values of a professional community, such that one comes to "think, act and feel" like a member of that community. Professional identity influences how a professional perceives, explains, presents and conducts themselves. This report of the 2020-2021 AACP Student Affairs Standing Committee (SAC) describes the benefits of a strong professional identity, including its importance in advancing practice transformation. Responding to a recommendation from the 2019-2020 SAC, this report presents an illustrative and interpretative schema as an initial step towards describing a pharmacist's identity. However, the profession must further elucidate a universal and distinctive pharmacist identity, in order to better support pharmacists and learners in explaining and presenting the pharmacist's scope of practice and opportunities for practice change. Additionally, the report outlines recommendations for integrating intentional professional identity formation within professional curricula at colleges and schools of pharmacy. Although there is no standardized, single way to facilitate PIF in students, the report explores possibilities for meeting the student support and faculty development needs of an emerging new emphasis on PIF within the Academy.
