“…Patients have detected omitted premedications, wrong infusion intervals, leaking infusions, and incorrect doses, especially of oral medications. [101][102] In an outpatient setting, OPSs can counsel new chemotherapy patients with a review of all the patient's medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter, vitamins, alternative therapy, and herbal products, for drug-chemotherapy interactions, drug-drug interactions, duplicate therapy, and potential side effects. Counseling services can also include patient expectations at clinic visits, education on adverse effects, compliance with supportive care medications, and any lifestyle modifications, such as contraception, diet, and fall-prevention precautions.…”

In 1999, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy expanded its Dallas/ Fort Worth presence by creating a regional campus for pharmacy students in their third and fourth years (P3 and P4 years) of the program. This expansion was driven by the need for additional practice sites. The VANTHCS was an obvious choice for the school due to the similarity of missions for clinical practice, education, and research. The VANTHCS and pharmacy school renovated a 4,000 square foot building, which includes classrooms, conference rooms, a student lounge, and faculty offices (expanded to 8,000 square feet in 2003). To date, the school has invested $1 million in the building. From a practice perspective, VANTHCS purchases faculty professional services from the school to augment its clinical specialist staff. These professional practice contracts provide VANTHCS with 12 additional clinical pharmacy specialists serving 50% of their time in multiple specialty areas. The collaboration has also allowed for expansion of clinical teaching, benefitting both institutions. In addition to the pharmacy student interns on P3 and P4 practice experiences, the collaboration allows for 8 to 10 postgraduate pharmacy residents to train with VANTHCS clinical specialists and school faculty members each year. The VANTHCS/pharmacy school collaboration has clearly enhanced the ability of both institutions to exceed their teaching, research, and practice goals in a cost-effective manner.

Background: Clinical pharmacy services in various ambulatory care settings are well-defined and documented. Nevertheless, data addressing clinical pharmacist-provided drug information services to the nephrology department are very limited. The aims of our study were to evaluate the type and quality of clinical pharmacist provided drug information services to the nephrology department. Methodology: The research clinical pharmacist participated in nephrology ward rounds for six days in a week along with an academic renal clinical pharmacist. Any medication related queries requested by the nephrologists or by other healthcare nephrology members were received and attended as per the modified systematic approach for the provision of drug information. Subsequently, the feedback information was provided to the concerned enquirer. The quality of all drug information services provided was evaluated by using drug information quality assurance assessment questionnaire. Results: Overall, 97 drug information requests were received and answered during the study period. Majority of the requests (n=72, 74.22%) were related to the management of the patient under nephrology care and good number of the requests were related to medication dosage (n=42, 43.29%) followed adverse drug reactions (n=22, 22.68%). The preponderance of the requests (n=54, 55.67%) required up to 15 minutes of search from various drug information resources and most of these requests (n=61, 62.88%) were answered verbally with the aid of single reference (n=48, 49.48%). Majority (n=62) of the drug information requests were graded as excellent. Conclusion: Our study confirms the promising role of a renal pharmacist in drug therapy management of really impaired patients and participation of renal clinical pharmacist in the regular ward rounds could be the main reason for both good number and quality of drug information provided.
