“…11,12 In the community pharmacist sample, 45% of responses were considered product-focused (e.g., "fill prescriptions"), whereas only 29% were patient-centred (e.g., "address patients' medication needs"). 11 Among hospital pharmacists, only 24% of responses to this question were patient-centred (e.g., "work as a member of the health care team to improve individual patient's health"), whereas over half of the responses were related directly to drugs (rather than patients, e.g., "calculating pharmacokinetics for certain medications") or were focused on drug distribution (e.g., "dispense prescriptions"). 12 Taken together, the results of these studies suggest that pharmacy culture remains rooted in the traditional function of dispensing medications.…”
