Description: This book recommends evidence-based medication therapies based on the latest advances and guidelines. Diagnostic flow diagrams, treatment algorithms, and clearly outlined tables and graphs for dosing and monitoring recommendations enable readers to clearly understand how to approach patient care. Patient Care Process boxes endorsed by the Joint Commission for Pharmacy Practitioners helps learners learn how to collaborate with the interdisciplinary care team. The previous edition of this pharmacotherapy reference was published in 2020.
Purpose: The original purpose of the book was to meet the educational standards of emerging Doctor of Pharmacy programs, serve as an evidence-based reference for clinical pharmacists and other clinicians involved in direct patient care, and support pharmacotherapy as a board-certified specialty in pharmacy by providing evidence of the field's comprehensive body of knowledge. These goals are still applicable today, as the book serves as a core reference in the curriculum of academic programs across the country. It is widely accepted as the most reliable and valuable resource for pharmacist clinicians and other clinical specialists. Because clinical pharmacy is ever-evolving, the book keeps online chapters updated on a continual basis, so they are current as new drugs are approved, guidelines are published, and recommendations change on the best use of pharmacotherapeutic agents in disease management. This enables pharmacist clinicians and learners to stay updated and reference the book online for the most current evidence-based recommendations.
Audience: This book is an ideal learning tool for students, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers. The chapters are outlined to provide comprehensive, evidence-based information in way that is easy for the audience to comprehend. The book assembles over 300 expert contributors, including two of the original authors, many of them professors at pharmacy schools across the U.S.
Features: The book includes a record number of chapters (167) in print and online, including a new chapter on the ever-changing topic of COVID-19. Each chapter begins with a list of key concepts that summarizes important clinical topics. A new feature called Beyond the Book, a section at the beginning of each chapter, points readers to multimedia resources to deepen their understanding of the material. Diagnostic flow diagrams, treatment algorithms, dosing guideline recommendations, and monitoring approaches help readers understand how to treat individual patients. Each chapter highlights Patient Care Process boxes to teach readers the five fundamental steps to approaching patient care, including: collect, assess, plan, implement and follow-up, and monitor and evaluate. The book outlines comprehensive information, including available drug preparations and dosing recommendations, in an organized table format, enabling readers to access information quickly. The book includes clinical examples so readers can apply the information to particular patients. Diagrams bring the pathophysiology to life, such as the depiction of presynaptic and postsynaptic regulation of serotonin and norepinephrine in the pathophysiology of depression. The book also outlines the chapters in sections, enabling leaners to further digest challenging topics and easily access information.
Assessment: This book is the gold standard text for pharmacy and healthcare providers alike. Compared to Remington's, Stedman's, Goodman & Gillman's, Harrison's, and Koda-Kimble, what differentiates this book is the comprehensive pharmacy knowledge it provides. It supports evidence-based practice for pharmacists in the clinical setting, and offers the most current, reliable, and relevant information available. This book is the number one text in pharmacotherapy, covering optimal patient outcomes using evidence-based drug therapies.
