Abstract
Health systems in many countries are currently undergoing an evolution towards more person-centred care. However, an overview of the literature shows that there is little or no guidance available on how to apply person-centred care to pharmaceutical care and clinical pharmacy practices. In this paper we apply a model for person-centred care created by a national multidisciplinary research centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, to the clinical work tasks of outpatient and inpatient pharmacists and describe how pharmaceutical care can become more person-centred.
Highlights
As part of the health system, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals providing pharmaceutical care are well-placed to adopt a person-centred ethic
The different roles and responsibilities of clinical pharmacists and community pharmacists will affect the further development of person-centred care, in initiating, working, and safeguarding the partnership with the patient
A similar challenge remains in insufficient knowledge available on how different members of professional teams will collaborate to provide their end of the partnership; pharmacists are not expected to be the sole carer of a patient, and are always part of a larger team with the patient and other healthcare professional (HCP)
Summary
As part of the health system, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals providing pharmaceutical care are well-placed to adopt a person-centred ethic. The different roles and responsibilities of clinical pharmacists and community pharmacists will affect the further development of person-centred care, in initiating, working, and safeguarding the partnership with the patient.
