Abstract
Clinical pharmacists are healthcare practitioners who have advanced education and training in comprehensive medication management. Clinical pharmacists work with other members of the healthcare team to manage particular medications or disease states. Even though clinical pharmacists are members of healthcare teams, there are still many cases of challenge in the interprofessional relationship with other healthcare team members, especially related to drug management. Increasing interprofessional communication between physicians and clinical pharmacists within the healthcare system could enhance the role of clinical pharmacists. Earlier studies reported that physicians were comfortable with pharmacists detecting and preventing prescription errors, but were uncomfortable with them recommending drug therapy to patients. Acceptance of pharmacists' suggestions by prescribers is a necessary component of the evaluation of clinical pharmacy services. The role of clinical pharmacists could be improved by increasing interprofessional communication between doctors and clinical pharmacists in the healthcare system.
