Clinical pharmacy in rural practice environments

Summary The clinical roles of non-physician providers of health care in rural environments are of particular interest due to the maldistribution of health care resources, particularly physicians, in the U.S.A. The results of a demonstration study with the aim of focusing on the determination of a clinical role model for the rural pharmacist are reported. Four types of rural practice settings were investigated, and twelve clinical pharmacy residents (Pharm Ds) provided services on a rotational basis. The four community sites demonstrated considerable differential need and demand for clinical pharmacy services. Virtually all persons contacted during the course of the project found the clinical pharmacy resident to be a valuable addition to rural health care. Success in outpatient counselling was less than expected, suggesting possible role constraints for rural clinical pharmacists. Clinical pharmacy residents often found rural practice roles undesirable for many of the same reasons that physicians are reluctant to practice in rural areas. The methodolody employed in planning, design, implementation and control in the provision of clinical pharmacy services in a rural environment are also described in detail.

Periodic surveys of community resources: A project to improve referrals for direct services

This report is based on a demonstration project in which outpatient psychiatric and counseling agencies available to residents of Prince George's County, Maryland, were surveyed by mail questionnaire every 3 months over a 15-month period. The purpose of the project was to review current services available in each agency. All agencies offering their services to county residents participated in the surveys. The results of each survey were fed back to the participating agencies as well as to other agencies who were known to refer to mental health resources. An evaluation of the project by the above agencies was conducted by mail questionnaire after the demonstration period. It revealed that this kind of service is of considerable value when interagency referrals are made.

Spiritual Therapy: How the Physician, Psychiatrist and Minister Collaborate in Healing

This little book has a remarkable history. A paper by Drs. Richard K. Young and Benjamin S. Patrick, "Outpatient Pastoral Counseling in a Medical Center," was published inThe Journalon Septemberber 6, 1958. Mr. Clarence Hall, senior editor of the<i>Reader's Digest</i>, was so impressed with it that he made two visits to the North Carolina Baptist Hospital, the teaching hospital of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, to collect material for an article on the work of Chaplain Dick Young and his associates in the department of pastoral care. In order to justify the length of the article, he published it in the Book Section of the<i>Reader's Digest</i>as "condensed form of a forthcoming book" and extracted a promise from Dr. Young that he would write the book thus condensed. "Spiritual Therapy" is the result. The book shows a new approach to the relation between physician and

Outpatient pastoral counseling in a medical center.

The North Carolina Baptist Hospital, a teaching hospital of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College, employed a minister to work intensively with inpatients as a member of the faculty of the medical school. The outstanding advantage of locating a pastoral counseling service in a medical center is the availability of medical resources. Here comprehensive medicine provides a team approach to the individual. Counseling is a religious process in which the individual is helped to realize more nearly the full potentials of his own personality. A promising development that has grown out of this program has been the opportunity for research. It is in this area that institutional chaplains can render a real contribution to the parish minister who lacks the time and does not usually have access to the findings of specialized professional people.

This in itself marks a significant step in our understanding of this disorder, for it signifies the surmounting of the moral frame of reference within which chronic alcoholism has so long been regarded as a manifestation of ignorance, of vice, of sinfulness, or of all of these combined.In advancing...
