Learn How to Thrive in Today’s Institutional Pharmacy Practice Landscape. The Only Comprehensive Introductory Guide, Updated and Expanded
With ASHP’s Introduction to Acute and Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Practice, 2nd Edition, pharmacy students and technicians can gain a professional head start by learning essential vocabulary, legal and regulatory issues, and the core clinical and administrative pharmacy operations in various practice settings. It is also a useful reference for new practitioners and anyone else interested in institutional pharmacy’s current financial, technological, and distributional systems.
Written by David A. Holdford, RPh, MS, PhD, FAPhA, with additional content from 27 leading experts, the second edition provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of the institutional pharmacy practice in both hospital and outpatient settings, with a special focus on the developing role of technicians. It has been thoroughly updated to cover all current developments, and is clearly written, with Key Facts, What Ifs and other learning enhancements that make terms, concepts, and processes easy to understand and apply.
2 New and 18 Updated Chapters Cover Topics including:
- • Key legal and regulatory issues
- • Managing medication use and distribution
- • Professional terminology
- • Technology and automation
- • Financial management, inventory, and cost control
- • Sterile product preparation and administration
- • Managing people and leadership
- • Careers and training options
- • The expanding role of pharmacy technicians
Along with an understanding of the workings of institutional practice, students and new pharmacists can acquire the terminology that enables them to speak knowledgeably, along with insight into professional opportunities, including some non-traditional ones.
The intended audience is pharmacy students, educators, pharmacy technicians, and new pharmacy graduates. The content and learning objectives were developed with this audience in mind. Some chapters may be useful for hospital introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs). This book may also provide valuable insights for students or new graduates who seek community pharmacy careers, but are curious about health-system pharmacy practice and the potential partnerships between the two settings. An educator could use this book in an introductory course on hospital pharmacy practice, including financial and regulatory considerations, distribution versus cognitive services, and possible education requirements for employment in various areas. It could also be helpful in a pharmacy technician course, especially given the chapter formatting, including key terms, definitions, and end-of-chapter review questions. The author and contributors range from pharmacy practitioners and educators to administrators and those in regulatory affairs, medication safety, and informatics.
Doody's Review
"As a comprehensive introduction to hospital and health-system pharmacy practice, this book would be useful for an introductory course on hospital practice for IPPE programs or pharmacy technician courses or, perhaps, in interprofessional activities to expose other disciplines to the roles of pharmacists in this setting. The second edition addresses a fresh audience and introduces readers to novel and innovative practice settings in the health system."
