Practice
Transformation Institute has a program specifically designed to integrate
Doctors of Pharmacy, Registered Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians into the
interprofessional healthcare team. Pharmacists
and pharmacy technicians already contribute to the health and wellness of
individuals and communities by being the medication experts. Studies have shown
they are performing more patient care activities such as health coaching and
medical therapy management in a variety of settings and spending less time in
the traditional role of dispensing medications. Their role is expanding further
to provide leadership in quality improvement initiatives and medication-related
measures.
The
ability to communicate and collaborate effectively as a member of the
interprofessional practice team is essential to improve health outcomes and
deliver safe and quality care to all patients. This course provides core
competencies to become a member of a high-functioning, patient-centered team as
students learn how to manage and use available resources to promote health
improvement, wellness and disease prevention. It is a blend of online on-demand
courses and one in-person training day. The many topics covered in this program
include:
·
Introduction to Care Management Principles
