Pharmaceutical Care in Digital Revolution

Pharmaceutical Care in Digital Revolution demonstrates how health technology augments pharmaceutical care and enhances drug outcomes. Organized into four parts, “Global Healthcare Systems Under Pressure,” “Digital Advances to Innovate Pharmaceutical Care,” “Conditions to Successful Innovation,” and “Concrete Examples for Every Pharmaceutical stakeholder”, this book examines digital health advances that will synergize the pharmaceutical care process and prepare stakeholders for a dynamic future. It begins with the global picture on health care systems, patients’ expectations and current pharmaceutical care practices. Subsequently, the book covers the details of relevant digital technologies, compliance, ethics, and educational and cultural aspects.

With interactive links to lectures and technology facts, tutorials on how to implement advances in your own working environment, and examples of stakeholders who are successful in building synergy between digital and pharma, the book provides a practical resource to equip pharmaceutical care stakeholders, such as pharmacists, physicians, pharmacy technicians, and students with what they need to be successful.
