Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials
"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."
-- Susan Romann, PharmD, BCGP (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review
Audience
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.
