About this Research Topic
This special research topic will focus on the functional positioning of clinical pharmacists and discuss the role that clinical pharmacists can play in promoting the improvement of medical quality. The research can be carried out around the following issues, but not limited to the following directions:
1. In what ways can clinical pharmacists improve medical quality? Whether clinical pharmacists can improve medical quality by promoting rational clinical drug use through new technical means and new methods in their daily work.
2. How do clinical pharmacists carry out medication guidance and clinical results? Whether clinical pharmacists can improve the clinical treatment effect through pharmacy outpatient service, doctor's order review, and drug science popularization.
3. How to better train clinical pharmacists. Design reasonable courses, regularly carry out relevant clinical pharmacy training, build a medical education framework system, and improve medical quality.
We welcome contributions related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Clinical pharmacists use new technologies to improve medical quality. Clinical pharmacists optimize clinical treatment plans and improve medical quality through blood drug concentration monitoring and drug-related genomics analysis.
• Clinical pharmacists improve medical quality through medication guidance. Clinical pharmacists optimize medication orders, reduce the use of unnecessary drugs such as antibacterial drugs, select more appropriate drug treatment programs, and improve medical quality.
• Optimize the medical education programs and facilitate clinical pharmacists’ learning. Optimize the training programs for clinical pharmacists, and improve the training and treatment of clinical pharmacists.
