From a medical provider's perspective:
I help providers address gaps between clinic visits when patients need help getting the most out of their medications, from evidence-based utilization to affordability. There are many touch points between writing a prescription and use of medication; optimizing therapy is cyclical in nature and requires consistent follow-up to achieve intended outcomes. Pharmacists can follow patients more closely to ensure they reach their goals of care through clinical decision-making and reduce the time needed to assess a fair trial of their medication.
From a patient's perspective:
I help patients with chronic diseases reach their clinical and personal goals through medication therapy and lifestyle management. Our current health care system makes access to and benefit from medications difficult due to multiple obstacles. Pharmacists are trained to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications in relation to your medical conditions and personal life factors. I have extensive training to help you improve through lifestyle support and the right medications, for the right patient, at the right time.
