ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the physician-pharmacist joint outpatient service mode of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) and asthma. Methods Cases of COPD or asthma patients who visited the joint outpatient department from June 2021 to December 2021 were collected in our hospital, the inhaler usage score,compliance ( MMAS-8) score,clinical control efficacy,incidence of adverse reactions and patient satisfaction were evaluated before and after pharmaceutical care intervention and statistically analyzed.Results The inhaler usage score,MMAS-8 score,and the Asthma Control Test(ACT)/COPD Assessment Test(CAT) score had been changed significantly after the intervention (P<0.05). Patient satisfaction with pharmaceutical care was basically above 94.75%.Conclusion Pharmaceutical care provided by joint outpatient department in our hospital could help COPD and asthma patients to use inhaler device correctly,resulting in improving compliance of inhaler usage, better disease control,and reducing the occurrence of adverse drug reactions, which could be a positive attempt and exploration of standardized pharmaceutical care model for patients with COPD and asthma.
ABSTRACT
In order to expand the breadth and depth of pharmaceutical services, in March 2022, a tertiary hospital opened a physician-pharmacist joint clinic based on clinical specialty clinics. The hospital formulated a fixed outpatient scheduling system, clarified service targets, established outpatient treatment processes and quality management systems, and standardized pharmacist communication models, to provide patients with " one-stop" standardized pharmaceutical services. As of December 2022, the pharmaceutical joint outpatient service had opened more than 100 consultations and served 1 709 patients. This practice provided reference for promoting the high-quality development of pharmaceutical services in medical institutions in China.
