"Although pharmacy education and practice has changed dramatically, the importance of pharmacotherapy knowledge has remained the same. In its 2017 update, ACCP listed in-depth pharmacotherapy knowledge as one of the six competencies necessary to provide CMM in team-based, direct patient care environments. Patient-centered pharmacotherapy knowledge represents 65% of the board certification examination for the Pharmacotherapy Specialty. And Pharmacotherapy (or "Therapeutics" or "Pharmacotherapeutics") is a major part of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, usually a series of courses with the most credit hours. Indeed, it is this in-depth knowledge of pharmacotherapy, combined with the clinical experience gained through postgraduate training in direct patient care practice, that allows the pharmacist to be the "medication therapy expert" on the healthcare team and to proactively address medication-related problems. 'Pharmacotherapy : A Pathophysiologic Approach' remains as relevant today as it was when originally published 35 years ago. The 12th edition provides students, pharmacists, and other health professionals with the core pharmacotherapy knowledge necessary to prevent, identify, and manage disease and medication-related problems"-- "The #1 textbook in pharmacotherapy providing optimal patient outcomes using evidence-based medication therapies -- updated with the latest advances and guidances. For more than 30 years, 'Dipiro's Pharmacotherapy' has been the essential textbook for learning how to properly select, administer, and monitor drugs -- everything needed to provide safe, effective drug therapy across all therapeutic categories. This new edition has been fully updated with the latest evidence-based information and recommendations. With content from 300 expert contributors, this valuable resource offers detailed descriptions of common and uncommon disease states, including treatment by pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic means. Each disease chapter opens with a Patient Care Process, helping readers understand the collaborative care model in which pharmacists work and communicate with other healthcare providers for effective coordinated care. Here's why 'DiPiro's Phamacotherapy : A Pathophysiologic Approach' is the perfect learning tool for students, pharmacists, and other heathcare providers : all chapters provide the most current, reliable, and relevant information available ; Key Concepts are included at the beginning of each chapter ; Clinical Presentation boxes concisely outline disease signs and symptoms ; new Beyond the Book feature points readers to multimedia resources to deepen their understanding of the material ; diagnostic flow diagrams, treatment algorithms, dosing guideline recommendations, and monitoring approaches clearly distinguish treatment pathways ; new drug monitoring tables have been added ; Patient Care Process boxes help readers know how to communicate with other health care providers ; over 2,000 Review Questions to help prepare students!" --

"Pharmacists are often the first source for information and advice used by a patient when health problems arise. This book supports pharmacists to recognize symptoms, advise with confidence, and recommend appropriate treatment or referral, while also providing a comprehensive digest of common conditions ideal for both practical use and reference. Additionally, the book is also valuable for other primary care health professionals. Informed by the experiences and expertise of seasoned pharmacists and GPs, each chapter in the book provides pharmacists and their staff working in the community with a decision-making framework along with suggestions on "when to refer" contained within summary boxes. A unique feature of the book is that case studies are provided throughout, in which pharmacists, doctors, nurses and patients themselves describe assessment and treatment of a wide range of common problems"--

"Deprescribing and Polypharmacy in an Aging Population supports healthcare professionals across global healthcare institutions in reducing polypharmacy-related drug replated problems (DRPs) by working with patients, families, interprofessional healthcare professionals, and educational institutions to develop, implement, test, improve upon, and educate on strategies for deprescribing and optimizing patient safety. Polypharmacy, the use of multiple medications at the same time by one person, is very common in various patient populations, including those who lack primary physicians, patients with mental health conditions, patients with multiple chronic conditions, and in the aging population."--publisher website.
