Prevalence of medication management by community pharmacists in patients of a Newfoundland family medicine clinic

摘要

Introduction: Although the degree to which pharmacists may renew or adapt prescriptions varies widely by province, the overarching trend of expanded services is clearly growing. With the addition of reimbursement programs in some provinces and the introduction of prescriptive authority in others, there is clear growth in pharmacists' scope of practice. As a result, pharmacists have more responsibility for and input into patient care.
