To have my patients recognize that I can do more than just put a label on a their medicines that I can and do work with them and their physicians to optimize their care is my goal. Donna Barrio, Pharm. S.C. The College of Pharmacy faculty who are involved in the Disease Management Courses are getting pharmacists ready to administer patient care in a way that will help patients better care for themselves. They are getting us ready for the future of pharmacy. S.C. It s a win-win situation for pharmacists and patients.
Pharmacists can help patients manage their disease.
Patients feel better and that s what disease management is all about. S.C. Respiratory Disease Management will change the practice of pharmacy by equipping us to interact with physicians to help patients control their asthma and stay out of the hospital. I plan on trying to educate patients in use of their medications and devices and inform physicians about their progress.
