E-drug: Wrong diagnosis and poor nursing (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, as all people who have attended Quality Improvement courses
or PRDU courses know, unless the infrastructure & process (laws
governing pharmacy, degree course content for pharmacist with
significant clinical component...). It is not possible to "push"
pharmacist in the clinical areas. In countries like USA and France
where the basics are already fixed, pharmacists are doing what you
suggest. What can pharmacists do is train and advise, but to rush
in clinical areas may bring many predictable legal, clinical and social
conflicts.
