> Basically saying with new health care reform that pharmacists will assume more responsibility for patient care. That they will have the authority to change a patients med doses, have a lot of fancy equipment for assessing pts. That the minute Clinics that CVS has now will be manned by Nurse Practioneers. They will do school physicals, innoculations, prescribe meds. Pharmacists now also taught to give innoculations, call you if you don't refill your scripts, assume the role of what docs do today. As too few available. It's a good read. An eye opener for sure. My husband was reading it and that's why I posted it. Phillipa
I wonder how these changes will affect pharmacy technicians. Will they also be given an expanded role in managing the pharmacy if pharmacists are so busy consulting patients. Also regarding med doses for certain things I suppose but I doubt a pharmacist could say sure double your xanax for the next week
