The fifth edition of the ACCP Ambulatory Care Pharmacist’s Survival Guide builds on previous editions and offers useful information to both new and seasoned clinicians. Overseen by Lead Editor Kirk E. Evoy, Pharm.D., FCCP, FTSHP, BCACP, BC-ADM, CTTS, the fifth edition of the Survival Guide has been written and reviewed by members of the ACCP Ambulatory Care Practice and Research Network, ensuring its applicability and relevance. “Most chapters feature a brief description of the authors’ current clinical practice or teaching background for context,” states Evoy, “followed by institutional examples from exemplar pharmacy practice sites (e.g., protocols, algorithms, collaborative practice agreements) or experienced educators (e.g., syllabi, teaching activities).”
The Survival Guide includes timely information that ambulatory care pharmacists can use every day. Moreover, as Evoy notes, the fifth edition “features several expanded chapters providing more comprehensive lessons on important topics for ambulatory care pharmacists, including billing and reimbursement for pharmacy services, development of collaborative practice agreements, and integration of scholarship into clinical practice.”
The book covers important topics in three major areas:
- Ambulatory Care Basics – Collaborative Practice Agreements, Billing and Reimbursement, Scholarship for Clinicians, and More
- Clinical Services – Managing Clinics for Chronic Conditions, Public Health, Medication Therapy Management, and More
- Education – Ambulatory Care APPE Clinical Rotations, Residencies, Business Models, and More
Filled with detailed examples of successful clinical practices, the Survival Guide is invaluable for building or expanding patient care services. Every clinician in the ambulatory care setting will benefit from this excellent resource.
