Application to the Changing Role of Pharmacists

The role of pharmacists is changing. Pharmacists are increasingly being called upon to provide more clinical services, such as medication counseling and disease management. Fluger can help pharmacists to support these new roles by providing them with the tools they need to manage patient information and provide care to their patients.

For example, Fluger’s patient history module can help pharmacists to:

• Identify patients who are at risk for drug interactions: Fluger can flag patients who are at risk for drug interactions based on their medication history and other factors. This helps pharmacists to prevent drug interactions and improve patient safety.
• Develop personalized medication regimens: Fluger can help pharmacists to develop personalized medication regimens for their patients based on their medication history, medical conditions, and other factors. This helps to improve patient adherence and outcomes.
• Monitor patient adherence: Fluger can help pharmacists to monitor patient adherence to their medication regimens. This helps pharmacists to identify patients who may need additional support and to intervene early to prevent problems.

Conclusion

Fluger is a powerful pharmacy software solution that can help pharmacists to be more efficient and effective in their work. Fluger’s patient history module makes it easy for pharmacists to record and manage patient information, which can lead to improved efficiency, reduced errors, and improved patient care. Fluger can also help pharmacists to support the changing role of pharmacists by providing them with the tools they need to manage patient information and provide clinical services.

Example

Here is an example of how a pharmacist might use Fluger to record patient history and support the change in pharmacy scope:

A pharmacist is seeing a new patient who is taking a number of medications. The pharmacist uses Fluger’s patient history module to record the patient’s medication history, medical conditions, and allergies. The pharmacist then uses Fluger to identify any potential drug interactions.

The pharmacist finds that the patient is at risk for a drug interaction between two of their medications. The pharmacist uses Fluger to develop a personalized medication regimen for the patient that reduces the risk of a drug interaction. The pharmacist then uses Fluger to monitor the patient’s adherence to their new medication regimen.

By using Fluger to record patient history and support the change in pharmacy scope, the pharmacist is able to provide the patient with better care and improve their overall health and well-being.

Here are some examples of how Fluger can be used to record script consults for these specific conditions:

Oral contraceptive pills

• Record the patient’s medical history, including any allergies, current medications, and medical conditions.
• Ask the patient about their contraceptive goals and preferences.
• Review the different types of oral contraceptive pills available and their potential side effects.
• Help the patient choose the best oral contraceptive pill for their individual needs.
• Provide the patient with counseling on how to take the pill correctly and what to do if they miss a dose.
• Record the patient’s consent to take the pill.

Mild skin conditions

• Record the patient’s medical history, including any allergies, current medications, and medical conditions.
• Examine the patient’s skin to diagnose the condition.
• Discuss the different treatment options with the patient and recommend the best treatment based on their individual needs.
• Provide the patient with counseling on how to use the treatment correctly.
• Record the patient’s consent to receive the treatment.

Antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs in women

• Record the patient’s medical history, including any allergies, current medications, and medical conditions.
• Perform a physical examination to rule out any other causes of the UTI.
• Prescribe an antibiotic for the UTI.
• Provide the patient with counseling on how to take the antibiotic correctly and what to do if they experience any side effects.
• Record the patient’s consent to take the antibiotic.

Fluger can also be used to track the patient’s progress and follow up with them as needed. For example, Fluger can be used to remind the patient to take their oral contraceptive pill or to schedule a follow-up appointment to assess their response to treatment for a mild skin condition or UTI.

By using Fluger to record script consults, pharmacists can improve their efficiency, reduce errors, and provide better care to their patients.
