AB  - The  philosophy  of  practice  is  the  most  important  concept  of  a  professional  practice,  but  the  most  difficult  to  grasp  because  it  is  the  only  component  that  is  not  tangible.A  philosophy  of  practice  is  the  set  of  values  that  guides  a  practitioner's  behavior  to  be  ethically  appropriate,  clinically  accurate,  and  legal.  It  defines  the  rules,  roles,  relationships,  and  responsibilities  of  the  practitioner.A  philosophy  of  practice  is  specific  to  a  practice,  not  the  practitioner.  A  practitioner's  philosophy  of  life  is  different  and  separate  from  the  practice  philosophy.The  philosophy  of  pharmaceutical  care  establishes  the  purpose  for  the  practice  that  is  to  meet  the  social  need  to  control  drug-related  morbidity  and  mortality  by  managing  medications  well.The  professional  responsibilities  defined  by  the  philosophy  of  pharmaceutical  care  are  to  identify  drug  therapy  problems,  resolve  them,  and  most  importantly,  prevent  them  from  occurring  in  patients.The  philosophy  of  pharmaceutical  care  states  that  these  responsibilities  will  be  carried  out  in  a  patient-centered  manner  using  the  caring  paradigm  that  has  been  defined  by  the  professions  of  medicine  and  nursing.  This  paradigm  requires  that  the  practitioner  comprehensively  assess  a  patient's  drug-related  needs,  that  he  develops  a  care  plan  that  can  address  these  needs,  and  that  he  follows  up  to  determine  that  the  desired  outcomes  are  achieved  and  no  harm  has  been  done.There  are  standards  of  professional  behavior  that  determine  if  a  practitioner  is  applying  the  philosophy  of  practice  in  practice.  These  standards  should  be  met  each  time  a  patient  is  cared  for  by  the  practitioner.
