AB A  care  plan  is  developed  for  each  of  the  patient's  medical  conditions  being  managed  with  pharmacotherapy.Care  plans  include  goals  of  therapy,  interventions,  and  a  schedule  for  the  next  follow-up  evaluation.A  goal  of  therapy  is  the  desired  response  or  endpoint  that  you  and  your  patient  want  to  achieve  from  pharmacotherapy.The  care  plan  includes  interventions  to  resolve  the  drug  therapy  problems,  interventions  to  achieve  goals  of  therapy,  and  any  necessary  interventions  to  prevent  drug  therapy  problems.Pharmacotherapy  interventions  include;  initiating  new  drug  therapy,  discontinuing  drug  therapy,  or  increasing  the  dosage,  decreasing  the  dosage  regimen,  or  changing  the  product.Additional  interventions  to  achieve  the  goals  of  therapy  can  include;  patient  education,  medication  adherence  reminders/devices,  referrals  to  other  health  care  practitioners,  or  initiating  a  monitoring  plan  including  how  to  use  the  equipment  to  measure  outcome  parameters.The  last  activity  in  the  care  plan  is  scheduling  a  follow-up  evaluation  with  the  patient  to  determine  the  progress  toward  achieving  the  goals  of  therapy  and  desired  outcomes.Documentation  of  the  care  plan  shows  the  relationship  between  the  goals  of  therapy  and  the  interventions  made  to  achieve  the  goals.
