AB The  practice  of  pharmaceutical  care  requires  the  integration  of  information  about  individual  patients,  their  medical  conditions,  and  their  drug  therapies.The  dimensions  of  the  patient  that  become  most  important  include  the  personal  medication  experience,  living  environment,  and  physiological  status,  including  medical  conditions  or  illnesses  that  need  to  be  managed  with  drug  therapy.The  disease  information  that  becomes  most  important  includes  the  characteristics,  prognosis,  and  natural  course  of  the  disease,  and  the  goals  of  therapy  that  are  achievable  with  drug  therapy.Pharmacological  information  that  is  central  to  all  patient  cases  includes  the  characteristics  of  the  drug,  its  pharmacology,  mechanism  of  action,  toxicity,  pharmacokinetic  and  pharmacodynamic  properties,  and  the  effectiveness  and  safety  that  can  be  expected  for  a  patient.The  Pharmacotherapy  Workup  serves  as  the  conceptual  framework  to  gather,  organize,  evaluate,  and  learn  new  patient,  disease,  and  drug  information.In  a  generalist's  practice,  common  things  are  common,  meaning  that  the  most  frequently  encountered  medical  conditions,  drug  products,  and  drug  therapy  problems  represent  a  majority  of  the  information  needed  to  be  mastered.The  most  valuable  clinical  skills  you  learn  are  those  needed  to  be  reflective  in  practice—it  is  the  best  way  to  improve  yourself  as  a  practitioner.The  pharmacotherapy  case  presentation  has  a  specific  format  that  facilitates  the  successful  communication  among  practitioners  who  share  the  responsibility  for  managing  medications.
