Overview

Patient Education and Counseling Program

E-Learning Storyboard

Introduction:

  • Safe and effective drug therapy depends on patients being well informed about their medication.
  • Most pharmacists in community pharmacies and hospitals have not been educated and trained for counselling and have remained mainly as prescription fillers or dispensers.
  • As a result, many patients do not get enough information about their medication use, including how and when to take the drug, how long to take it, and what to do if side effects occur or a dose is missed.
  • Lack of information may lead to therapeutic failure, adverse effects, additional expenditure on investigations and treatment or even hospitalisation.

Definition:

  • patient counseling refers to the process of providing information, advice and assistance to help patients use their medications appropriately.
  • According to USP, medication counselling is an approach that focuses on enhancing the patients’ problem-solving skills to improve or maintain the quality of health and quality of life.
  • The information is usually given verbally but may be supplemented with written materials.
  • During the patient counselling course, the pharmacist should assess the patient’s understanding of their illness and treatment.
  • In addition, providing individualised advice and information will assist the patient in taking their medication most safely and effectively.
  • To provide accurate advice and information, the pharmacist should be familiar with the pathophysiology and therapeutics of the patient’s disease.
