Abstract
Objective: The medication use system is a complex process of medication prescribing, order processing, dispensing, administration, and effects monitoring. Objectives of this review are to describe the available literature and identify resources for educating and assessing pharmacy students in Medication-use Process Stewardship.
Findings: In 2013, the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) published educational outcomes (EOs) including Medication-use Systems Management (CAPE 2.2, Manager). In 2022, the EOs for pharmacy education were updated and integrated with Entrustable Practice Activities (EPAs) as Curriculum Outcomes and Entrustable Practice Activities (COEPA). During this evolution the revised Medication-use Process Stewardship (COEPA 2.6, Steward) de-emphasized process management while focusing more on stewardship of the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP), person-centered care and optimizing patient outcomes, and environmental impact of medication-use systems. A literature review identified 41 articles relevant to pharmacy education and assessment of medication-use concepts. Most available literature is aligned with CAPE 2013 domain 2.2 Manager, not COEPA 2.6 Steward. Many articles reported innovations in teaching and assessment, such as simulation in prescription verification and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). Few articles reported on prescription verification and dispensing in non-community settings.
Summary: The change from management to stewardship in COEPA 2.6 has significant curricular implications with the emphasis moving from process- to person-centered care. However, continued integration of process-centered activities throughout the curriculum is essential to fully prepare graduates for entry level practice. Future research is needed to identify approaches for teaching and assessing stewardship and the environmental impact of medication use systems.
期刊介绍:
The Journal accepts unsolicited manuscripts that have not been published and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The Journal only considers material related to pharmaceutical education for publication. Authors must prepare manuscripts to conform to the Journal style (Author Instructions). All manuscripts are subject to peer review and approval by the editor prior to acceptance for publication. Reviewers are assigned by the editor with the advice of the editorial board as needed. Manuscripts are submitted and processed online (Submit a Manuscript) using Editorial Manager, an online manuscript tracking system that facilitates communication between the editorial office, editor, associate editors, reviewers, and authors.
After a manuscript is accepted, it is scheduled for publication in an upcoming issue of the Journal. All manuscripts are formatted and copyedited, and returned to the author for review and approval of the changes. Approximately 2 weeks prior to publication, the author receives an electronic proof of the article for final review and approval. Authors are not assessed page charges for publication.
