Full Description
Contemporary Research Methods in Pharmacy and Health Services, Volume Two is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of pharmaceutical science. Building on the groundbreaking work published in the esteemed journals Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy (RSAP) and Exploratory Research in Clinical and Social Pharmacy (ERCSP), this volume addresses the critical need for comprehensive and structured methodologies in evaluating and implementing pharmacy services. By transforming selected articles into fully developed chapters, the book enriches the discourse surrounding contemporary research methods, making it an invaluable tool for advancing knowledge and practice.
The volume features a diverse array of chapters that cover a wide range of topics, including the use of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to evaluate telepharmacy services for outpatient cancer patients, the translation and validation of adherence measurement tools, and the application of network analysis in health code systems. Other notable contributions explore innovative strategies for improving clinical pharmacy services, conducting scoping reviews in pharmacy education, and employing mixed-methods approaches to enhance medication counseling.
