Exploration of collaborative drug therapy management mode for elderly patients with chronic diseases

doi:10.5246/jcps.2022.11.073

Abstract

Abstract:

As China is accelerating into an aging society, the coexistence of multiple diseases, multiple drugs, and the decline of body function are serious problems faced by elderly patients. Therefore, it is imperative to carry out the comprehensive prevention and control of chronic diseases, strengthen the health guidance and comprehensive intervention of common and chronic diseases of the elderly, and strengthen the health management of elderly patients. Collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) is a drug treatment management mode that emerged in pharmaceutical services under the situation of new medical reform, aiming to expand the role of pharmacists in the medical team and improve the quality of hospital medical service. Although CDTM has shown some favorable effects in managing chronic diseases in the elderly population, the popularization of CDTM in China is limited by the differences in supporting facilities, management mode, and pharmacist's abilities in hospitals. By exploring the CDTM mode for elderly patients with chronic diseases, we provided a reference for further promoting the CDTM services and laid a good foundation for displaying pharmacist value and the realization of real pharmaceutical care.

Key words: Elderly patients, Chronic diseases, CDTM, Pharmaceutical services
