In order to better delineate the specific roles of the pharmacist in generating positive health outcomes, pharmacy programs have incorporated the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP). However, there has been limited integration in disciplines outside of pharmacy practice.
This article makes the case that schools need to commit to fully integrating the PPCP that is inclusive of all disciplines. By fostering such integration, all faculty can recognize their role in creating practice-ready, team-ready pharmacists that are consistent, collaborative, and drive positive patient health outcomes. There also is likely innovative integrative efforts being done related to the PPCP in non-practice disciplines, and this article provides some ideas for future scholarly efforts.
If the academy embraces the PPCP fully, we can unite and demonstrate how pharmacists contribute value to the healthcare team.
为了更好地明确药师在产生积极健康结果方面的具体作用，药学课程已经纳入了药师患者护理流程（PPCP）。然而，在药学实践之外的学科中，这种整合的程度有限。
本文认为学校需要致力于全面整合包容性的所有学科的 PPCP。通过促进这种整合，所有教师都可以认识到他们在培养实践准备、团队准备的药师方面的作用，这些药师是一致的、协作的，并能推动积极的患者健康结果。在非实践学科中，也可能正在进行与 PPCP 相关的创新性整合工作，本文为未来的学术努力提供了一些思路。
如果学术界全面接受 PPCP，我们可以团结起来，展示药师如何为医疗保健团队做出贡献。
