Abstract

Most people on the outside of the health care professionals are unfamiliar with this new role of the pharmacist. The general public has portrayed a ste-reotypical pharmacist's picture as remain a person who stands behind a counter, dispenses medicine with some instructions to the respective consumer. Pharmacy practice has changed substantially in recent years. Today's pharmacists have unique training and expertise in the appropriate use of medications and provide a broad array of patient care services in many different practice settings. As doctors are engaged with the diagnosis and treatment of patients, the pharmacist can assist them by selecting the most appropriate drug for a patient. Divine interventions by pharmacists have always been considered as a valuable input by the health care community in the patient care process by radically reducing the medication errors, rationalizing the therapy and reducing the cost of therapy. The development and approval of the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process by the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners and incorporation of the Process into the 2016 Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards have the potential to lead to important changes in the practice of pharmacy, and the enhanced acknowledgment, acceptance, and reimbursement for pharmacy and pharmacist services. As a reviewer, it is my heartiest belief that the book will adjoin significant apprehension to future pharmacists' in-patient care as most of the portion created from recently published articles focusing on pharmacist's inpatient care settings.
