• W1983338903 abstract "“An education that teaches you to understand something about the world has done only half of the assignment. The other half is to teach you to do something about making the world a better place.” —Johnnetta Cole, former president of Spelman College Academic service learning is a great concept through which students go outside the classroom and into the community to apply what they have been learning. It can assist to open individual's eyes to opportunities that they might have missed, and aid them to keep an open mind or facilitate opening it up to new ideas. This is what happened to me when I began volunteering at the Jackson County Free Health Clinic (JCFHC). At JCFHC, members of Kappa Epsilon and the APhA–Academy of Student Pharmacists help patients complete paperwork required for the different patient assistance programs. These programs enable them to receive free medications from pharmaceutical companies. The patients must first be evaluated by the physicians at the clinic for assessment and orders. Afterward, the pharmacy students assist the patients with the applications for prescribed medication, make copies of income documentation, and submit all the paperwork. Medications generally arrive 3 to 6 weeks later. The students then contact the patients to notify them of the medication arrival and answer any medication-related questions, with the oversight of a faculty clinician, and troubleshoot the few paperwork problems or application rejects that occur. This program started in late 2000. In the bustle of everyday activity at the clinic, we have rarely had time to stop and reflect on the scope and impact of our services. However, we have helped almost 300 patients obtain approximately 2,500 prescriptions with a value of $490,000, in this short time period. We are always seeking opportunities to expand our program to help the patients. An example of this occurred in 2001. We received a grant to provide supplies to our patients with diabetes, including blood glucose testing machines, test strips, and lancets. For the patients to be eligible for the supplies, they had to first attend a diabetes education class. Our efforts to develop that class were successful, and we are now working on educational programs on asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders, hypertension, and weight loss. The students may have begun volunteering because it was the right thing to do, but years later many are going back every week because the patients are contributing to their growth both as professionals and as people. The more the we learn, the more we can apply those lessions in our communities to help patients who may need a little direction in where to go or how to get started in helping themselves. Researchers of best practices in pharmacy, medication use policy, and social and behavioral determinants of medication and professional services outcomes have traditionally had a limited number of venues wherein their work could be published. This is especially true among scientists operating at the theoretical level, building and testing various models and assumptions that may lead later to the development of effective programs, innovations, and guidelines. On behalf of its editorial advisory board, I am pleased to announce the launch of a new journal, titled Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy (RSAP). With upwardly spiraling health care costs, persistent evidence of medication non-adherence, job turnover, acute manpower shortages among health care professionals involved in the medication use process, and a dearth of effective evidence-based medication use policies, the need for quality papers describing research in these areas is critical. Unfortunately, much of the excellent work presented as abstracts at professional and scientific meetings never get written up as full research articles for publication. The limited number of venues in which to publish may disenfranchise authors. Moreover, knowing that his/her career depends upon successful scholarship, a perceived inability to publish the end results of certain projects may discourage researchers even from getting some projects off the ground. Thus, RSAP is not seen as competing with JAPhA and other journals for the same manuscripts, but rather, as one means of growing the total number of manuscripts published in the areas of pharmacy practice and medication use. The journal will be published by Elsevier, a worldwide leader in scientific and academic publishing. The aim of the journal is to advance professions involved in the medication use process and the patients they serve through dissemination of results from high quality scientific work. RSAP will be published quarterly until the volume of manuscripts dictates that it be published more frequently. Unlike JAPhA, the journal is not expressly affiliated with a particular organization or association, and as such, will feature predominately research and reviews, with fewer features, letters, and other departments. As pharmacists, our role as drug experts is constantly evolving and expanding. We are purveyors of pharmaceutical information to aid physicians and nurses, in addition to relatives, neighbors, and friends who may also view us as more accessible—and less expensive—than their physicians. Thanks to the accessibility of the Internet and direct-to-consumer advertising on television and in magazines, more people are self-diagnosing ailments and identifying therapies to treat them. As patients enter our pharmacies and telephones ring with questions from providers, we must be prepared to advise, educate, and when necessary, intervene to prevent harm. To accomplish these tasks, pharmacists need timely, accurate, accessible information. I developed an easy-to-read chart that pharmacists may use to answer a variety of drug information questions posed by health care professionals and patients (see Table 1). Texts listed are likely to be found in pharmacies or hospital libraries. All online resources listed can be accessed free of charge (some require registration) and are accessible from any Internet-capable computer. An endless array of other published sources are available, in addition to many more online resources that are free of charge or require paid subscriptions (such as Lexi-Comp and Micromedex). However, this chart provides a ready reference that has assisted me in my quest for information and reduced my time and effort involved in researching drug information questions.Table 1No-Cost References Useful for Pharmacists Who Are Accessing Drug Information Disclaimer: This table should not be viewed as endorsement of any product/service by any government agency." @default.
