The term "clinical pharmacy" has come to describe a wide range of pharmacy practices that occur in a variety of settings, including health-systems, community pharmacies, clinics, pharmaceutical industry, and government agencies. Clinical Pharmacy incorporates the patient-oriented practices of pharmaceutical care as well as drug policy management, research, education and many other aspects within the field. As the scope of clinical pharmacy has grown, it has been less easy to capture in a simple definition. The range of topics included in the Encyclopedia of Clinical Pharmacy attest to the complexity and expansion of the clinical pharmacy practice.
