Encyclopedia of Clinical PharmacyTemporarily Unavailable 12/18/2009 Full text of Encyclopedia of Clinical Pharmacy Edited by Joseph T. DiPiro, published in 2002, with occasional updates. Over 200 researchers and practitioners provide ready access to more than 5,000 primary literature citations and hard-to-find research on gene therapy; health service delivery models; best practices documents; pharmaceutical software development; legal controversies, ethical issues, and court rulings; drug dosing and electronic prescription; postmarketing surveillance; generic equivalency; quality management procedures; educational and training programs. 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. For USC users only. Requires USC network connection.
