Notes

"This Handbook is a product of OpenLab's Stuff Patients Want initiative. Stuff Patients Want is a participatory design initiative in which patients come together to share health care experiences they find frustrating. These patients are then armed with the tools (e.g. design, production)they need to bring their practical and inspired solutions to life. Stuff Patients Want is carried out in the Scandinavian participatory design tradition, driven by the idea that the people destined to use a product or service should play a critical role in designing it, and characterized by active collaboration between users and designers throughout the participatory process."

Abstract

"Incidence of cancer is increasing all over the world and personalized therapies have become the trend in cancer therapy. Multidisciplinary approaches provide successful results for personalized therapies. As a part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team, oncology pharmacists (OPs) contribute to the rational use of chemotherapy by providing individual pharmaceutical care for cancer patients. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for the success of cancer therapy. Pharmacists acting as a counsellor for medication-related issues in the multidisciplinary team have a vital role in the oncology setting. OPs are the clinical pharmacists specialized in oncology and they are involved in planning and implementation of pharmaceutical care. Additionally, OPs play an important role in providing comprehensive medication management and related care for cancer patients. We hope that this book will contribute to pharmacists' knowledge and practice in cancer management by provision of a clinical pharmacist's perspective." --publisher
