Warfarin and Pharmacogenomic Testing: What Would Pascal Do?

Author: J. Russell Teagarden, M.A.

Pharmaceutical care doctrine holds that it is the pharmacist’s responsibility to ensure that medication use improves a patient’s quality of life by producing definite therapeutic outcomes. Thus far, discourses on pharmaceutical care have focused primarily on the clinical aspects of medication use by patients. The doctrine should now, however, be expanded to accommodate pharmacy benefit management roles of pharmacists, as such roles support the principles of pharmaceutical care, and represent many of those roles that constitute contemporary clinical pharmacy practice.
