Abstract

improve patient outcome and patient care, in order to support a hospital pharmacy CTF legislation process in the European Union. Material and methods We identified 70 publications based on data up to 2010 from our previous study 1 and were evaluated with indepth assessment regarding pharmacists' qualifications. Results Forty (57%) publications had sufficient information on the qualifications of pharmacists and an additional 7 (10%) papers had partial information. Of the papers with detailed information on pharmacists' qualifications, 30 (43%) defined the pharmacists as 'clinical pharmacists' having additional training. Other qualifications were mentioned, such as intensive care, pain, oncology, paediatric, internal medicine and infectious diseases specialised pharmacists, that also verified the importance of postgraduate training. Further information on the qualifications of pharmacists were included in additional training to highlight their competency in clinical services. The publications provided evidence of the positive effect of pharmaceutical interventions for patient outcomes in many fields, including internal medicine, acute care medicine, oncology, paediatrics and surgery, also demonstrating the economic benefits of the interventions. Conclusion and relevance Clear evidence was provided that only qualified pharmacists with a postgraduate education can provide the correct services to patients and consequently improve their outcomes, similar to other professions (physicians and nurses) in the healthcare system.

Reflexiones sobre la incidencia de la salud mental en los pacientes con diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial con miras al uso de dispositivos móviles en telesalud

“…A su vez, un estudio realizado por Alfaro et al en Colombia, en el que se incluyeron pacientes psiquiátricos diagnos�cados con trastornos clínicos como ansiedad, depresión y trastorno afec�vo bipolar, se encontró que, estos trastornos conservan una relación estrecha con valores de presión arterial altos. Aunque, consideran que la enfermedad mental por sí sola, no predispone a la HTA, al menos en pacientes con diagnós�cos de ansiedad, depresión y estrés (15). Dado que la población es propensa a padecer algún �po de alteración emocional, el cual puede repercu�r en la homeostasis tanto en los pacientes diagnos�cados con HTA como en aquellos que son hipertensos no diagnos�cados, se da oportunidad de implementar métodos de evaluación predic�va por parte de los profesionales en salud a través de la implementación de programas innovadores de telemedicina dirigidos a la población en general a modo de educar a los pacientes y cuidadores en cuanto al conocimiento, empoderamiento y manejo de la HTA y las posibles patologías derivadas de esta, como serían los trastornos mentales menores, considerando las medidas preven�vas como una alterna�va que favorezca la vida saludable sin que se vean afectadas las emociones las cuales son necesarias para su control.…”
