“…While it found considerable room for improvement, pharmacy staff were not included in this study, which is symptomatic of the traditional healthcare structures, where pharmacists are strongly associated with more traditional roles such as logistics, procurement and production and less so with medication and patient safety [31]. This is mirrored in many other central European countries who are equally struggling to evolve into more patient facing roles [32,33]. As a result, countries need to invest in stakeholder analysis studies to identify how competency frameworks can be implemented into existing national healthcare structures and education.…”

Background Despite the publication of a European wide competency framework for hospital pharmacy by the European Association of Hospital Pharmacist (EAHP) in 2017, not all countries have adopted and implemented such a framework. Aim This study aimed to develop and validate a bespoke national hospital pharmacy competency framework that supports the hospital pharmacy workforce development. Method A multi-method study was carried out in three phases. (I) A systematic literature review across 48 websites of healthcare-related associations and six scientific databases was conducted, resulting in competency frameworks, guidelines and related documents. Eligibility screening was conducted by two researchers independently (JS/AEW) using the PRISMA standard. (II) Extracted behaviour competencies were reviewed for contextual national appropriateness by three researchers (JS/BBM/AEW) prior to mapping against the “Patient Care and Clinical Pharmacy Skills” domain of European Common Training Framework (CTF). (III) Validation of the resultant draft clinical skills competency framework took place by an expert panel discussion. Reporting of findings is aligned with the recommendations for reporting Competency Framework Development in health professions (CONFERD-HP guidelines) and the PRISMA 2020 checklist. Results The systematic review (SR) resulted in 28 frameworks, guidelines and related documents and the identification of 379 behaviour competencies, with nineteen mapped to the “Patient Care and Clinical Pharmacy Skills” domain of the CTF (after removal of duplicates). Expert panel discussion resulted in suggested changes to ensure contextual national appropriateness. Conclusion This multi-method approach resulted in the development and validation of the first clinical national pharmacy competency framework for Austria. Future studies should focus on political and practical structures necessary for its successful implementation.

“…In this context, social safety correlated with the economic effect on action creates the success of the pharmaceutical business, considered as a result of balancing socio-economic objectives [53]. The value bundle thus created gives rise to a high capitalisation of the company [54], reinforcing the economic effect globally [55]. Particularly distinctive effects are obtained in areas touching on specific dimensions of health security [56], i.e., those with a strategic dimension in global health policy [57,58], where the recently explored challenge of finding a vaccine, or a cure for COVID-19, may serve as an example [59].…”

The strategy of creating value and increasing the competitiveness of economic entities under the idea of sustainable development entails the need to provide access to up-to-date knowledge, which is to strengthen the decision-making basis and increase the level of properties of economic decisions. This argument strengthens the legitimacy of undertaking a research problem, oriented towards an overview of contemporary business challenges in the light of sustainable development, to assess the direction of activities undertaken by enterprises in the economic and socio-environmental sphere in connection with their activities. The need to undertake sustainable activities—with an emphasis on the environmental aspect—is particularly relevant to the pharmaceutical industry, which, in implementing activities oriented towards the protection of human health and life in connection with drug production, treats the issue of concern for the health of the planet as an extremely important challenge. The literature on the subject generally and insufficiently discusses sustainability issues for companies operating in this industry. Recognising the pharmaceutical sector as an area of economy of key importance in the socio-economic dimension at the level of national economies and at the international level, it became reasonable to scientifically identify the indicated issues in relation to pharmaceutical industry enterprises, with particular emphasis on entities operating in Poland. Hence, the main aim of the study, in response to the diagnosed gap, was to assess the directions of improvement of business models of Polish pharmaceutical enterprises, with consideration given to determinants of sustainable development. This study draws attention to the significance of practical choices of pharmaceutical entities—determined by their activity strategy, on sustainable development, as well as the impact of performance on the practice of sustainable development in the light of the assessment of the companies’ managerial effectiveness, demonstrating their significant importance. The realisation of the objective was based on a thorough review of the literature on the topic explored, as well as on the results of a diagnostic survey conducted among Polish pharmaceutical companies. An in-depth analysis of the findings in the area explored was conducted using statistical testing, including statistical ordering of variables, variable correlation matrix, logistic regression, odds ratio, and PQstat software. The main conclusion of the study is the finding that the business models of Polish pharmaceutical enterprises are continuously improving towards increasing the level of sustainable development, and the main determinant for the realisation of the above is the development of innovation, strongly correlated with the category of particularly good results on operations, constituting their managerial effectiveness.

“…The study found that there are variations within terminology and definitions, frameworks for specialization and advanced practice, professional recognition mechanisms and benefits across countries. Despite the variances, it is clear that professional advancement and the recognition of advancement in practice are developing around the world and this could be due to the increasingly complex nature of pharmaceutical care delivery and a consequent need to be able to endorse professional capabilities [10]. Patient centered pharmacy education initiated in the USA with PharmD model has partially replicated in some other countries, and the largest changes occurred after graduation.…”

“…In contrast, there was a significant variation in the level of implementation of patient-specific clinical pharmacy activities among hospital classes. With activities such as medication counselling, monitoring of adverse drug reactions, and obtaining patient's medication histories provided at a considerably lower level in between 49 and 57% of hospitals [10].…”

Background: Since the early 21 st Century, pharmacy practice has experienced critical changes diversely worldwide. This paper reviewed studies aimed at the development of pharmacy education and practice during the last 10 years in Vietnam.Methods: Analyse data from official sources including Pubmed, Government website, University's website and books. Results:The results showed that Vietnam has taken great strides in the legal regulation of clinical pharmacy operations, which are considered a patient-centered pharmacy activity. However, the practice of clinical pharmacy in hospitals, especially direct patient care services, is very limited. Although patient-centered subjects have been added in teaching curricula, the clinical practice experiences of pharmacist students in hospitals have not been addressed. Conclusion:Vietnam has built a favorable environment for clinical pharmacy practice and education; however, the pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists remain very limited, especially in the hospital setting.
