Extract
The publication of the first edition of this text marked a milestone in our understanding of the importance of integrative approaches to improving population health, linking public health directly to pharmacy practice in ways not considered previously. Since that time, substantive and, in some cases, disruptive changes in the health care environment have demonstrated the importance of collaborative approaches in addressing the complexities of disease surveillance, services delivery, and responses to emergent and persistent health problems. Public health has become ever more significant with increased globalization of the marketplace, changing disease transmission patterns, and continued human interference in the ecosystem creating environmental hazards and different patterns of natural disasters. These forces challenge us to think differently about how we promote healthy communities, leading us to further consider how health care professionals can contribute to solutions to increasingly complex health conditions.
Pharmacists are among the most visible and accessible group of health professionals, and, as such, they are uniquely positioned to educate the public on disease prevention and health promotion. They can facilitate the transmission of important health information, monitor the responses of providers and consumers to that information, and correct misinformation regarding treatment options, medications, and alternative therapies. Pharmacists are also integral components of interdisciplinary health care teams, providing additional perspectives on patient care and medication management. However, to keep pace with the fields of public health and pharmacy requires pharmacists to be aware of the literature examining integrative and global perspectives.
