Your primary source for information on the legal issues of pharmaceutical practice, care, and activity

Today’s pharmacist is faced with legal, ethical, and moral concerns in making the transition from traditional pharmacy practice to an expanded role in clinical pharmacy and patient drug management services. Pharmacy Law Desk Reference is a primer on the legal aspects of pharmaceutical practice, providing background on foundational legal concepts, and guidance on the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), and the Federal Trade Commission. This unique book examines the major topics that impact pharmaceutical care, including professional liability insurance; the need for supportive personnel in pharmacy practice; patent law, trademarks, and copyrights; law and ethics; business law; HIPAA privacy in the pharmacy; electronic prescribing; and medication error reporting. Handy tables, figures, and exhibits make complex information easy to access and understand.

The better pharmacists understand the regulatory and legislative framework that shapes their practice, the better they will be able to carry out their responsibilities to patients. Pharmacy Law Desk Reference offers a broad scope on established legal subjects, the current direction of the profession, and important contemporary topics that affect the clinical role of the practicing pharmacist. Each chapter is authored by a nationally recognized authority on one or more aspect of pharmacy law and many of the contributors are active in the American Society of Pharmacy Law.

Topics addressed in Pharmacy Law Desk Reference include:

telepharmacy

collaborative drug therapy management

trade secrets and trade secret protection

anti-competitive practices

Reviews for Pharmacy Law Desk Reference

offers an excellent read for anyone who wants to understand the basics of echocardiography - with clear illustrated examplesI found the book very easy to read and wish it had been around when I started to learn the techniques. Generalists who seek a working knowledge of echocardiography will appreciate the focus on clinical problem-solving. I recommend this book, with its uncomplicated style, to any healthcare professional or student who wished to get a grip on these ubiquitous investigations. - B.
