Ideas for organization[edit]
I'm thinking about these categories:
- Lead paragraph: summarize. Address why this must be different than prescription drug counseling (due to the amount of info required from the Pt).
- History: talk about the history of OTC counseling. Have pharmacists always done it? How has it changed?
- Technique
- Communication: discuss the communication skills employed. E.g. open vs. closed ended questions, empathy, tone of voice, vocab (Pt-friendly language), etc.
- Strategies: discuss APhA's QuEST communication process.
- Evidence: are there any reviews about studies on OTC counseling? Does it improve healthcare outcomes?
- Perspective
- Patients: how do Pts perceive OTC counseling? Do they see it as helpful, or unnecessary?
- Physicians: how do physicians perceive OTC counseling? Is it helpful, or taking away business? Do they refer to pharmacists for this?
- References
- External Links: perhaps we can find some interesting resources for pharmacists.
