Medication Management

The Ontario College of Pharmacists wants a meeting with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to discuss doctors it says are refusing to process MedsCheck paperwork and making social media posts that ‘denigrate pharmacists’ expanded scope of practice.’

In my experience with advocacy, I have found that often policy makers have a limited understanding of how the intended and unintended consequences will impact patient care. Concepts, rules, policies, and procedures developed in a theoretical sense, without practical input, can be ineffective at best and more often detrimental.
