    • Best practices documents
    • Pharmaceutical software development
    • Legal controversies, ethical issues, and court rulings
    • Drug dosing and electronic prescription

    • Quality management procedures
    • Educational and training programs

    Compiling expertise and recommendations from the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the Encyclopedia unravels the increasing complexity of pharmacotherapy, the problems of medication-related morbidity and mortality, and the impact that clinically empowered pharmacists have on assuring safe and effective pharmaceutical care for patients.
