This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.

Download or read book A Brief History of Pharmacy written by Bob Zebroski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacy has become an integral part of our lives. Nearly half of all 300 million Americans take at least one prescription drug daily, accounting for $250 billion per year in sales in the US alone. And this number doesn't even include the over-the-counter medications or health aids that are taken. How did this practice become such an essential part of our lives and our health? A Brief History of Pharmacy: Humanity's Search for Wellness aims to answer that question. As this short overview of the practice shows, the search for well-being through the ingestion or application of natural products and artificially derived compounds is as old as humanity itself. From the Mesopotamians to the corner drug store, Bob Zebroski describes how treatments were sought, highlights some of the main victories of each time period, and shows how we came to be people who rely on drugs to feel better, to live longer, and look younger. This accessible survey of pharmaceutical history is essential reading for all students of pharmacy.

Download or read book Pharmacy in World War II written by Dennis B Worthen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-05-07 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get an inside look at the lives of military and civilian pharmacists during wartime! Pharmacy in World War II is a comprehensive history of American pharmacy, both in the military and on the home front, from 1941 to 1945. The book provides a unique insight into the profession, the practice, and its practitioners through the memories of those who served as pharmacist mates, corpsmen, or civilian pharmacists. Through accounts recorded in publications, stored in archives, or told first-hand, you’ll learn about the fight to establish an Army Pharmacy Corps, the work of the Selective Service committees to preserve an adequate pool of pharmacists for civilian practice, the bond drives that would buy hospital airplanes and trains, and a great deal more. Pharmacy in World War II also looks at the organizational, economic, educational, professional, and societal issues that molded pharmacy during a watershed in modern American history. Author Dennis B. Worthen, editor-in-chief of Haworth’s Pharmaceutical Heritage book series, compiled a database of more than 11,000 pharmacists, pharmacy students, and veterans in pharmacy school during wartime as part of the “Memories Project” that recalls the activities of the professional, trade, and educational institutions of pharmacy, their goals and development, and their interactions, agreements, and differences. The book examines the fight for an Army Pharmacy Corps, shortages and rationing on the home front, manpower shortages, the impact of the Selective Service, and the prevalent attitude in the military that pharmacy was a business, not a learned profession, and that pharmaceutical services could be learned with 90 days of training. Pharmacy in World War II includes memories of: pharmacy in the pre-World War II years pharmacy education the Selective Service the drugstore’s role in the war effort the Pharmacy Corps returning veterans The book also includes photographs and images as well as appendices listing colleges and schools of pharmacy, Selective Service pharmacy advisory committees, pharmacy organizations and leaders, extracts from Army medical departments supply catalogs, and pharmacists and pharmacy students who died in the war. Pharmacy in World War II is an invaluable document for pharmacy students, practitioners, and educators, and for students of American history.

Download or read book The Shocking Truth about Pharmacy written by Dennis Miller and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this explosive new book, Dennis Miller pulls the curtain wide open and exposes many previously hidden facts that are downright terrifying about pharmacy, drugs, pharmacists and chain drug stores. This is the first-ever in-depth expose'' of pharmacy written by a pharmacist. The author takes readers behind the prescription counter and reveals a wide range of critical insights that are not available anywhere else. This is an extremely important and urgently needed book for both pharmacists and the general public. It can--and should--permanently change the world of pills. It is a long overdue expose'' of the lies, hype, deceptions, distortions, and magical thinking that are so pervasive in this field. Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) sets a minimum price for paperback books using this publishing platform. The minimum price that KDP allows for this 430-page paperback book is $10.02. The author receives no royalties for the paperback version of this book. It is the author''s hope that price is not a limiting factor in the decision to read this book. The author is not interested in profiting financially from this book. The author hopes that this book prompts a widespread discussion of the critical issues regarding pharmacists, pharmaceuticals, pharmacy and, indeed, the viability of the profession. The author is not aware of any other book on the market that exposes the shocking truth from the perspective of a pharmacist. This book includes dozens of e-mails the author received from pharmacists as a result of his commentaries for nearly two decades in Drug Topics, one of the most popular magazines for pharmacists. These pharmacists'' e-mails reveal a very disturbing side of pharmacy about which the public is almost certainly unaware. With pharmaceuticals playing such a pivotal role in American society, the public urgently needs to understand how pharmacists have been complicit in legitimizing and promoting pill solutions for every conceivable health or medical problem. Pharmacy customers often say things like this to pharmacists: "I''m not sure whether I really want to take this drug my doctor prescribed. What do you think? Do you think it''s safe?" Pharmacy customers need to understand pharmacists'' attitudes and biases to fully appreciate the very wide variety of responses. Some of the issues discussed in this book include: What do pharmacists really think about the drugs they dispense? Have pharmacists swallowed Big Pharma''s Kool-Aid? Why are so many pharmacists disillusioned? Why pharmacy often resembles a religion or cult. Should pharmacists be more transparent about the risks versus benefits of pills? Are pharmacists as positive and supportive of drugs in conversations with close friends and family in comparison to discussions with customers? Do pharmacists take more (or fewer) pills than our customers? Do pharmacists feel that Americans are overmedicated (or grossly overmedicated)? Do pharmacists feel pressure from chain drug store corporate management to be basically positive and supportive toward drugs and to downplay adverse effects? Do pharmacists agree with Pharma''s overwhelmingly mechanistic and reductionist approach toward illness? What causes many pharmacists to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat? Do pharmacists feel that pharmacy school focuses too heavily on molecules, cells and chemistry rather than on the health of the whole person? Why are pharmacists silent about the uneven quality with some generic drugs? Do pharmacists feel that many of our customers would be healthier spending their money at a farmers market rather than at a drug store? Are pharmacists nagged by the concern that they are supporting and legitimizing a model of health based disproportionately on pills rather than prevention?
