Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The community pharmacist is unique among health care providers in that he or she interacts with a wide variety of people every day, giving them enough opportunities to raise patients' levels of self-awareness and provide guidance toward healthier lifestyle choices. This project detailed the duties of several authorized committees and administrations, some of which were excellent and others of which were subpar. There has to be more work done by community pharmacists to help improve health care, but integrated care where they provide clinical pharmacy services while dispensing may make a big difference. From December 2021 until the end of May 2022, online surveys were conducted. The pharmacists' understanding of patient safety culture was evaluated using a community pharmacy questionnaire. The results showed that of all the areas examined, patient counseling had the greatest level of positive awareness (23–59%), and yet only 18% of pharmacists regularly educate patients of important information about their new prescriptions, which is a very low response rate.
