According to a study released last week in the Journal of Asthma, patients want their pharmacist more involved in their asthma care.
According to the study, patients said they:
- Basic information about asthma and medications
- Lung function testing information
- How to best monitor their asthma
- Instruction/ demonstration/ correction of inhaler technique
Patients stated they would be more loyal to pharmacies providing these services and would participate in care delivered by pharmacies, but interestingly they were not asked if they would be willing to pay more for these services. What do you think about your pharmacy? Would you like more asthma services delivered there? Do you have any concerns? Leave a comment and tell us what you think.
