有临床药学的定义么？

我们都是做临床药学的，到底什么是临床药学，有没有比较权威的概念和定义呢？

确实是目前国内临床药学界讨论的热点和焦点所在。所谓临床药学，就是以病人为中心，由专职的临床药学技术人员（即临床药师），与临床医护人员组成医疗团队。临床药师为这个医疗团队的药品治疗负责，主要从事药学信息咨询、医嘱的协助制订、血药浓度监测、不良反应事件分析及报告、对重点病人的药学监护、用药教育、基于临床实践的药学科研等一系列内容。

临床药学的学科目的是推进合理用药，提高病人以及公众的健康水平。
科研也好，实践也好，形式大可不必太在乎.........只在乎目的........呵呵

——一家之言。

临床药学的概念：以病人为对象研究药物及其剂型与机体相互作用和应用规律的综合性学科，旨在用客观科学指标来研究具体病人的合理用药。其核心问题是最大限度地发挥药物的临床疗效，确保病人的用药安全与合理。

谢了！总算找到相对合理的答案了。

Clinical pharmacy is the branch of Pharmacy where pharmacists provide patient care that optimizes the use of medication and promotes health, wellness, and disease prevention.[1] Clinical pharmacists care for patients in all health care settings but the clinical pharmacy movement initially began inside hospitals and clinics. Clinical pharmacists often collaborate with physicians and other healthcare professionals.

Clinical pharmacists have extensive education in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, sociobehavioral and clinical sciences. Most clinical pharmacists have a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree and many have completed one or more years of post-graduate training (e.g. a general and/or specialty pharmacy residency). Many clinical pharmacists also choose to become Board Certified through the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) which was organized in 1976 as an independent certification agency of APhA (American Pharmacists Association). A pharmacist may become a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS), a Board Certified Oncology Pharmacist (BCOP), Board Certified Nuclear Pharmacist (BCNP), Board Certified Nutrition Support Pharmacist (BCNSP), a Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP), or a Board Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist (BCACP) through the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS). There are also subspecialties within the Pharmacotherapy specialty: Cardiology and Infectious Disease. It is denoted as an "Added Qualification" or AQ. In order to obtain one of these specialties you must first be a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) and then submit a portfolio to the Board of Pharmacy Specialties for review to determine if they will grant you the added qualifications.[2] An up-to-date explanation of pharmacy education leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree and Specialty Board Certification can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvPb5peBnAY.

Within the system of health care, clinical pharmacists are experts in the therapeutic use of medications. They routinely provide medication therapy evaluations and recommendations to patients and other health care professionals. Clinical pharmacists are a primary source of scientifically valid information and advice regarding the safe, appropriate, and cost-effective use of medications.[3] Clinical pharmacists are also making themselves more readily available to the public. In the past, access to a clinical pharmacist was limited to hospitals, clinics, or educational institutions. However, clinical pharmacists are making themselves available through a medication information hotline, and reviewing medication lists, all in an effort to prevent medication errors in the foreseeable future. In the UK, clinical pharmacists are routinely involved in the direct care of patients within hospitals, and increasingly, in doctors surgeries. They also develop post registration professional education, professional curricula for workforce development, provide expertise on the use of medicines to national organisations such as NICE, the Department of Health and the MHRA, and develop medicines guidelines for use in therapeutic areas.

Clinical pharmacists interact directly with patients in several different ways. They use their knowledge of medication (including dosage, drug interactions, side effects, expense, effectiveness, etc.) to determine if a medication plan is appropriate for their patient. If it is not, the pharmacist will consult the primary physician to ensure that the patient is on the proper medication plan.[4] The pharmacist also works to educate their patients on the importance of taking and finishing their medications.

In some states, clinical pharmacists are given prescriptive authority under protocol with a medical provider (i.e., MD or DO), and their scope of practice is constantly evolving.[5][6][7] In the United Kingdom clinical pharmacists are given independent prescriptive authority.
