Literature Review: The impact of clinical pharmacy services on patient outcomes in chronic disease management

Clinical pharmacy services have increasingly become part of healthcare systems for chronic condition management like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. These include medication therapy management, patient counseling, therapeutic drug monitoring, and care coordination with other health professionals. This review covers clinical outcomes, medication compliance, and healthcare use among patients with chronic illness as they are affected by clinical pharmacy interventions. The evidence indicates that clinical pharmacists significantly impact therapeutic results, hospital readmissions, and quality of life among patients. Incorporation of clinical pharmacy services within primary health care models is thus imperative to maximizing chronic diseases management.
