Evaluating the Role of Clinical Pharmacists in Oncology: A Systematic Review of Interventions and Patient Outcomes
Abstract
Purpose: The primary goal of this review is to assess the impact of clinical pharmacists on cancer treatment outcomes, specifically focusing on patient quality of life, treatment adherence, and the reduction of adverse events. A secondary goal is to identify specific interventions or activities that have the most significant effects in cancer care settings.
Methods: Conduct a comprehensive search across databases include PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. Use keywords like “clinical pharmacist in oncology,” “oncology pharmacist interventions,” “pharmacist role in cancer treatment,” and “patient outcomes in oncology.” This research will assist identify evidence-based approaches that improve oncology patient outcomes and advance a greater understanding of the critical role pharmacists play in cancer treatment.
Conclusion: Available evidence suggests that outpatient oncology practices may benefit from integrating pharmacists into care models in order to more effectively, efficiently, and holistically address the needs of patients with cancer.
