Advancing Integrated Services
FIP Development Goal 7 Education & Workforce Element
Globally, we will have:
A patient-centred and integrated health services foundation for workforce development, relevant to social determinants
of health and needs-based approaches to workforce development.
Mechanisms
- Systematic development of education and training activities based on local healthcare systems, their capacity and funding.
- Evidence of systematic development policies and strategies for the strengthening and transforming pharmaceutical workforce education and the systematic training of trainers and educators.
- Education providers must ensure, by the provision of evidence-based approaches, that lecturers, teachers and trainers are themselves appropriately trained for capability and competency.
- Enable the pharmaceutical workforce and key stakeholders to promote health equity through actions related to social determinants of health.
FIP Development Goal 7 Practice Element
Globally, we will have:
A people-centred and integrated health care provision that is based on an interprofessional and cross- setting seamless continuum including pharmacist-delivered professional services.
Mechanisms
- Define clear processes and procedures for developing and delivering integrated, needs-based services in practice and across all health care settings.
- Develop and implement systems for the design, delivery and evaluation of such services in primary, secondary, tertiary, and urgent and emergency care services.
- Recognise that people-centred integrated quality health services are the foundation for optimal clinical, humanistic, economic and sustainable health care outcomes.
- Clearly identify patient and population needs that support the development and delivery of pharmaceutical services that are relevant to health needs.
- Ensure capacity to deliver interprofessional integrated services during humanitarian crises, disasters and emergency situations.
- Ensure collaborative working with others within the pharmacy team and other health care providers especially through transitions of care and lifespan care.
- Implement quality measures of all outcomes of health care, from an integrated, holistic perspective, which take into account the Person’s Journey.
FIP Development Goal 7 Science Element
Globally, we will have:
Scientific strategies to evaluate expanded professional pharmacy services and programmes, including translational and reverse-translational research.
Mechanisms
- Create evidence of team-based, interdisciplinary science.
- Establish a forum to facilitate translational and reverse translational research, with the goal to expand pharmaceutical services and drive innovative research.
- Foster collaboration between pharmaceutical scientists and pharmacists to evaluate advanced services and help document the value added to healthcare systems.
