Patient assessment tools: utilizing diagnostic and monitoring devices.

Ellington TM, Stolte S.

Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University, Winchester, Va., USA.

Pharmacists are becoming increasingly involved in the detection and monitoring of chronic disease states. A growing number of chronic diseases can be screened and monitored by pharmacists, including diabetes, dyslipidemias, hypertension, and osteoporosis. Devices for screening and monitoring are becoming less complex and more convenient, allowing for greater use in pharmacies and, in many cases, for patients use at home. The provision of pharmacist-led assessment services is becoming more widely accepted by patients, physicians, and some third-party payers.
