The aim of this work is to analyze the current state of pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions, considering interprofessional approaches to develop a strategy for implementing multidisciplinary teamwork among doctors, pharmacists, and patients.
Materials and Methods. The study presents the results of an anonymous online survey of pharmacists working in pharmacies (n = 110) to assess compliance with pharmacist protocols, the current state of pharmaceutical care, and involvement in interprofessional interaction within the treatment process. Data were expanded by ESC/AHA clinical recommendations, scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed), and international and domestic regulatory documents. Methods applied include comparative analysis, generalization, deduction, induction, systematization, and forecasting.
Results and Discussion. The study documents individualized approaches to providing pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD, emphasizing the importance of active dialogue. It highlights the need for additional regulatory measures to enhance patient-centered team approaches and to improve pharmacists' competencies through continuous professional development (CPD).
Conclusions. Interprofessional collaboration between doctors and pharmacists is primarily observed between pharmacists in municipally owned pharmacies and healthcare institutions. Pharmacists in chain pharmacies are less frequently involved in providing pharmaceutical care. Future research should focus on integrating the entire treatment process for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions within the triad of “doctor–patient–pharmacist.”
