| Sumario: | Nurses perform a significant role as professional practitioners in the healthcare system, particularly providing the Palliative Home Care Services (PHCS). PHCS is a continuum of medical and social services which support the needs of patients living with chronic medical conditions or severe disabilities. Most of the time, they shall engage with patients and their family members in the absence of physicians or pharmacists. They shall assist them to go through their daily routines with physical help and support. Foremost, they shall help their patients to consume medications as being prescribed. For that reason, they need an advanced approach to assist them to provide a quality and excellent PHCS. Therefore, this article shall highlight a tool is known as STARZ-DRP as a potential modus operandi to maneuver them to make an accurate and quick triaging-decision as well as identify the actual or potential drug-related problems. It is to be hoped that the tool shall enhance the image of nurses as healthcare providers. |
