The foundation for the pharmacist’s patient care process is embedded within the pharmaceutical care model developed by Hepler and Strand in the 1990s. However, there is variability in how this process is taught and practiced. To promote consistency across the profession, national pharmacy associations used a consensus-based approach to articulate the patient care process for pharmacists to use as a framework for delivering patient care in any practice setting.
