BACKGROUND AND FOUNDATION: Therapeutics Case Studies (RX 403) is a companion course to Therapeutics 1 (RX 413), and is the first in a series of four courses that focus on the process of caring for patients using standardized treatment strategies that ensure quality care. The Case Studies courses guide students to develop the skills required to identify and resolve drug-related problems through the use of patient case scenarios. The courses involve students in active learning and promote the development of self-directed learning. The case discussion allows simulation, problem analysis, decision-making, oral communication and teamwork. The case discussions are as much about the process of solving patient-related health problems as about the actual answers. In fact, many times there are several possible solutions to the problem. A necessary skill for all clinicians to develop is the ability to summarize the relevant information and to direct their attention to the important aspects of the cases. Case discussions will facilitate development of these skills as well.

The CARE PLAN process for pharmacists is a systematic method that is used to identify, prioritize, resolve and prevent drug-therapy problems. There are several methods for documenting clinical interventions and communicating findings with other health professionals. In the initial Case Studies courses, students will use the S-O-A-P system to develop expanded notes in the form of a care plan. Students will use the care plan format to delineate their steps in developing patient plans that ensure that both the non-drug and drug therapy needs of the patient are met. The emphasis in this course will be on using the subjective and objective data from the case to IDENTIFY and PRIORITIZE the problems presented in the case, and then begin to ASSESS and RECOMMEND treatment for drug-related problems. In addition, drug information skills will be applied throughout this course. (Please see the separate document, Drug information Related Expectations for Case Studies, for a detailed description of minimum expectations.) When preparing individualized patient care plans, be sure to evaluate all medication regimens for potential drug interactions, using one of the drug information databases identified. Databases are also useful to determine appropriate dosing regimens and to predict/prevent/manage drug induced problems. Also, always consider cost when making recommendation regarding drug therapy.

The activities in Therapeutics Case Studies further students’ liberal arts education by providing an environment in which facts about disease states and pharmaceutical agents are applied to solve problems related to patient care. This problem-solving requires students to use critical thinking and scientific inquiry in both cooperative groups and as individuals.


 * 1) *Apply knowledge and skills to make appropriate decisions regarding the safe and effective use of medication or the need for referral to other health care providers. These decisions should include consideration of social, economic, and cultural factors.
 * 2) *Find, understand, analyze, evaluate and use information to make informed and rational decisions.
 * 3) *Effectively communicate pharmaceutical and health-related information and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure the provision of quality patient care
 * 4) *Practice independent learning and modify ideas and behaviors based on newly acquired knowledge
 * 5) *Demonstrate ethical conduct in personal and professional settings and respect and exhibit empathy for patients’ differences, values, and preferences
 * 6) *Promote health improvement, wellness and disease prevention.


 * 1) *Assemble and analyze a patient database
 * 2) *Determine if pertinent and/or relevant information for the database is missing or needed
 * 3) *Apply known information about the drug, the disease state and/or the patient parameters to the specific case questions
 * 4) *Develop a patient-specific strategy and document that strategy in the form of a written care plan


 * 1) *Identify, prioritize and solve drug-related problems such as drug-drug, drug-lab test and drug-food interactions
 * 2) *Anticipate drug therapy-related problems and provide recommendations or interventions that will minimize or eliminate the problem
 * 3) *Understand and extract key information from a case or a patient database
 * 4) *Empirically dose based on patient characteristics
 * 5) *Construct and explain a written pharmacotherapeutic care plan including a plan to monitor the outcomes of therapy
 * 6) *Utilize drug information skills to identify, resolve or prevent drug related problems
 * 7) *Effectively communicate using appropriate written and verbal skills
 * 8) *Accept and offer divergent opinions
 * 9) Convene in either large classroom or individual section rooms to take quiz. Once quiz is complete and students are in their designated Case Studies room, desks/chairs should be arranged in students’ respective subgroups so that all students in the group are facing each other, and preceptors have room to circulate among the groups.
 * 10) Case Studies preceptors will discuss format for the day’s session, as well as distribute the any handouts. Student(s) will read the case aloud, correcting mispronunciations of medical terms and clarifying any abbreviations used in the case write-up.
 * 11) Students will work as a group discussing and working thorough the case by initially identifying and prioritizing the problems. All students are expected to contribute to the discussion. The primary goal is to build a Care Plan, by SOAPing each problem, developing a consensus of assessments, recommendations, points of patient education for each of the problems, and answering any assigned discussion questions. Case Studies preceptors will circulate among the groups to facilitate the discussion, address questions and assist the discussion as needed. In addition, preceptors will ensure that the student group addresses the following: identification and prioritization of problems, points of emphasis for the case, and identification of drug induced or drug related problems (DIPs).
 * 12) Focus of the discussions should be patient specific and address the following, as appropriate:
 * 13) *Assessment of current therapy, assessment of therapeutic options.
 * 14) *Acute and chronic management strategies when applicable
 * 15) *Recommendation of the best therapeutic plan for this patient including drug(s), dose(s), route(s), regimen(s), duration, special precautions
 * 16) *Key drug dosing and drug administration issues
 * 17) *Appropriate monitoring of disease and drug therapy
 * 18) *Alternative plans and therapies
 * 19) *Therapeutic implications when dealing with different patient groups
 * 20) *Key references to search when questions related to this topic arise
 * 21) *Any legal or ethical issues or economic impact of various therapies
 * 22) *Key points of patient counseling and/or education
 * 23) *Questioning of the patient by the pharmacist to assess therapeutic outcomes
 * 24) *Simulation of communication with other health care providers
 * 25) *Critique of peer recommendations or assessments in an appropriate manner
 * 26) After group work is completed, individual groups’ recommendations will be discussed with the entire class. Case Studies preceptors may ask each group to post their recommendations on the board. For each problem, a subgroup member will lead the class discussion reviewing and critiquing the various recommendations posted. Particular areas of needed patient education/counseling should also be noted.
 * 27) The preceptor will summarize the major points of emphasis and address any remaining student questions, including any questions about that day’s quiz. The preceptor will clarify the expectations and time lines for submission of the written documentation required for that particular week’s case.
 * 28) Finally, the preceptor will return any previous assignments, and ask the students to return the room to its original configuration.
 * 29) Students have 1 week after an assignment or test has been returned or a grade posted to submit a request for a regrade. Individual students are responsible for preparing their own justification for their regrade request; the request must represent their own work.
 * 30) Students must submit their request directly to the instructor responsible for the exam/quiz question or for grading the assignment. Requests should be done via email, with a CC to Dr. Sprunger. Include the course, assignment/question and the number of points involved, along with a brief rationale and references that support your request. Regrade requests should also include the student’s phone number.
 * 31) The faculty may request, and the student should be prepared to provide, all original work as submitted and copies of any documentation to support the regrade request.

CASE STUDIES FORMAT: During each Case Studies discussion Session, students will work within the subgroups assigned in their respective section. Case Studies discussions are open note, open book, and the use of medical electronic databases are encouraged. Students may use any resources they choose to bring. However, if use of a resource inhibits a student’s participation or adversely affects the participation of their peers, this will be addressed with the student by the Case Studies preceptor(s). Students are free to take a restroom break any time after the quiz.

Eight scheduled quizzes will be administered according to the lecture schedule on Friday, at the beginning of Therapeutics Case Studies. The the lowest quiz score will be dropped. In the event that a student misses case studies the quiz for that day will count for the dropped quiz. Students may refer to the Case Studies schedule for location. In general, the quizzes will consist of ~10 questions. Quiz questions may also be drawn from readings assigned but not necessarily discussed in class. Quizzes are closed notes, closed book. When quizzes are administered via Blackboard, no other programs are allowed to be running or open on student computers.

One Individual Oral Case Discussion session will occur during a regularly scheduled Case Studies time period during the semester. Students will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills at verbally presenting a patient case and care plan in a clear, concise, and professional manner. Students will be presenting in front of faculty and peers. The case utilized for the Individual Oral Case Discussion session will be chosen from the Pharmacotherapy Casebook and will be identified for the students well in advance of the scheduled session. Students are expected to dress professionally, wearing white coats and nametags.

If a student fails the individual case presentation, he/she will be allowed to repeat the exercise. The repeat exercise will be similar but not identical in content to the original assessment. On a repeat examination, the highest score a student can earn is 75% of the possible points available on the exercise. If a student fails the repeat individual presentation, the student will fail the course. For this reason, students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Course Directors after the failed 1st attempt to identify strategies to assure success on the repeat exercise.

course and Instructor Evaluations: Students in this course play an important role in its evaluation. Changes are made on an annual basis based upon the feedback from both students and instructors. This is a very valuable process, as the responses will assist the faculty in evaluating different aspects of the course and making improvements for the following year's class. All responses will remain anonymous and will not be reviewed by lecturers until after the final grades have been submitted. To assure anonymity, course and faculty evaluations will be completed on-line.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. Academic dishonesty in all its manifestations is unacceptable behavior and is inconsistent with the professional integrity necessary to be a health care practitioner. Students must be fully aware of what constitutes academic dishonesty; claims of ignorance cannot be used to justify or rationalize dishonest acts. Behaviors which constitute academic dishonesty are clearly described in the Professional Conduct Code of the College which is contained in the COPHS Student Handbook and in Blackboard under the COPHS section. Students in COPHS courses are expected to read and to abide by this policy. The procedures outlined in this policy will be followed should any breach of academic integrity occur in this course. (Faculty may want to insert additional wording regarding a specific course sanction should cheating, plagiarism or fabrication be found to have occurred in the course)

PLAGIARISM. Plagiarism is one specific example of academic dishonesty that is often misunderstood by students. Plagiarism is defined as “the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.” Appropriate paraphrasing and proper referencing are necessary to avoid plagiarism. Please refer to the COPHS Citation Guide, available in the COPHS section of Blackboard, for proper referencing/citation formats. Students in COPHS courses are expected to read these guidelines and to adhere to them in the submission of all written assignments. All instances of plagiarism occurring in this course will be addressed as outlined in the COPHS Professional Conduct Code.

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS. The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences faculty and staff respect the right of all students to observe religious holidays and will make reasonable accommodations for the observance of such holidays. Students who are unable to attend classes or to participate in an examination or other form of assessment because of a conflict with the observance of a religious holiday will be given the opportunity to make up the work that was missed. Students must inform instructors of course conflicts resulting from religious observances by the end of the second week of the semester so that accommodations can be arranged. Requests must be in writing and the student should include a proposed alternative due date, examination date or make-up schedule. The faculty member will review the student request, and if the student’s proposed accommodation is acceptable will notify the student of its acceptance. No adverse or prejudicial effects will result to students because they have made use of these accommodations. For additional information, students should consult the COPHS Student Handbook for the complete policy on accommodations for observance of religious holidays.

USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES. In order to respect the learning environment of fellow classmates, students should turn off pagers and cellular telephones while in class or class-related activity. MP3-type listening devices and other acoustic devices that block the auditory canal from normal hearing are not to be worn in the classroom or during exams. Use of laptops or technology other than for instructional use is inappropriate (e.g., checking e-mail, surfing the internet, instant messaging, etc.). Students who fail to comply may be asked to leave the course-related activity. It may be considered an unexcused absence.
