Vol.2(1); Pages:1-10. Published on April 2025
Abstract
CPS serve as essential components for achieving optimal medication treatment results and better patient outcomes especially in oncology medical environments. Healthcare provider perceptions along with their expectations regarding these services play an influential role in how well they get integrated and work in practice. The research intends to analyze the medical staff members’ perceptions and expectations about clinical pharmacy services at a tertiary cancer center located in Qatar. The study examines the professional perspective of integrated value alongside practice hurdles that cause implementation challenges in addition to identifying necessary change points which support professional cooperation and medical treatment quality.A cross-sectional research investigation involved physicians, nurses, and additional health care personnel from Qatar’s leading oncology center as participants. Staff members completed structured questionnaires which measured their understanding and sentiments along with their anticipated benefits of clinical pharmacy services. The statistical analysis included both descriptive and inferential methods to uncover vital relationships in the data collection results.Results show healthcare providers understand clinical pharmacy benefits in patient care but establish significant restrictions during full integration processes. Barriers that prevent full integration include health provider low awareness concerning clinical pharmacy services together with workforce limitations and skill-related communication difficulties. The physicians believed clinical pharmacists should actively participate in individual treatment designs yet nurses felt that teamwork needs improvement regarding patient education methods and adherence practices.Outreach programs directed at oncology providers coupled with defined collaboration formats will make clinical pharmacy services more acceptable and useful for these medical facilities. Interdisciplinary team partnerships need emphasis for optimal achievement of patient treatment results and safety.
