Studies in health services research examine outcomes at the individual, family, organizational, institutional, community, and population level. HSR studies examine how people get access to health care, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care. The primary goals of HSR are to identify the most effective ways to organize, manage, finance, and deliver high quality care, reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. <br>Pharmaceutical health services research incorporates pharmacoeconomics, health economics, finance, health outcomes, health planning and policy analysis, technology assessment and pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal welcomes papers on cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness studies, and the financial implications and political outcomes of drug policy. <br> <br> </p>

With the focus on medicinal drugs, the most important safety issues of drugs are covered. This includes registration requirements of new drugs and pharmacovigilance. After a general introduction and a number of chapters on basic toxicological principles, organ toxicity of drugs is illustrated by chapters on toxicity in the liver, in the kidney, in the respiratory system and in the immune system. This book combines a broad treatment of the issues relevant for assessing the safety/efficacy balance of a new drug with information on the toxicological knowledge base and methodology. <br>Toxicology studies are carried out on all drug substances to ensure safety. This is an introductory text for students at BSc, MSc and PhD levels, and will be an excellent companion to pharmacology textbooks. <br> <br>CONTENTS:<br><br> 1. General Toxicology<br> 2.

There is a strong focus on drug choice so that the reader can appreciate the rationale behind logical prescribing... <br>...drug interactions represent an important therapeutic challenge and attempts have been made to highlight important examples and how they may be overcome... <br>...The book will be of greatest value to pharmacy students in the latter part of their courses and to preregistration graduates undertaking their clinical practice." <br> Laurence A. Goldberg, The Pharmaceutical Journal, 12 October 2016 <br> <br> From the reviews of the previous edition <br>"...it is crucial to maintain your knowledge of pharmacology throughout the pre-registration year and beyond. Knowing your muscarinic receptor from your adrenoceptor will prove hugely beneficial as you prepare for the registration assessment as you won’t need to memorise endless lists of interactions... <br>...the authors do not provide overwhelming detail, but offer the clinical reasoning behind interactions and potential consequences for the patient. The chapter concludes with some punchy practice points which help consolidate the readers learning... <br>...certainly a worthy investment for the pre-registration trainee. It bridges the gap between core scientific principles and clinical practice with ease." <br> Daniel Greenwood, Pharmacist and PhD candidate, University of Manchester, BPSA Graduate Link, Autumn 2015<br> <br>"This is a worthy training tool for pharmacy students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to practical situations for management of patients. This is a nice supplement, it is easy to follow and has appropriate references to support the information outlined in the book" <br> Barbara Lane Giacomelli, PharmD, MBA, BS, Doody's Notes, 5 April 2009<br> <br>"Excellent book to introduce applied pharmacotherapy concepts.
