Abstract
Professional practice in any complex health care delivery can proceed at a hectic pace. There are often competing demands for the allocation of time and expertise. Senior care pharmacists are among several subsets within the pharmacy profession who shoulder the responsibility to provide care for and to protect older people who can be at grave risk for health problems from a variety of sources, in particular: medication-related problems. This was elegantly elaborated by influential pharmacy practitioners in practice and academia a little more than 30 years ago.
