Educating healthcare practitioners with the "Medication-Related Consultation Framework" model to develop their consultation skills

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to educate healthcare practitioners with the Medication-Related Consultation Framework model to enhance their consultation skills. The model breaks down into four phases each of them highlighting key behaviours essential to medication-related behaviours and hence promoting adherence. The approach used here is strongly patient-centered with identifying the patient's role as active and not passive. It enhances the knowledge of healthcare practitioners and digs deeper into the MRCF model to fully elaborate and explain the different phases of the mentioned framework. The consultation framework teaches how to make effective a healthcare professional's consultation by simplifying it. It is important to understand that the medication-related consultation framework is a structured process. It has a patient-centered approach and shared agenda to discuss the patient's medication-related issues and promote adherence. As mentioned earlier the consultation amplifies that the patient's role is active and not passive in the process
