title: Effective communication with prescribers: tips and insights from both sides of the fence.
abstract: Although effective collaboration between pharmacists and prescribers is critically important, their relations are often strained. Lack of or inadequate communication of the medication-related problem can hinder pharmacists from receiving timely responses to their recommendations and affect the quality of care provided to the patient. Here, seasoned consultant pharmacists and medical directors suggest simple strategies to help cultivate more collaborative, effective, and satisfying relationships.
