Each chapter is written by content experts and peer reviewed by healthcare professionals (ie, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and/or physicians) who are authorities in their disciplines. To further enhance the learning experience, we sought input from multiple viewpoints. For example, learners reviewed chapters for ease of use and accessibility of pedagogical features. Foundational to this textbook is a clear understanding of the critical role of accurate, up to date pharmacotherapeutic knowledge in the provision of patient care. Given the importance of health equity and the social determinants of health, this edition of Pharmacotherapy Principles & Practice includes a chapter focused on these topics. Following a brief Introduction chapter, the new chapter, "Improving Patient Care by Understanding Health Equity and the Social Determinants of Health," defines health equity as having a fair opportunity to attain the highest possible level of health. Health equity is influenced by the social determinants of health, described as conditions in the environment that impact health and well-being. Because of their well-documented effects on health outcomes, the social determinants of health are a significant focus of Healthy People 2030, which delineates the public health priorities and goals of the United States.3"-- ER -
