diagnostic testing.
Objective
A prioritized list of assessed patient conditions. This may consist of the level

considerations for pharmacotherapy, and adjunctive lifestyle measures.
Assessment
Care plan action steps for the patient and healthcare practitioners. These steps may
include requests for laboratory or diagnostic assessments.
Plan

and states the clinical pharmacist’s findings observed
FARM progress notes

assessment of patient information
Findings
Pharmacist’s evaluation of the present situation. It should delineate the
