Ali Murshid & Mohaidin Model for Prescribing Decisions
Patient characteristics: patient expectations and request for drug
Marketing efforts: drug information, drugs’ brand, marketing rep. effectiveness, promotion sales
Pharmacist factors: pharmacist-MD collaboration, pharmacist expert power
Contextual factors: trustworthiness, physician habits, cost/benefit ratio of a drug, drug characteristics
PPT model was developed in
1996 to guide PMH APRNs with psychopharm decision-making when MN first legislated prescriptive authority for APRNs in 1995
The PPT model incorporated
a holistic, nursing framework which is patient centered, rather than drug centered
The PPT model revised
over time to include integrative nursing concepts
