Patient-centered care lies at the center of the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners Pharmacists' Patient Care Process and recognizes the pharmacist's responsibility for the patient's drug-related and health needs, concerns, and expectations as well as prioritizing the patient's interests before all others. Person-centered care more explicitly expands the pharmacist's understanding of the patient to a person with rights, knowledge, and experiences that extend outside of disease, illness, and pharmacotherapy. The Social Care Framework developed by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine provides a roadmap to how pharmacists can provide community-integrated care that is consistent with person centeredness. Doing so can expand the pharmacist's role and value in a time of community-integrated care transformation.

Introduction: Electrical stimulation (E-stim) can reduce the impact of complications, like spasticity, bladder dysfunction in people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs), enhancing quality of life and health outcomes. With SCI prevalence high in regional Australia and a shift towards home-based community integrated care, the perspectives of people with SCI and healthcare professionals on current and future use of E-stim home-devices are needed.
Methods: A mixed-methods concurrent triangulation approach was used.
