Patient Care Transformation

“… Pharmacists in Clinical Roles Can Be the Most Transformative Force in Healthcare for

Patients in Collaboration with Providers.”

-Terry McInnis, MD MPH

What would your business plan look like if……

• Your pharmacy was paid to keep people healthy?

• Your pharmacists increased access to primary care?

Instead of……

•……. Solely dispensing drugs?

Making the case

Why is pharmacy needed at the table?

Where are the gaps?

How...

Create a plan to overcome potential challenges associated with non-traditional pharmacy

Craft and execute collaborativedrug therapy agreements which support a pharmacist to function as a provider.

Strategy…

Implement pharmacist delivered care to increase access to primary care

Collaborate with other members of the healthcare team ….

• to successfully implement a model of care in which the pharmacist practices at the top of the pharmacy license.

Construct ….

• a reimbursement model of compensation for these services that increases profits.

One way to use collaborative drug therapy agreements:
