Why is this Issue Important?

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Beliefs and assumptions– A1. There is opportunity to significantly advance the health and well‐being of patients in hospitals and health systems by changing how pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and technology resources are d l ddeployed.

– A2. In the next 5‐10 years, hospitals and health systems will be under increasing pressure to cut operating costs.

– A3. In the next 5‐10 years, hospital and health‐system executives will require pharmacy department operations to be more efficient.

13

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Beliefs and assumptions– A4. Within the next few years, financial pressures on hospitals and health systems will force them to pursue significant changes in how pharmacy resources are usedused.

– B3. All hospital and health systems will not require the same level of pharmacist‐provided drug therapy management.

– B4. In the next 5‐10 years, there will be increasing demand among new pharmacy graduates for residency training.

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Beliefs and assumptions

– B5. In the next 5‐10 years, an increasing number of pharmacists will pursue clinical specialization.

– B6 The following are barriers to the developmentB6. The following are barriers to the development of optimal pharmacy practice models:

• B6a. Insufficient leadership within the field of hospital and health‐system pharmacy to catalyze change.

• B6b. Resistance to change from current pharmacy staff. 

• B6c. Lack of pharmacy staff resources.

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Beliefs and assumptions– C1. In most hospitals and health systems, improvements in technology will be required for pharmacy departments to fully achieve optimal d l t f h i t d hdeployment of pharmacist and pharmacy technician resources.

– D1. Pharmacy technicians who have appropriate education, training, and credentials could be used much more extensively to free pharmacists from drug distribution activities.

14

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Beliefs and assumptions– E4. The following are critical components in the implementation of optimal pharmacy practice models:

• E4a. Department of Pharmacy leadership.

• E4b. Clinical pharmacy leadership.

• E4c.  Ensuring competence of staff to provide drug therapy management.

• E4d.  Assignment of pharmacists to patient care units.

• E4o.  Increased number of residency‐trained pharmacists. 

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Drug Therapy Management– Multidisciplinary team process for selecting appropriate drug therapies, educating patients, monitoring  patients, and continually assessing outcomes of therapy Pharmacist activities in drugoutcomes of therapy.  Pharmacist activities in drug therapy management my include but are not limited to initiating, modifying, and monitoring a patient’s drug therapy; ordering and performing laboratory and related tests; assessing patient response to therapy; counseling and educating a patient about medications; and administering medications.

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Recommendations

– A9. All patients should have a right to the care of a pharmacist.  

– B8 Drug therapy management should be providedB8. Drug therapy management should be provided by a pharmacist for each hospital inpatient.  

– B9. For hospitals and health systems that provide ambulatory care services, drug therapy management should be available from a pharmacist for each outpatient.  

15

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Recommendations

– B23. The following characteristics or activities should be considered essential to pharmacist‐provided drug‐therapy management in optimal p g py g ppharmacy practice models:

• B23p. Pharmacist completion of ASHP accredited residency training or achievement of equivalent experience.    

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Recommendations– B24: Every Pharmacy Department should:

• B24a. Identify drug therapy management services that should be provided consistently by its pharmacists.

B24b D l l ll i• B24b. Develop a plan to reallocate its resources to devote significantly more pharmacist time to drug therapy management services.

• B24c. Develop a plan to allocate pharmacy student time to drug therapy management services.

• B24i/j. Manage prospective/retrospective medication‐use evaluation programs to improve prescribing.  

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Recommendations– B25: In optimal pharmacy practice models:

• B25c. Individual pharmacists should not be engaged specifically in drug therapy management without an understanding and responsibility for the medicationunderstanding and responsibility for the medication‐use or delivery systems.

• B25d. Individual pharmacists must accept responsibility for both the clinical and the distributive activities of the pharmacy department.

• B25e. Clinical specialist positions are necessary to advance practice, education, and research activities.

16

The consensus of the Pharmacy Practice Model Summit

• Recommendations

– C13: Pharmacy residency programs should provide informatics training to ensure residents’ success in optimal practice models.p p

– C14. Advanced training in pharmacy informatics with residencies and postgraduate education should be expanded.

• Recommendations– New Models:

• Increasing ratios beyond the current 1:1 preceptor to student ratio

• Introducing the concept of an “attending pharmacist” similar to the medical model that would oversee several residentsto the medical model that would oversee several residents

• Introducing the concept of the resident is a “practitioner learner” as the resident is already a licensed pharmacist advancing themselves, perhaps autonomy occurs sooner in the residency training

• Allowing new administrative oversight to help more programs develop

• Use of distance technology to support remote locations

21

Pharmacy Residency Capacity Stakeholders Conference

• Recommendations

– Existing Models:

• Development of tools to start to expand residencies, targeted by different practice settings

• Develop outreach programs for targeted areas of expansion (300‐500 bed hospitals, colleges of pharmacy not involved in residency training, chain drug stores, managed care organizations, etc.)
