SPECIAL REPORT

Advancing pharmacy practice model initiatives

Current healthcare reform initiatives emphasize high quality, safe, and cost-effective care, and greater accountability for those who seek to provide it. The ability of key stakeholders along the care continuum to work collaboratively will be critical to achievement of these goals. In response to these priorities, the Hospital and Health-System Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI) highlights a future-oriented model that supports and recognizes the impact of pharmacists, in particular, as providers of direct patient care.

The model acknowledges transitional hurdles but also emphasizes the importance of identifying emerging technologies to assist with successful integration of a new framework.
