Integration of clinical pharmacists into ambulatory care teams and ambulatory clinics continues to evolve as the pharmacy profession overcomes challenges to the development and delivery of clinical services in primary care and disease specialty practice. Consideration of existing and successful care models aid in the future progression of ambulatory clinical pharmacists in these environments.
Pharmacists leading practice change must develop skills related to business planning
and models, infrastructure establishment, and workflow processes. Knowledge of business
planning and model development informed by revenue generating opportunities and pharmacist
impact on quality indicators is crucial to the development of a sustainable ambulatory
clinical pharmacy practice model. Long term success of these practices also requires
enhanced provider and patient satisfaction and ongoing demonstration of clinical and
economic value.
With a foundation in these skills and knowledge, ambulatory clinical pharmacists can
position themselves as an integral and enduring member of the primary care team. Program
participants will develop proficiency in discussing established value-based care models
with key stakeholders and will apply business planning concepts to the development
and implementation of a sustainable ambulatory care practice.
