Background

Pharmacist-led interventions, as demonstrated in previous studies, were associated with improved adherence, medication utilization, and identification of drug related problems.

Health system integrated specialty pharmacists are uniquely positioned to identify and address numerous complex clinical interventions in a timely and streamlined manner because of their access to the patient’s electronic health record, close connection to providers in clinic, and relationship formed between them and the patient. These pharmacist-led interventions improve patient care and satisfaction, while also improving overall costs for the healthcare system.

This is the first study to examine the variety of types of interventions completed by health system integrated specialty pharmacists and their impact and patient outcomes.

Objectives

The primary objectives of this study are to identify and quantify the types of interventions being completed by health system integrated specialty pharmacists and demonstrate their resultant impact on clinical outcomes and overall cost.
