Expansion of pharmacy services win accredited adult and pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) clinics

2017

Implement an updated, outpatient clinical pharmacy practice model, involving an efficient expansion of pharmacist responsibilities paired with the addition of a certified pharmacy technician (CPhT) as part of the CF multidisciplinary care team. Our proposed outpatient clinical pharmacy practice model will enhance, specifically: 1) cost-effectiveness of therapy, 2) access to drug therapy, 3)improve communication with patients and/or caregivers and encourage coproduction of care, and 4) communication and transition of care between CF clinics, inpatient care, community/primary care practitioners, and payers.
