The Evidence Behind Pharmacist-Integrated Care
Published research supports pharmacist involvement across chronic disease management, medication optimization, adherence, and medication safety. Explore evidence across key clinical areas below.
Published Evidence in Key Clinical Areas
DIABETES MANAGEMENT
Pharmacist e-consult involvement improved achievement of a composite of diabetes treatment goals at 6 months.
27% vs 7%
Patients meeting treatment goals with pharmacist e-consult vs matched controls
Firkus D, et al. PLoS One. 2023;18(8):e0289225.
HYPERTENSION
Pharmacist-supported home blood pressure monitoring with care management improved blood pressure control.
56% vs 31%
Patients achieving blood pressure control with pharmacist support vs usual care
Green BB, et al. JAMA. 2008;299(24):2857–2867.
MEDICATION SAFETY
Medication reconciliation led by pharmacists identifies and resolves medication discrepancies across transitions of care.
Discrepancies are common.
Systematic reviews show pharmacist-led reconciliation consistently reduces the number of medication discrepancies identified
Leibson T, et al. Ann Pharmacother. 2011;45(1):86-98.
TRANSITIONS OF CARE
Pharmacist transitional care support reduced 30-day readmissions in high-risk patients.
9% vs 15%
30-day readmission with pharmacist transitional care vs matched controls
