State pharmacy practice acts increasingly define pharmaceutical care services. Over a decade, significant statutory changes expanded pharmacist roles, though some states lag in codifying these advancements.

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Law
Health Policy
Pharmaceutical Services

Background:

Pharmacy practice acts define the scope of pharmacist responsibilities.
Statutory definitions of pharmacy practice have evolved over time.
Understanding these changes is crucial for assessing the expanding role of pharmacists.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze statutory changes in the definition of the practice of pharmacy in state acts over a 10-year period (1988-1998).
To determine the range of definitions and the direction and magnitude of changes in pharmacy practice acts.
To assess the codification of pharmaceutical care services within state statutes.

Main Methods:

A comparative analysis of pharmacy practice acts from 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Focus on the statutory definition of the "practice of pharmacy" in both 1988 and 1998.

Exclusion of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from the analysis.

Main Results:

Significant increases in the codification of various pharmaceutical care services were observed between 1988 and 1998.
Notable growth areas include drug utilization review (70%), patient assessment (6.5-fold), pharmacist prescribing (4.6-fold), and participation in drug research (10.5-fold).
Despite progress, some states still lack comprehensive definitions for pharmaceutical care functions.

Conclusions:

State pharmacy practice acts have increasingly recognized pharmaceutical care services as integral pharmacy functions.
Substantial progress in codifying expanded pharmacist roles has been made over the decade.
Adoption of models like the National Association Boards of Pharmacy Model State Pharmacy Act can further facilitate practice evolution.
