Background:

Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) deliver integrated healthcare services for frail seniors.
PACE operates on a medical home model, serving individuals aged 55+ who require nursing facility care but live in the community.
These programs are often called 'nursing homes without walls,' encompassing a wide array of Medicare and Medicaid-covered services.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the extensive opportunities for pharmacists within PACE programs.
To emphasize the unique qualifications of senior care pharmacists for PACE settings.
To underscore the potential for pharmacists to improve care for PACE participants.

Main Methods:

The abstract describes the structure and services offered by PACE programs.
It outlines the diverse roles and responsibilities available to pharmacists within PACE.
It identifies key areas where geriatric pharmacists can contribute.

Main Results:

PACE programs provide a broad spectrum of healthcare services, creating numerous avenues for pharmaceutical involvement.
Pharmacists can engage in medication reviews, therapy management, drug monitoring, and chronic disease management.
Specialized pharmacists are well-positioned to support interdisciplinary teams and enhance participant care.

Conclusions:

PACE programs offer significant opportunities for pharmacists, particularly those specializing in geriatrics.
Senior care pharmacists can provide essential services, including medication management and safety initiatives.
Pharmacist integration into PACE enhances the comprehensive care model for frail elderly individuals.
