The Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists (MSHP) developed a process to implement recommendations from the Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI). This strategy aims to advance health-system pharmacy practice in Michigan through actionable steps.
Area of Science:
- Health-System Pharmacy Practice
- Pharmacy Management
- Healthcare Policy Implementation
Background:
- The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI) provides a vision for advancing pharmacy practice.
- The Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists (MSHP) sought to operationalize these national recommendations within the state.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the process developed by MSHP to advance health-system pharmacy practice based on ASHP PPMI recommendations.
- To create actionable strategies for implementing PPMI concepts in Michigan.
Main Methods:
- A task force reviewed 147 national ASHP PPMI recommendations.
- Recommendations were categorized into six focus areas: acute care, ambulatory care, education/training, organizational affairs/leadership, pharmacy technicians, and technology/information systems.
- A conference with focus groups was held to assess these areas and formulate state-specific recommendations.
Main Results:
- Six key focus areas for advancing pharmacy practice were identified.
- A total of 56 recommendations were generated by focus groups.
- Over 80% of these recommendations were classified as high impact and high feasibility for implementation.
Conclusions:
- MSHP successfully developed a structured process to act on ASHP PPMI recommendations.
- This process facilitates the advancement of health-system pharmacy practice in Michigan.
