Area of Science:

Health Services Research
Interprofessional Team Dynamics
Primary Care Practice Transformation

Background:

Patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) involve primary care team restructuring.
Limited research exists on integrating extended team members into established PCMH.
Understanding factors influencing integration quality is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the integration process of Clinical Pharmacy Specialists (CPS) into primary care teams within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
To identify roles and influencing factors for CPS integration in PCMH.

Main Methods:

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CPS (n=6) and clinical team members (n=16).
Thematic analysis of interview transcripts was performed to identify integration patterns and challenges.

Main Results:

Clinical Pharmacy Specialists (CPS) were integrated in two primary ways: consultative and collaborative roles.
Misconceptions about CPS competencies and provider opinions can limit integration to consultative roles.
Over time, misconceptions can be corrected, leading to more collaborative roles, such as comprehensive medication management for disease states.

Conclusions:

Collaborative integration enhances CPS opportunities to optimize contributions in primary care.
Clarifying roles is essential for effectively integrating advanced practitioners into interprofessional teams.
Successful integration of CPS supports improved patient care within the PCMH model.
