This study describes a model Pharmaceutical Care Center in ambulatory care pharmacy. The center integrates drug distribution with direct patient care, enhancing pharmacist-patient interactions and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Services

Background:

  • The University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center developed a model for ambulatory care pharmacy services.
  • The main outpatient pharmacy was converted into a Pharmaceutical Care Center between 1991 and 1994.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a comprehensive model of pharmacy practice in an ambulatory care setting.
  • To establish a model for community and hospital-based ambulatory care pharmacy services.

Main Methods:

  • The Pharmaceutical Care Center was designed with specific areas for patient assessment, consultation, and pharmacy operations.
  • Pharmacy students and residents, supervised by faculty, performed patient assessments, education, outcome monitoring, and interventions.
  • Patient data and interventions were documented in medical records.

  • Technology, including computers and automated dispensing, was utilized to support pharmacists.

    • Main Results:

    • The center serves 120-150 patients daily, with 90% from the clinic system and 10% recently discharged.
    • Pharmacists focused on direct patient care activities, enabled by technological support and efficient drug distribution.
    • The model integrated drug distribution with direct patient care services.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive model for ambulatory care pharmacy practice was successfully developed and implemented.
    • The Pharmaceutical Care Center model demonstrates the integration of drug distribution and direct patient care.
    • This model serves as a blueprint for other ambulatory care pharmacy settings.
