Payment Reform Meets Pharmacy Practice and Education Transformation

N C Med J. 2017 May-Jun;78(3):173-176. doi: 10.18043/ncm.78.3.173.

Abstract

The pharmacy profession has for the greater part of four decades been associated with dispensing activities and product reimbursement. This has hindered the ability of pharmacists to evolve their roles in their respective sites of care. Payment reform efforts that create an outcomes marketplace offer an opportunity for professional transformation.
