The 2010-2011 charges of the Professional Affairs Committee will be to examine how AACP and its members can most effectively partner with a variety of key stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of pharmacists’ services (e.g., MTM, primary care) as the standard for team-based, patient-centered care. Consider the movement to accredit community pharmacies, the medical home, 2009-2010 Professional Affairs after Committee Report, and the Academy’s history of catalyzing practice innovation through faculty placement, evaluation of new practice models and training students at sites with progressive practice models. Suggest how AACP can leverage these factors in this era of increasing reimbursement mechanisms, evolving healthcare reform and increasing recognition by other health professions of pharmacists’ role in patient care to improve patient health outcomes through an appropriately educated and motivated pharmacy workforce.
