Essential factors demonstrating readiness of primary care practices for clinical pharmacy services.

CONCLUSION: An expert panel of ambulatory care pharmacists identified 6 factors that should be considered prior to establishing ambulatory care services in primary care practices. Of these, foundational elements included full integration into the care team, presence of a physician or administrative champion, and a practice that is ready for team-based care. Operational elements included access to the practice's EHR, equipment provided by the practice, and private space to see patients. PMID: 30355599 [PubMed - in process]
