The Director's Forum series is designed to guide pharmacy leaders in establishing patient-centered services in hospitals and health systems. August 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Mirror to Hospital Pharmacy, the results of a federally funded comprehensive study of pharmacy services in the United States. The late Don E. Francke, MS, DSc, was the lead author of the Mirror and the principal investigator for the US Public Health Service grant W-45. To celebrate the anniversary of the Mirror, the Director's Forum is profiling the leadership styles of Drs. Latiolais and Francke. September's article highlighted Dr. Clifton J. Latiolais; this month's Director's Forum reviews Dr. Francke's biography and key career accomplishments, describes his leadership philosophy, and translates that philosophy to today's health care challenges. Don's influence on health system pharmacy serves as an example of effective leadership. This historical perspective provides directors of pharmacy a valuable leadership view as they develop strategies to enhance patient-centered pharmacy services.

“…When AOP debuted in 1967 under the title of Drug Intelligence (the Journal has had several names, the duration and history of which have previously been extensively detailed [2][3][4][5] ), clinical pharmacy was not a widely accepted discipline. Indeed, many health care professionals questioned the need of pharmacists to be involved in anything more than formulating and dispensing the prescribed medications.…”

“…These editorials, recollections, and key articles were even compiled in a book, providing a remarkable story of clinical pharmacy as reflected by AOP content over this time. 2,[5][6][7]10 Of course the Journal would not exist without the submissions of manuscripts offered by authors from the United States and abroad. These submissions keep AOP relevant and in the forefront of clinical pharmacy and pharmacotherapy publications.…”

“…Harvey's many friends and associates span the history of clinical pharmacy back even to its roots before the term "clinical pharmacy" was coined (when his father Harvey Sr. became the first clinical pharmacist at the University of Michigan). 2 Harvey's long association with these practitioners and thought leaders of pharmacotherapy has made his tenure at the helm of the journal so special and has shown that relationships achieve results. The journal owes a debt of gratitude to Harvey for his leadership that should always be remembered by those enjoying the benefits of readership.…”

As with anything creative, change is inevitable." -Enya T he Annals of Pharmacotherapy has been a mainstay in drug therapy literature since 1967. At its inception, it was the first journal to embrace and focus on the fledgling concept of clinical pharmacy. This early vision of the journal (Drug Intelligence its first two-and-a-half years and thereafter Drug Intelligence and Clinical Pharmacy, or DICP as it was affectionately known) was transformed into a reality by its first editor and publisher, Don Francke DSc. Journal content was such that practitioners, students, pharmacologists, and those interested in drug action and reaction could use the journal to educate themselves and others to further improve treatment options for patients. Key early series of articles on pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, pharmacoeconomics, and pharmacoepidemiology introduced these and other evolving concepts to practitioners and furthered their acceptance into the profession.As with many new endeavors, the theory of clinical pharmacy was sometimes difficult to put into action. 1 Perseverance and the support of the dedicated members of the journal's authors, Editorial Board members, reviewers, and translators, along with a similarly dedicated in-house staff, brought the journal to the forefront of clinical pharmacy publications. When Harvey AK Whitney, Jr. MSPharm assumed the role of editor and publisher in 1978 he continued to push for the journal to explore and introduce new concepts to broaden the scope of educational opportunities for readers and contributors alike.
