“…In comparison to the studies published by Rivikin and Gonyeau, our study reported an indirect assessment of students' self-perceptions of their confidence and retention of PPCP concepts from P2 laboratory to P3 IPPEs [8,9]. Consistent with other studies, the practice-based course provided students with the opportunity to apply the standardized PPCP in community and hospital settings [10].…”

“…While Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan (SOAP) notes have been used to relate to the PPCP steps [15]. We opted to use the SBAR approach instead, to encourage students to be succinct when communicating in an interdisciplinary setting [10,18]. Using SBAR to practice communications with standardized colleague simulations in both inpatient and outpatient settings showed to improve students' perception of their confidence in interprofessional communication performance [19].…”

“…Gonyeau and colleagues also reported on the PPCP integration from a faculty perspective highlighting the need for faculty development in order to ensure appropriate introduction, reinforcement and assessment of PPCP throughout the curriculum [9]. Moreover, some schools of pharmacy decided to introduce the PPCP model into the curriculum starting the first day of the program in order to increase familiarity with the PPCP process [10].…”

Background The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) standard 10 specifies the need to prepare students to provide patient-centered collaborative care through both the didactic and experiential pharmacy curriculum. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a newly introduced PPCP based laboratory course on students’ perception of their preparedness to apply PPCP steps in introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs). Methods In spring of 2017, PPCP was introduced into the Pharmaceutical Care and Dispensing Laboratory course. Students’ self-perception of preparedness to apply PPCP was assessed via a survey composed of questions related to PPCP skillsets. The pre-PPCP laboratory cohort (control group) took the survey after the completion of their experiential rotations. The PPCP laboratory cohort (intervention group) took the same survey prior to taking the course, at the end of the course and then following the completion of their IPPEs. The Pearson’s and McNemar Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Results The findings indicate that the PPCP based laboratory significantly improved students’ perception of their preparedness to apply a standardized pharmacist care process to verify prescriptions, to collect relevant patient information, and to develop an individual patient-centered care plans. This significant impact of the PPCP based laboratory course on students’ perception was maintained through the following year when assessed after IPPEs. Conclusion Introduction of the PPCP model within a dispensing laboratory course, prior to students’ IPPEs, develops students’ perception of preparedness. Incorporating PPCP via active learning and simulation narrows the gap between the didactic and experiential curriculum by establishing a bridge between understanding the concept of PPCP and readiness for applying it in practice experiences.

“…The PPCP recommends that pharmacists use a patient-centered approach, in collaboration with other health care providers to optimize patient care. To accomplish this, pharmacists should use evidence-based medicine to collect necessary subjective and objective information, assess the collected information, develop an individualized patient-centered plan, implement the plan, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the planmodifying as needed [52]. As care providers, pharmacists are effective in providing high quality patient care and being members in multidisciplinary clinical teams is needed to give them the opportunity.…”

Pharmacy education continues to evolve to better prepare pharmacists for their roles and responsibilities in an increasingly complex health care environment with advanced patient health needs. Another important factor is the pharmacists themselves. Over the past 50 years, the role of pharmacists has evolved along with the health care needs of our population. In addition to dispensing medications and ensuring patient safety, today's pharmacists are taking a larger role as medical counselors, educators and advocates. They are integral part of the health care team, and are among the most trusted and accessible health care professionals. This accessibility allows them to perform more patient care activities, including counseling, medication management, and preventive care screenings. Beyond the care provided to individual patients, pharmacists have expanded their reach to influence the public health of communities. A pharmacist is uniquely positioned to provide disease state management through appropriate medication therapy management that has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes and decrease overall health care costs. This role is more important than ever as the environment is demanding new practice and payment models that are required to further optimize care and outcomes while addressing the unsustainable increases in health care costs. All people who take medications are at risk of actual or potential drug therapy problems. These problems are a significant source of morbidity and mortality when left undetected and unresolved and drive huge costs across the health system. As drug therapy experts, pharmacists provide drug therapy management services built around a partnership between the pharmacist, the patient (or his or her caregiver), physicians and other members of a patient's health care team.

Care" and engaged with six guests from outside academic pharmacy to identify the salience of the key issues and recommendations for pharmacy education and practice. To be part of the changing health care system we must prepare graduates and faculty to be patient-and community-centered, to command electronic systems of communication with members of interprofessional teams and to create and apply real-world evidence. Sustainable practice models will depend upon the measurement of performance and the assessment of the value produced by clinicians. To that end, the Commission advances a proposed policy related to the knowledge graduates must possess in key areas, including informatics, data analytics, genomics and value-based payment schemes. This will require new forms of faculty development and engagement between AACP members and their communities.
