“…Given the large body of evidence supporting the pharmacist's role in improving asthma outcomes in patients [37], the sustained increase in knowledge is not surprising. Our results suggest that pharmacy-based services are very efficient in terms of improvements and retention of asthma knowledge.…”

“…group education, individualized education and outreach education [34][35][36]. In most cases, asthma care programs have been delivered across a period of six months to a year, with very few reporting ongoing patient monitoring beyond the period of program delivery [37,38]. Moreover, many studies of pharmacy-based asthma care programs do not report on the 'frequency' of the education/care sessions [37].…”

Moreover, many studies of pharmacy-based asthma care programs do not report on the 'frequency' of the education/care sessions [37]. This is possibly an important determinant, as it can affect patient retention of new knowledge [39].…”

Objectives: To assess any improvements in knowledge of asthma patients after a tailored education program delivered by pharmacists and measure the sustainability of any improvements. To ascertain patients' perceptions about any changes in their knowledge.Methods: 96 specially trained pharmacists recruited patients based on their risk of poor asthma control. A tailored intervention was delivered to patients based on individual needs and goals, and was conducted at three or four time points over six months. Asthma knowledge was assessed at the beginning and end of the service, and six and 12 months after it had ended. Patients' perceptions of the impact of the service on their knowledge were explored qualitatively in interviews.

“…Systematic reviews summarizing the roles and/or impact of CP involvement in various specialty areas have been published. These areas include mental health, [16][17] diabetes, [18][19] nephrology, [20][21] heart failure, 22 asthma, 23 Alzheimer's disease, 24 and antibiotic management. 25 Knapp et al's (2005) 2004 survey of 233 ambulatory sites with CP involvement reported that the most common area of specialty CP involvement was oncology (28% of participating sites).…”

H ealth care in the United States is increasingly being delivered during ambulatory care visits. 1 As new investment in health care shifts from the inpatient to outpatient setting, the role of ambulatory clinical pharmacists (CP) are expanding. While dispensing pharmacists provide clinical screening and patient education for potential drugrelated problems, CPs provide services that complement the care provided by dispensing pharmacists by directly advising and educating other health care providers and patients on appropriate pharmaceutical use and dosing.Initial involvement of CPs in the ambulatory setting occurred primarily in the primary care setting. Early studies examined the impact of CPs and reported improved outcomes with clinical pharmacy management of care on patient compliance, [2][3][4][5][6] diabetes, 7 patient-specific drug information, 8 and treatment of infections.9 Systematic reviews of CP involvement in ambulatory settings note that while the quality of research (e.g., weak methodology, small sample sizes) is limited, the participation of CPs in health care has resulted in positive cost-effective care.10-12 A 2010 Cochrane review summarizing randomized controlled studies of CP involvement noted that most of the studies meeting inclusion took place in a primary care or community pharmacy setting rather than a specialties setting. 12CP involvement in ambulatory specialty areas has expanded into a broader array of disease states. Reports noting CP involvement in psychiatry practices were first published in the 1970s. 13,14 Currently, settings with CP involvement in specialty clinics include primarily health maintenance organizations, teaching institutions, and Veterans Affairs (VA) health systems.15 Other nonfee-for-service settings that may have specialty CP involvement include community clinics and other non-VA government health care systems. Systematic reviews summarizing the roles and/or impact of CP involvement in various specialty areas have been published. These areas include mental health, [16][17] 25 Knapp et al.'s (2005) 2004 survey of 233 ambulatory sites with CP involvement reported that the most common area of specialty CP involvement was oncology (28% of participating sites).15 Less than 10% of participating sites had CP involvement in neurology, heart failure, or psychiatry management, while involvement in other medical specialties was not reported by most participating sites.15 Accordingly, C O M M E N TA R YCP involvement in many specialties in the ambulatory setting has not been described in the literature, and little research on the clinical and economic outcomes of CP involvement has been conducted in specialty settings.
