“…This model was initially developed and implemented by a workgroup of the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists. 2 Publications on this model have consistently shown clinical and financial improvement, however, the Asheville model has been limited geographically, technologically, and in study design. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Criticisms of the Asheville model studies have included questions regarding national scalability and the lack of a control group.…”

Relevance and Contribution to Literature: This study was designed to add to the body of knowledge gained through the original Asheville Project studies, and to address some of the limitations of the earlier studies. Scalability. Since the original Asheville Project publications there have been some successful replications, however, there is a need to broaden the geographic scope and increase the size of the study population. Study Design. Previous studies were limited to pre-post, self-as-control design. We added a control group. Model improvement. We were able to incorporate an electronic record of care. This allows incorporation of medical and prescription claims, ease of documentation, improved data capture, reporting, standardization of care, identification of deficiencies in care, and communication with other health care providers. This enhancement may be worthy of more comment than we devoted to it , however, we didn't want to detract from the main goal of the study, and we wanted to avoid any hint of commercialization on the part of the organization that provided the electronic record. Relevance to profession. We sincerely hope the relevance goes beyond the profession of pharmacy and that it reinforces the message that the profession of pharmacy offers real solutions to rising health care costs in the U.S.

“…Utilizing pharmacist's clinical expertise and knowledge of pharmacological and non-pharmacological disease state therapy, previous research has shown that pharmacistdirected services can have a significant effect on patient's clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] A study by DiDonato, et al demonstrated that pharmacist-directed wellness coaching provided significant improvements in cardiovascular risk. 22 Pharmacist providers of the DiDonato, et al study provided education and coaching for patients categorized into cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and weight monitoring groups.…”

“…Pharmacists' capacity to assist patients in improving their glycemic control and achieving goals of therapy has been well documented. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] To prepare pharmacy students to provide diabetes care services, formalized curricular concentrations in diabetes care have been developed. 17, 18 Johnson and colleagues described a 3-credit-hour advanced diabetes care elective course that was part of a 24-credit-hour diabetes concentration.…”

Objective. To determine practice outcomes associated with doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) graduates from 2 universities who completed a diabetes-concentration.Methods. An online survey instrument was sent to 93 PharmD graduates who completed a concentration in diabetes and 94 control graduates to determine their knowledge of and skills in providing diabetes care and how frequently they provided diabetes care services. Results. Ninety-seven graduates (52%) responded. Significantly more graduates with a diabetes concentration rated their ability to instruct patients on insulin administration, blood glucose monitoring, foot care, and insulin dose adjustment as good or excellent compared to a control group of graduates. Graduates with a diabetes concentration also rated their ability to perform blood glucose monitoring and foot examinations higher than graduates without a diabetes concentration (P , 0.05). Conclusion. Completing a diabetes concentration increased graduates' knowledge of diabetes and confidence in their ability to provide care but did not appear to alter their practice patterns significantly. Further study is needed to determine whether other barriers to pharmacists providing diabetes care exist in practice settings.
