    Although the profession will maintain responsibility for the safe and effective distribution of medications, this will no longer be the primary focus of pharmacy practice in the future. Increased emphasis will be placed on optimizing patient outcomes and decreasing overall health care expenditures. Pharmacists will function within interprofessional teams as the evidence based “pharmacotherapy specialists” handling complex medication related issues throughout all aspects of care. They will assess, treat and/or triage patients with acute illnesses within their scope of clinical competence and privileges, and provide medication therapy management for chronic disease.

    Pharmacists will function with the autonomy to prescribe or adjust medications in collaboration with physicians. Pharmacists will engage in preventative health and wellness activities and provide appropriate patient specific interventions. Pharmacists will serve as a vital resource to educate other health care providers as well as patients. Due to continual change in the healthcare environment, pharmacists will need to develop adaptive practices and systems in order to advance patient care.

    The practice ready HCOP graduate should be able to:

    • Provide direct patient care
    • Provide evidence-based pharmacotherapy services
    • Serve as a health educator
    • Optimize clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes
    • Function within an interprofessional team
    • Distribute medications safely and effectively
    • Manage Pharmacy Practice
    • Provide preventative health and wellness services
    • Change Healthcare Environment/Advocacy
    • Personal and Professional Development
