BackgroundSmoking rates in the United States are the highest in underserved rural regions. Thus, more points of contact are needed to link smokers to evidence-based cessation programs.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to conduct an evaluation to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and interest among rural pharmacists in implementing a pharmacist-facilitated smoking cessation program in independent community pharmacies in rural Appalachian communities in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.MethodsThis study utilized a complementary sequential mixed-methods approach to explore independent community pharmacists and technicians’ experiences and beliefs about implementing a tobacco cessation program in their pharmacy.ResultsThere were 49 pharmacists or technicians who completed the survey and 7 pharmacists who participated in the interviews. Four main findings emerged from the data: 1) pharmacies can help fill the gap in tobacco cessation services in rural communities, 2) under current practice, tobacco cessation resources when offered by independent community pharmacies are not always formalized, 3) there are known barriers, such as reimbursing for services, that need to be addressed to provide tobacco cessation in an independent pharmacy setting, and 4) the Ask-Advise-Connect model is a feasible tobacco cessation approach in a pharmacy.ConclusionAlthough pharmacists may be ideally situated to build capacity for smoking cessation in rural areas, smoking cessation interventions need to use existing approaches that compensate pharmacists for their time spent counseling patients. Furthermore, simple documentation and billing systems are needed to maximize utilization of tobacco cessation products and services provided in the pharmacy. 相似文献

BackgroundThe Appointment-Based Model (ABM) is a care model that helps community pharmacists streamline their medication dispensing workflow while simultaneously integrating patient care into the medication preparation process through medication synchronization. Implementation of the ABM has varied across community pharmacies. Further studies that identify tailored implementation approaches are needed to support broad adoption of the ABM in practice.Objectives(1) To determine facilitators and barriers to ongoing adoption and implementation of the ABM at a small chain of rural independent pharmacies where adoption has stalled and (2) to identify implementation strategies to support further adoption of the ABM at these pharmaciesMethodsThis project was an exploratory, mid-implementation study. Semistructured interviews were conducted with pharmacy staff who participated in the ongoing implementation and use of the ABM at the pharmacies. Interviews elicited stakeholder-centered perspectives on (1) experiences with the ABM to date, (2) processes and roles for the ABM, and (3) opinions on how implementation of the ABM could be improved at the pharmacies. Rapid qualitative assessment methodology was used for analysis to identify facilitators and barriers and to select implementation strategies.ResultsThirty-one pharmacy personnel were interviewed: pharmacists (n = 10), pharmacy technicians (n = 7), and fill clerks (n = 14). The research team identified 6 facilitators and 4 barriers to the implementation of the ABM at the pharmacies. Five implementation strategies were selected based on the facilitators and barriers: (1) capture and share local knowledge across pharmacy sites, (2) conduct educational outreach visits, (3) conduct ongoing training, (4) prepare patients to be active participants in the ABM, and (5) organize clinician implementation team meetings.ConclusionsDevelopment of a stakeholder-driven implementation approach may support further implementation and adoption of the ABM in practice. 相似文献

BackgroundFlip the Pharmacy (FtP) is a nationwide initiative to scale practice transformation in community pharmacies. Participating pharmacies are coached through monthly practice transformation initiatives and document their patient-care activities through Pharmacist electronic Care (eCare) Plans.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to identify peer coaching strategies to facilitate practice transformation in Pennsylvania community pharmacies.MethodsThis was a qualitative study using semistructured interviews with practice transformation coaches and pharmacy champions participating in Pennsylvania’s FtP program. The interview guide was informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and elicited information using the intervention characteristics, inner setting, characteristics of individuals, and process domains. Interviews were conducted in person or via telephone over a 3-month period. An inductive qualitative thematic analysis was performed to identify coaching strategies.ResultsA total of 18 key informants were interviewed: 6 pharmacy champions and 12 practice transformation coaches. The following 5 coaching strategies emerged: (1) learn to use the pharmacy’s specific Pharmacist eCare Plan software, (2) build a trusting relationship with the pharmacy, (3) engage all pharmacy team members in practice transformation, (4) adapt communication strategies to the pharmacy’s preference, and (5) tailor goals to the pharmacy’s stage of practice transformation.ConclusionThis study elicited 5 peer coaching strategies to support community pharmacy practice transformation initiatives. These findings can be used to further practice transformation efforts in community pharmacies through FtP and other initiatives aimed at expansion of community pharmacy patient care services. 相似文献

ObjectivesTo determine patients’ perceptions and expectations about medication therapy management (MTM) services pertaining to the core elements of an MTM service in the community pharmacy setting, and to develop educational strategies and outreach programs aimed at increasing patients’ knowledge of MTM services and the expanded role of pharmacists in the community pharmacy setting.DesignMulticenter, cross-sectional, anonymous study.SettingFour regional community chain pharmacies in Maryland and Delaware in January and February 2006.Patients81 patients who were 18 years of age or older and able to complete the survey.InterventionSurvey containing 14 questions administered within pharmacies, two of which had patient care centers that were providing clinical services.Main outcome measurePatients’ perceptions and expectations regarding MTM services.Results49 of 81 patients (60%) had never heard of MTM services. A total of 65 patients (80%) had never had or received a medication therapy review, 63 (78%) never had or received a personal medication record, and 70 (86%) never had or received a medication action plan. Some 56% of participants (n = 45) thought that pharmacist provision of medication therapy reviews, personal medication records, medication action plans, recommendations about medications, and referral to other health care providers was very important. At least 70% of participants (n = 57) thought that having one-on-one consultation sessions with pharmacists to improve communication and relationships with their pharmacists and to improve their medication use and overall health was very important. More than 50% of participants indicated that they would like to receive brochures or talk to their pharmacist to learn more about MTM services.ConclusionPatients have very limited knowledge of the core elements of an MTM service in the community pharmacy setting. Patients reported that pharmacist provision of MTM services was important, but they were concerned about privacy and pharmacists’ time. Patients are also supportive of and believe that MTM services can improve communication and relationship with their pharmacist and improve medication use. Patients appear to prefer receiving brochures and talking to pharmacists to learn more about MTM services. This survey identified a key opportunity for pharmacists to inform patients about MTM services. 相似文献
