Mean board certification prevalence per pharmacist full-time equivalent (FTE) was 63.2% ± 34.7%, 32.9% ± 18.9%, and 35.7% ± 18.6%, respectively. The most common incentive was full reimbursement (25.3%), and 83.4% of respondents perceived board certification as having the greatest value on department culture and process. Comparing hospitals with ≥33% versus <33% of pharmacist FTEs with board certification, a significant difference was found in 30-day readmission rates post-coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) (12.3% vs. 11.5%; <i>p</i> = 0.018).

Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professionals in community settings, and they practice in all settings across the health care continuum.
