This study systematically reviewed economic evaluations of United States-based CPS published between 2018 and 2022. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, IPA, and CINAHL in September 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed pharmacist-based CPS reporting economic outcomes or program costs. Studies where the pharmacist's individual economic impact could not be isolated were excluded. Study quality and risk of bias were assessed based on study design and the Quality of Health Economic Studies (QHES) instrument for full economic evaluations. Descriptive statistics summarized study characteristics. (PROSPERO #CRD42023449047). A total of 103 articles met inclusion criteria. Of these, 35% were disease state management, 28% general pharmacotherapy monitoring, and 27% targeted drug programs. Intervention settings included 35% hospital sites, 28% ambulatory care, and 9% community pharmacies. Telehealth delivery was reported in 36% of the studies, while 16% focused on outcomes related to reimbursement or return on investment. Economic evaluation types included descriptive (53%), partial evaluations (30%), and full economic evaluations (17%). According to the American College of Clinical Pharmacy process of care components, 57% included patient assessment, medication therapy evaluation, care plan development and implementation, and follow-up evaluation. The median and interquartile range (IQR) QHES score for the full evaluations was 68 (46–82) out of 100. This review highlights the need for improved methodological rigor and comprehensive economic evaluations to support the long-term viability and reimbursement of CPS, particularly among services delivered via telehealth.</p>","PeriodicalId":73966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy : JACCP","volume":"8 5","pages":"385-397"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cystatin C was made available as an alternative marker at our institution, prompting the formation of a multidisciplinary task force to guide its use and resolve discrepancies in clinical practice using a Plan-Do-Study-Act framework. Plan-Do-Study-Act is a validated approach to developing and evaluating interventions to ensure that changes to a process result in the desired improvement. The task force developed pharmacist-focused education, creating guidance documents and asynchronous training with competency assessments. An audit revealed that cystatin C was primarily used in intensive care units for dosing antibiotics like cefepime and vancomycin. In response, updates to clinical decision support systems in electronic medical records were made. A progress note template was designed and implemented to communicate cystatin C assessments and dosing changes based on this kidney filtration marker.

Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) programs, where clinical pharmacists co-manage patients alongside primary care physicians, offer a team-based approach that has been shown to improve diabetes care. However, managing CMM programs across multiple sites presents operational challenges that can be addressed through digital tools. This “how-to” guide provides an overview of developing and implementing a CMM Dashboard to enhance program management and patient outcomes in a large municipal health care system. Key components include tracking patient demographics, clinical outcomes (e.g., hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure), and operational metrics across 21 sites. Practical applications of the dashboard are outlined with a focus on real-time data analysis, care gap identification, and optimizing resource utilization. By consolidating comprehensive program data, the CMM Dashboard supports clinical decision-making, informs leadership on program performance, and enables targeted interventions to improve health outcomes for underserved populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":73966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy : JACCP","volume":"8 5","pages":"358-366"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
