Article Synopsis
- The Defense Health Agency includes over 700 facilities and serves more than 9.6 million beneficiaries, relying on pharmacists to improve medication therapy and reduce costs.
- The Tripler Pilot Project established a staffing model suggesting one clinical pharmacist for every 6,500 beneficiaries, but a comprehensive cost-benefit study of clinical pharmacists within the military health care system is lacking.
- The study aims to validate this staffing model, provide a cost-benefit analysis, and document pharmacy interventions by analyzing three years of clinical pharmacist encounters through the Tri-Service Workflow, focusing on the impact of staffing and efficiency on health care provision.
