Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake for adolescents and young adults in the United States remains far from national goals. Using a multi-component intervention aligned with community-wide efforts, we implemented a quality improvement project to increase HPV vaccinations among 9-26 year-old male and female patients in an urban, low income, minority population family medicine residency practice.
Methods: The pre-intervention year was November 2, 2014 to October 31, 2015 and the intervention year was November 1, 2015 to October 31, 2016.
Objectives: To (1) identify strategies for financial justification of pharmacists integrated into team-based primary care, (2) describe the payment models currently used for integration of pharmacists into team-based primary care, and (3) elicit key factors facilitating sustainable pharmacist-provided patient care services in the primary care setting.
Design: Qualitative analysis using semistructured interviews.
Setting: Nonacademic outpatient primary care physician practices throughout the United States from January to April 2014.
Background: Drug therapy problems, which are adverse events involving medications that can ultimately interfere with a patient's therapeutic goals, occur frequently in older adults. If not identified, resolved, and prevented through clinical decision-making, drug therapy problems may negatively affect patient health outcomes.
Objective: To quantify the impact of pharmacist interventions on the care of older adults by identifying the most common drug therapy problems, the medications most often involved in these problems, and the actions taken by pharmacists to resolve these problems.
Background And Objectives: Pharmacist inclusion in patient-centered medical home (PCMH) teams has been shown to benefit both patients and practices. However, pharmacists' inclusion on these teams is not widespread, partly because the work they do is not well known. The Successful Collaborative Relationships to Improve PatienT care (SCRIPT) project was started in August 2009 to understand the clinical and economic impact of pharmacists providing direct patient care.

Many prescriptions written are not evidence-based, resulting in unnecessary morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to assess feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a media literacy prescribing program.

Purpose: The impact of an interprofessional faculty development fellowship (FDF) on pharmacy graduates' careers is described.
Summary: The FDF instructional approach is a longitudinal acquisition and application of knowledge, skills, and attitudes fostered by clinical care delivery, teaching experiences, structured reflection, the giving and receiving of feedback, research and scholarly projects, and leadership development and exercises. Interprofessional FDF fellows teach, learn, and provide care together in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings as a part of the evidence-based medicine curriculum, providing educational sessions for medical students, pharmacy students, medical residents, attending family medicine physicians, and clinical pharmacy faculty throughout the year.
Objective: To determine the acceptance and attitudes of family medicine physicians, clinical and nonclinical office staff, pharmacists, and patients during pharmacist integration into a medical home.
Design: Qualitative study.
Setting: Pittsburgh, PA, area from August 2009 to June 2010.
