Purpose: The methods and processes utilized to deploy the Pharmacists Achieve Results with Medications Documentation (PhARMD) Project intervention template across the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States are described.

The template is completed by the CPSs as part of progress note documentation within the EHR.
