The Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners released an updated version of the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process, replacing the original framework established in 2014.
The update is the result of a two-year review led by a group of representatives from 14 national pharmacy organizations, according to an Aug. 19 news release from JCPP. The group used a consensus approach to assess the 2014 framework, including a decade of practical use and feedback from public comment.
The changes include a stronger focus on pharmacist expertise in medication management, person-centered care and health equity. The update also addresses shifts in healthcare delivery, including expanded scopes of practice and team-based care.
JCPP will establish an implementation task force to support adoption of the new model, the release said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
