Emerging Practices in Diabetes Prevention and Control: Working with Pharmacists
The CDC recently released Emerging Practices in Diabetes Prevention and Control: Working with Pharmacists, a document examining the role of pharmacists in chronic disease management. This document highlights experiences from three 1305 grantees—Colorado, Iowa, and Ohio—in involving pharmacists in medication therapy management and team-based care. The states describe the roles they play and their partners played, facilitating factors and barriers, initial results, and lessons learned.
This project was done in collaboration between the state public health departments, schools of pharmacy, the Colorado Pharmacists Society, Iowa Pharmacy Association, and Ohio Pharmacists Association, and other partners.
