Value-based care contracting for pharmacy drugs: opportunity for the United States.

The onset of improved data interoperability required as a result of the 21st Century Cures Act, 92% Health Information Exchange coverage, and lessons learned from European pharmaceutical risk-sharing models present innovative and timely opportunities for the U.S. to adopt pharmaceutical value-based contracting (VBC), which uses drug-level performance to allocate financial risk between payers and manufacturers based on clinical and economic metrics. Having been piloted in Italy, Spain, and the UK, this analysis explores different contracting options and paths for organizations like CMS and inte

Historically Black Colleges and Universities as anchor institutions for the rural pharmacy workforce.

BACKGROUND: Rural U.S. communities face persistent pharmacist shortages and pharmacy closures that restrict access to medications, chronic disease management, and other essential care. Pharmacy workforce scholarship has paid little attention to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), although they educate a disproportionate share of Black pharmacists, several are located in or near the rural South, and their missions emphasize service to underserved communities. Rural workforce research rarely examines race, and HBCU health professions research rarely examines rural practice, lea

Insomnia Symptoms in Doctor of Pharmacy Students in the United States: A Multicenter Study.

This study evaluated the presence of insomnia across multiple institutions and characterized symptoms to inform targeted interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, institutional review board-exempt survey of pharmacy students at nine schools in the United States between March and April 202

Paediatric-Pharmacy Shared Care Improves Access and Efficiency in Developmental Paediatrics.

BACKGROUND: Rising prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), has increased demand for developmental paediatric services.

Pharmacist-led shared care may improve capacity and access; however, evidence in paediatric outpatient settings remains limited. AIM: To evaluate the impact of a paediatric-pharmacy shared-care model on wait times, service capacity and efficiency compared with medical-only care. METHODS
