This national competition will recognize innovation and outstanding leadership in health-system pharmacy practice management and pharmaceutical care. The objective of the program is to foster innovation in pharmacy practice management in health systems by recognizing best practices in this area through a national competition. The program will offer affirmation and recognition to the pharmacy practice leaders who have achieved notable innovations, and it will stimulate other practice managers to adopt these innovations as well as to engage in their own creative management efforts that may merit future recognition by the program.
Many outstanding practices deserve recognition.
Activities that demonstrate leadership in health-system pharmacy management, especially in those areas that significantly improve the quality of patient care. The following are examples of activities that would warrant the ASHP Best Practices in Health-System Pharmacy Management Award. These examples do not exclude other programs deserving of national recognition. Establishing progressive clinical pharmacy services that demonstrate improvement in patient outcomes and reduced cost of treatment through pharmacists interventions. Demonstrating pharmacists ongoing involvement in the development and implementation of disease management plans or critical pathways.
