Editor’s note: This is the fourth installment of a multipart commentary prepared expressly for the May through September 2012 issues of the ACCP Report.
In this fourth installment of the series, we provide two illustrative cases as examples of how a clinical pharmacist would approach and document a patient in two different settings using the five models discussed in part II (http://www.accp.com/report/index.aspx?iss=0612&art=1) and part IIIA (http://www.accp.com/report/?iss=0712&art=2). One case involves a primary care setting, and the other focuses on an acute care setting. The clinician’s approach and documentation are included in each case for the five models: Pharmaceutical Care; Medication Therapy Management (MTM); Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC), MTM in the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH); the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA); and individualized Medication Assessment and Planning (iMAP). These examples are offered to help the reader visualize the applications of each model and thus compare and contrast the various approaches to specific patients.

In part IV, next month’s final entry in this commentary series, we will present a “composite” clinical pharmacy practice model for ACCP member discussion and feedback. This feedback will be sought (1) through an online member survey to be made available in mid-September, and (2) during the 2012 Annual Town Hall Meeting in Hollywood, Florida, on October 21. This will be your opportunity to voice your views on whether organized clinical pharmacy should promote a consistent patient care process that can be implemented in any practice setting and, if your answer is “yes,” what type of model should be considered. Your opinions will be essential to the process that will determine the College’s ultimate answer to this question.
