Implementation Science and Shared Decision Making are two topics of research and patient care that are increasingly important to furthering pharmacy practice and improving patient outcomes. Implementation Science is the subject of both national pharmacy organizations and federal funding initiatives. It is the means to translating evidence from research to actual practice. Shared Decision Making is increasingly being recommended by guidelines and required by Centers for Medicare Services in certain areas of patient care. Pharmacists need to know how to engage in shared decision making with their patients in order to empower patients and improve communication. Specific topics include definitions of these topics, study designs, implementation frameworks, examples and application to clinical pharmacy, decision aids and decision aid development, current guideline recommendations, funding opportunities, how these are currently used, and implications for the future of clinical pharmacy practice.
