Description: In 1990, Hepler and Strand famously called for the pharmacy profession to "change the focus of practice from products...to ensuring the best drug therapy and patient safety". Unfortunately, 30-years later, the National Pharmacist Workforce Study shows that on average, across all practice settings, pharmacists still spend only a small fraction of their time performing "patient care services not associated with medication dispensing". This CE program will 1) introduce participants to John List's five "vital signs" that any service, product or idea must pass to have a chance for scale, and 2) facilitate a discussion about how well various "non-dispensing services" perform on each of those vital signs.
Learning Objectives:
1. List major efforts over the last 30 years to shift the focus of pharmacist responsibilities from products to services.
2. Identify the approximate percentage of time community pharmacists spend per week on patient care services not associated with medication dispensing.
3. List the 5 “vital signs” that indicate a product or service’s potential to achieve and sustain at scale.
4. Given a list of potential non-dispensing services, identify which one is most likely to achieve and sustain at scale.
5. Identify potential strategies for addressing the most challenging vital signs in relation to scaling non-dispensing services.
