It doesn’t mean anything unless you prove it.
Pharmacists know we produce insane outcomes and improve the quality of life of our patients, but we need objective data to quantify our worth.
Perfecting Peds is elated to get published in The Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics
The outcomes prove objective measurements in quantifying the worth of a pediatric PharmD in the ambulatory space, providing longitudinal Comprehensive Medication Management to medically complex children.
Our team is using these outcomes to scale the U.S. Here is what we found:
- A 15% reduction in overall medication use. Pediatric polypharmacy is a real underreported, unrecognized problem in the U.S
- A 44% reduction in hospital readmissions predominantly by side effect management mislabeled as a diagnosis or ICD-10.
- A 1.1 million in cost savings and cost avoidance through validated pharmacoeconomic and actuarial methods.
Let’s change practice of pharmacy. Let’s make it impossible for other professions and organizations to ignore our worth. Let’s show our value as it relates to clinical services instead of tying our value to products.
