ASHP Policy Position 8205

STUDIES ON COSTS AND BENEFITS OF CLINICAL PHARMACY SERVICES (Discontinued)

Status: Discontinued
To request that the ASHP Research and Education Foundation encourage studies to assess costs and patient benefits of various clinical pharmacy services in different types and sizes of institutions.

This ASHP policy position was discontinued in 2006.

Rationale

This policy position was developed before preparation of a policy rationale became routine, so no rationale is available.

Background

This action was taken in response to a recommendation contained in the Council subcommittee report, “Developing Criteria for Selection of Patients Who Should Receive Clinical Pharmacy Services.”
