Description:New ways to expand team-based health care are needed to protect the health of Americans. Many chronic diseases, which are increasing with the aging U.S. population, are preventable or manageable. The role of the pharmacist has expanded beyond just dispensing medications and is evolving into active participation in chronic disease management as a part of team-based care. Programs addressing chronic diseases in state health departments and communities can build team relationships through public and private partnerships. We intend for this guide to serve as a starting point for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grantees to build these relationships with pharmacists and other strategic stakeholders. The objectives of this guide are to provide the following information: Basic definitions for medication therapy management, comprehensive medication management, and collaborative drug therapy management; A description of the role of the pharmacist in team-based health care; Evidence to support maximizing pharmacists' engagement in team-based health care; An overview of pharmacist scope of practice policies at the federal and state levels; A description of how chronic diseases are addressed in community pharmacies; Examples of medication therapy management from state health departments; Strategies for working with pharmacists.

Content Notes:"Publication date: 08/2012."
The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is working to transform CDC's chronic disease activities by focusing national and state efforts on the '4 Domains' listed below: 1. Environmental Approaches: Make healthy behaviors easier and more convenient for more people. 2. Health Systems: Improve delivery and use of quality clinical services to prevent disease, detect diseases early, and manage risk factors. 3. Community-Clinical Linkages: Ensure those with or at high risk for chronic diseases have access to quality community resources to best manage their conditions. 4. Epidemiology and Surveillance: Provide data and conduct research to inform, prioritize, deliver, and monitor programs and population health. Within the Community-Clinical Linkages domain, CDC's Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) and Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (HDSP) Programs both include a focus on enhancing the role of community pharmacists in team-based care as outlined below: DPCP Core Diabetes Interventions and Strategies: "Expand the role of allied health professionals by replicating and scaling evidence-based programs founded on the principles of the Asheville Project and the Diabetes 10-City Challenge;" HDSP Programs Strategies for States to Address the "ABCS" of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention: "Promote use of pharmacists as health care extenders to promote control of hypertension and high blood cholesterol."
