• Description:
  Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, accounting for seven of every ten deaths in this country. In 2014, one in every three deaths was due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). One in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, and almost half of these individuals do not have this condition under control. Team-based care results in personalized, timely, and empowered patient care—and it facilitates communication and coordination among team members. The evidence is strong that when pharmacists are members of the health care team, outcomes related to preventing or managing chronic disease (e.g., blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, obesity, smoking cessation) and medication adherence improve. The purpose of this guide is to empower community pharmacists and collaborating prescribers to initiate collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) focused on caring for patients with chronic diseases, including CVD
