AAFP Defines Role of Pharmacists, Family Physicians in Health Care Delivery System
ann@aafp.org Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:35:00 -0600
The AAFP has issued a revised position paper that helps to define the professional relationship between pharmacists and family physicians in an integrated health care delivery system. The AAFP recognizes the "evolving complexity and proliferation of pharmaceutical agents and (the) important role pharmacists play in the delivery of high quality health care," says the position paper. And "The AAFP supports arrangements where the pharmacist is part of an integrated team-based approach to care." However, the paper adds, the AAFP believes "only licensed doctors of medicine, osteopathy, dentistry and podiatry should have the statutory authority to prescribe drugs for human consumption."
