Abstract

In this report, we suggest how pharmacy personnel may be used to alleviate some of the pressures currently impacting health system administrators. We look back to the role(s) of the hospital pharmacy and the hospital pharmacist historically and outline changes that have occurred and how these changes may be helpful to address several problem areas in the ambulatory care venue.
