Activity Goals and Learning Objectives

The purpose of this certificate-training program is to prepare pharmacists with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to engage in Collaborative Practices. For this workshop portion, learners will be engaged in the following learning exercises: case study scenarios (building from simple to complex); active learning presentations; and interactive collaborative discussions.

Chronic Disease Management in a Collaborative Practice

The Pharmacist’s Patient Care Process model will be used to showcase the delivery of patient care across all practice settings. Learners will be guided through an interactive learning experience of collaborative chronic disease state management with their peers. This cooperative learning activity will begin with patient intake; followed by data assessment; next, developing a patient care plan; followed by implementing the designed plan; and finally, monitoring and documenting the patient’s progress and following-up with collaborators and the patient.

Upon completion of these activities, the participant should be able to:

Collect sufficient subjective and objective data from the patient, patient’s records, and other collaborative healthcare professionals
Demonstrate an understanding of physical assessment procedures used to collect relevant patient data
Enter physical assessment data into the patient’s chart
Order lab tests based on a patient’s condition and need
Perform lab tests based on a patient’s condition and need
Enter lab test results data into the patient’s chart
Document your findings
Interpret relevant subjective and objective data to be able to assess the patient’s condition
- Evaluate patient assessment findings
- Evaluate lab value results
- Evaluate information gathered from patients
Document your assessment
Develop a Patient Care Plan
- Establish patient-centered goals
- Create a care management plan for a patient in collaboration with the healthcare team
Prioritize the steps needed to implement the care plan
Create the steps needed to monitor and evaluate the patient’s progress on the developed care plan
Document planned pharmacist-initiated patient interventions
Communicate the care plan to the patient and other collaborative team members
Coordinate, in a prioritized manner, a care plan in collaboration with the patient, physicians, caregivers, and other health professionals
Employ prevention approaches, including updating the vaccine record and early screening for diseases
Initiate, adjust, deprescribe, or administer medication therapy as defined in the CPA
Optimize patient outcomes through the appropriate use of mediations
Immunize against vaccine-preventable diseases
Deliver self-management training and medication therapy education to the patient or caregiver
Schedule follow-up visits as needed to achieve therapeutic goals
Document follow-up plans
Assess lab values and patient assessment findings to monitor a patient’s condition
Demonstrate how lab values are important to monitor for patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness
Monitor and evaluate, on a continuous basis the patient’s condition for:
- Safety, therapy effectiveness, and medication appropriateness
- Adherence to plan and therapeutic recommendations
Use patient feedback, biometric data, and notes from documented actions to measure clinical outcomes

Document the outcome and evaluation of pharmacist-initiated patient interventions

Collaborative Practice Agreements

Another key part of this Initial Collaborative Practices Certificate Program is gaining some experience in creating a representative CPA that meets the requirements of FS§465. Learners will participate in collaborative presentations and learning exercises with the program faculty and peers of developing a CPA in which you will be performing different patient care functions in managing a covered chronic disease state or condition. Upon completion of these activities, the participant should be able to:

Detail the requirements for a pharmacist to become involve in a CPA as outlined by §465
Synopsize the conditions that pharmacists must meet to join in and practice under a CPA in Florida
Discuss potential barriers to implementing a CPA
Describe the key components of a CPA
Construct an example CPA
Discuss successful models of a collaborative practice
Identify the major components of a business plan
Prepare a model business plan outline for your collaborative practice
Identify your competitive and strategic advantages
Outline marketing strategies for your collaborative practice
Create an elevator speech or a "30-second commercial" for your service
