Abstract
U.S. pharmacy practice may be caught in the middle of a perfect storm. A shortage of primary care physicians, which stands to be exacerbated by droves of newly insured Americans this year, raises the question of whether other health care providers could pick up some of the slack. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) calls for the creation of accountable care organizations, which have the potential to engage pharmacists as full members of the health care team and allow them, and all other members of the team, to perform at the top of their skill sets and licenses. The HITECH Act is driving up use of electronic health records, which better situates pharmacists to collaborate with other members of the health care team.
