Abstract

Managed care pharmacists are involved formally with the interface between the delivery and financing of health care; their work thus entails an accountability for both elements. Interpreted broadly managed care pharmacists are pharmacists working within the sphere of a health care system, health care purchaser, health insurer, managed care organization, or benefit administration agency. Patients, the pharmacy profession, and society are best served by this broad interpretation, because the interdependency of financing and delivery is inextricably linked to the achievement of good health outcomes. This continuing feature will explore contemporary issues facing managed care pharmacists.
