Objectives: To evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist practitioner (CPP) management on potentially inappropriate use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the ambulatory care setting. Design: Multicenter, prospective quality assurance/improvement (QA/QI) project. Setting: Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) and surrounding Ashtabula, Crawford, and Venango County Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). Participants: Thirty-five participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who met inclusion criteria were included in the project. Interventions: Participants were contacted to schedule an initial sixty-minute telephone visit with a CPP. Exacerbation history, rescue inhaler use, and symptom burden were assessed using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified Medical Research Counsel Breathlessness Scale (mMRC) scales. Medication regimens were optimized based on guideline recommendations with an emphasis on appropriate use of ICS. Participants were scheduled for follow-up telephone visits with the CPP every 4 weeks. Main Outcome Measures: The primary project outcome was potentially inappropriate use of ICS without a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/long-acting beta agonist (LABA). Secondary project outcomes included ICS de-escalation, vaccinations, and smoking cessation. Results: The primary outcome of reducing use of ICS without a LAMA/LABA was achieved in thirty-one (88.6%) participants. ICS de-escalation was achieved in twenty-three (65.7%) participants. Rates of recommended vaccinations and smoking cessation with nicotine replacement therapy increased as a result of pharmacist intervention. Conclusion: Pharmacist management of COPD in the ambulatory care setting was associated with a decrease in potentially inappropriate use of ICS and an increase in preventative care measures.
