PACE programs (Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) across the United States provide a valuable service to older adults with a significant nursing need by allowing them to remain safely living in the community for as long as possible through the provision of extensive, community-based health care services to its participants. Clinical pharmacists have previously been underutilized in PACE, but ample opportunity exists to provide meaningful pharmacy services within PACE programs. Pharmacists working in PACE programs can expect to significantly impact clinical outcomes, health care expenditures, and patient advocacy. |
