“…Team-based models in community centres with health education and pharmaceutical expertise have evidenced accomplishments in treating HCV among uninsured populations. 46 Furthermore, trust in Clemson Rural Health and the MHCs was achieved with underserved populations through community connections and dedication to revisiting communities. Through coordination with community partners, Clemson Rural Health identified locations within underserved regions that were best suited for allocation of the MHCs.…”

“…Literature discusses pharmacists engaging in interprofessional care models to support adherence, side effect management, and treatment success. [38][39][40][41][42] Integration of the 340B Drug Pricing Program through HRSA 43 into pharmacies on-site or contracted with FQHCs, as well as pharmacist engagement in navigating complex insurance requirements, have facilitated access to these expensive therapies used to treat HCV and HIV. This has specifically been cited in rural and uninsured populations.…”

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are critical to providing care to underserved populations in the United States. Their focus on interprofessional care has also made FQHCs ideal locations to integrate pharmacists into care teams and advance pharmacy practice. However, despite long-standing involvement by pharmacists, there have been limited attempts to synthesize this literature. We conducted a comprehensive search for published literature on the roles of pharmacists in FQHCs and narrowed our search to 54 manuscripts and abstracts for inclusion in this narrative review. We found that pharmacists in FQHCs are providing care that is interprofessional, multifaceted, and evolving rapidly in response to environmental changes.Pharmacists are routinely involved in the traditional management of chronic disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, behavioral health, and respiratory conditions. In addition, pharmacists have forged roles in preventive care, infectious disease, and pain management. Models include appointment-based approaches; however, there was also heterogeneity in approaches consistent with the dynamic nature of the healthcare system in the United States with engagement in population health, transitions of care, and telehealth, as a few examples. Collaborative practice agreements were used to deliver care in some cases, although this was not commonplace, and reimbursement by third party payers was rarely addressed. Relationships with community pharmacies, often driven by the 340B Drug Pricing Program, were also noted.Recommendations for future research in this area include increasing the rigor of future research by standardizing pharmacy interventions and including comparator groups, a greater focus on financial sustainability, and further exploration of how state laws surrounding pharmacist provider status and scope of practice impact pharmacy service development.
