“…As medications continue to grow as a larger proportion of the overall health care budget, stewardship programs are increasingly necessary to rein in these expenditures. 21 IVIG represents one of the highest-cost medications for hospitals, and therefore, stewardship is an essential program for attenuating this expense. 4 Stewardship is a proven intervention for decreasing spending on high-priced medications when not clinically indicated through guideline adherence.…”

In the United States, pharmacists are responsible for the provision of safe, effective, efficient, and accountable medication related-care for hospital and health-system patients. Leveraging automated technologies, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacist extenders are the means through which efficient, effective, and safe medication use processes are created and maintained. These strategies limit the amount of pharmacist resources needed for nonjudgmental tasks such as medication distribution, allowing more capacity for advanced direct patient care roles.Pharmacists are directly integrated into interprofessional medical teams. Pharmacists optimize patient outcomes through a variety of channels, including: providing recommendations for evidence-based medication selection on patient care rounds; offering drug information to other health care providers and patients; monitoring therapeutic responses; and reconciling medications as patients transition across the continuum of care.Achieving the highest level of pharmacy practice necessitates that United States pharmacists are soundly educated and trained. Pharmacist education, training, and professional practice models closely mirror those of physicians. Many health-systems also pursue credentialing and privileging of pharmacists to ensure competency and facilitate growth and development. Advanced training, along with credentialing, privileging, and collaborative practice agreements have positioned pharmacists to serve as stewards of the medication use system, champions of patient safety, and essential contributors to optimal patient outcomes.

ASHP believes that complex hospitals and health systems benefit from having a pharmacy executive who is responsible for the strategic planning, design, operation, and improvement of their organization's medication management system. This individual (sometimes referred to as the "chief pharmacy officer" but hereafter "the pharmacy executive") must be properly positioned within the organization to ensure the best utilization of his or her expertise in all decisions regarding medication management. To promote effective communication, collaboration, and teamwork with peers, the pharmacy executive should • Have a title internally consistent with others reporting at that organizational level, • Report directly to the organization's principal executive (e.g., chief executive officer [CEO], chief operating officer [COO]), • Be involved in the organization's strategic planning regarding all components of the medication management process across the continuum of care,
