摘要：

Pharmacists, highly trained and accessible health care professionals, continue to be underused in American communities. Helping pharmacists to make the best use of their extensive clinical education and skills is a primary focus for the discipline's leaders. The University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy's PRISM initiative (PeRformance Improvement for Safe Medication Management) creates opportunities to partner with other health professionals or programs to advance the pharmacist's role in the community. All stakeholders must understand the evolving health care climate as society moves toward "health care without walls" (i.e., health care that is innovative, convenient, and likely to be entirely different than previous models). This article discusses progress made in Connecticut to advance pharmacy practice and describes programs that, if replicated in other areas of the country, could significantly improve care for vulnerable populations, especially the elderly. Programs that have been especially useful have emphasized the difference between needing medical versus pharmacy services, and approached provision of care in entirely new ways.
