abstract: 'Background: Funding is a significant barrier to employing general
practice pharmacists. Objective(s): To explore the feasibility of
determining the cost-benefit of pharmacists in Australian general
practice.
Methods: Two part-time pharmacists were employed by general practices in
Canberra, Australia. Diaries of the pharmacists were analysed to
determine time worked and participation in income-generating activities,
including Government-funded programs: Asthma Cycle of Care, Home
Medicine Reviews, and Health Care Assessments. Scenarios using different
practice and business models were entered into value-cost models to
determine the income generated by the pharmacists relative to their
salary.
Results: Over 19 weeks, pharmacists A and B supported 47 and 23 Asthma
Cycle of Care activities, generating income to the general practice of
AU\$4,700 and AU\$2,300, respectively. The pharmacists spent 36.4 and
24.1 hours on activities usually conducted by general practitioners
(GPs), allowing additional time for GP-patient consultations. Value-cost
models determined AU\$0.61 - AU\$1.20 income generation by pharmacists
per AU\$1 salary.
Conclusions: It was feasible to determine the value-cost ratios of
employing pharmacists in general practice using these methods. Future
work should focus on developing a robust business model that includes
health care system savings resulting from practice pharmacist
interventions, determined from randomised controlled trials.'
