The objectives of this project are to: 1. Initiate collaborative practice agreements for diabetes (DM), hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLD), and anticoagulation with a nurse practitioner who cares for geriatric patients at two Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) serviced by O?Reilly Family Pharmacy. 2. Develop a financially sustainable model of pharmacist-led care via pharmacist billing under provider status in Ohio. 3.

Measure and assess patient satisfaction after pharmacist intervention in order to gather support for pharmacist-provided care in ALFs. 5. Build upon CPF Grant Award #178 to create a best practices model to guide workflow, billing and implementation strategies for pharmacies interested in establishing collaborative practice agreements and providing care in ALFs.
