Abstract

Outcomes measurement will be key to the appropriate use of Pharmaceuticals as health care costs continue to rise. The generation of data showing the clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes of pharmaceutical care will be essential to avoid decision making based solely on cost and to ensure that cost-effective, high-quality health care remains the health care system's top priority.
