ASHP Practice Advancement Initiative 2030: New recommendations for advancing pharmacy practice in health systems.

PURPOSE: The process of updating the recommendations of the ASHP Practice Advancement Initiative (PAI) is described, and the new recommendations targeted toward the year 2030 are presented.
SUMMARY: The process for updating ASHP recommendations for pharmacy-practice change included online surveys of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other stakeholders; extensive discussions by an advisory panel, a strategic planning group, and participants in a town hall session at a national conference; an online public comment period; and final approval by the ASHP Board of Directors.
CONCLUSION: The guidance offered by the 59 updated PAI recommendations, which take into account environment trends that are likely to affect the pharmacy enterprise, will help health-system pharmacists in their ongoing pursuit of optimal, safe, and effective use of medicines. © American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2019.
