In order to fully leverage the pharmacist workforce in primary
care delivery, which is focused more and more on cost-effective
and team-based models, the pharmacist workforce must be
clearly understood. Policymakers and health professionals
must examine data that depicts the practice characteristics,
demographics, capacity, and even the evolving role of
pharmacists. Furthermore, these data must influence policy
discussions that may lead to a more efficient health system. This report provides a ‘snapshot’ of the most recent data on
Indiana’s pharmacist workforce, identifies emerging issues,
and presents information pertinent to workforce planning
and policy.
