Call to action: expansion of pharmacy primary care services in a reformed health system.

The 2009-10 Argus Commission was charged to examine the topic of the pharmacist’s contribution to primary healthcare delivery in the context of national healthcare reform and identify the resources of the Academy and the profession needed to engage in the national conversation. The charge further requested the Argus Commission to scan the environment to determine the opportunities for expansion of primary healthcare capacity to include pharmacists’ unique contributions to quality, cost, and access as medication use specialists on the team.
