The Vision for Pharmacy
The Blueprint for Pharmacy is a long-term initiative designed to catalyze, coordinate and facilitate the changes required to align pharmacy practice with the health care needs of Canadians. The Vision for Pharmacy is:
"Optimal drug therapy outcomes for Canadians through patient-centred care"
The Blueprint for Pharmacy is a collaborative initiative, led by the Canadian Pharmacists Association, to develop and achieve this vision for the future of pharmacy in Canada.
Achieving the vision
Following extensive consultations, the profession has developed a Vision for Pharmacy and an Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan includes key actions and deliverables and identifies potential leaders for each.
The Organizational Commitment to Act is signed by all national pharmacy organizations, faculties, provincial pharmacy associations, provincial regulatory authorities, student societies and major community pharmacies that have pledged to work collaboratively towards "optimal drug therapy outcomes for Canadians through patient-centred care."
