With passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, the integrated health care model has become standard in the United States. Implementing integrated healthcare teams has been empirically shown to improve patient health outcomes and reduce health care costs system-wide. Pharmacists are positioned to play a pivotal role, especially as health educators, in this new model. However, several systemic and policy-related barriers may impede pharmacists from realizing their full potential in the new integrated healthcare world. This paper describes the evolving integrated health care system and pharmacists’ potential role in it. Through the use of real-world case examples, we elucidate how promoting pharmacists’ full participation is likely to positively affect patient health outcomes. We conclude with some policy considerations related to pharmacists’ abilities to function as key agents of change within the integrated health care system.
