The scope of pharmacy services has expanded in many Canadian jurisdictions in recent years, with each province and territory taking a different approach to optimize these changes for better health and value.
This report showcases a modelling study that estimates the health and economic impact of three services currently delivered within a community pharmacy setting that have the potential to be expanded: smoking cessation, advanced medication review and management for cardiovascular disease, and pneumococcal vaccination.
Over the 20-year forecast period, the estimated economic value of expanding these services ranges from $2.5 billion to $25.7 billion. We also expect a large return on investment for all three services over the medium and long terms.
