What Is CAPPNet?
CAPPNet is a voluntary organization of pharmacists committed to advancing pharmacy practice and improving patient medication use, clinical care and health outcomes. Members will participate in projects addressing pharmacy practice and health care models with an emphasis on the value of the pharmacist as a key member of the interprofessional healthcare team.
Mission
To address practice issues and conduct research to improve medication use and health outcomes and advance pharmacy practice across all settings: ambulatory care practice, community practice, hospital practice, and long-term care consultant practice.
Why now?
The profession of pharmacy is at a crossroads; there is tremendous opportunity for pharmacists to assume greater responsibility for medication management as part of an interprofessional healthcare team.
Recognizing these opportunities, the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy established the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Practice (CAPP). The Center, through research, education, engagement and scholarship, will facilitate the creation and translation of novel care delivery models within pharmacy practice that improve medication use and health outcomes.
As one of its first initiatives, CAPP has established the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Practice Collaborative Research Network (CAPPNet), a practice-based research network that will provide a mechanism for pharmacists to collaborate with their patients and academic researchers to improve delivery and outcomes of pharmacist-provided care.
