Short Story:
  • Addition of 50 clinical pharmacists to be integrated into primary-care networks across the province
  • “Fully utilizing the expertise of health professions and creating these new clinical pharmacist positions is another crucial step in establishing patient-centred, team-based care that addresses undermet needs and gaps in care for patients dealing with complex conditions,” Dix said.
  • The new positions will be put in place over three years and will cost the province $23 million in conjunction with University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • UBC will recruit, train and coordinate the clinical pharmacists and evaluate the impact of this developmental program over the next three years.
  • “Working together with local pharmacists has meant improved care for my patients,” said Dr. Eric Cadesky, president of Doctors of BC.

ASIDE
Please be advised:

23,000,000 divided into 50 over 3 years is approx $153,000
Keep in mind: 

The $23m probably includes costs other than labour cost of pharmacist e.g. administrative, start-up costs, training costs
This # probably also includes health benefits, pension contribution, etc.
