Summary

This project is an initiative to bring physicians, nurses, community pharmacists and patients together in collaborative planning in the management of diabetes, which aligns with the collaborative, team based aspects of family medicine as a community based discipline. Alberta funds both physicians and community pharmacists to complete a comprehensive assessment and plan for patients with qualifying medical conditions. Our research hypothesis is that a collaborative approach between healthcare providers involved in delivering care will improve individual patient outcomes with the primary outcome being improved glycemic control. Health care utilization and medication adherence will also be assessed. This project will compare the results of comprehensive annual health care plans implemented over a period of twelve months with or without involvement from community pharmacists. It is hypothesized that involvement of community pharmacists and their collaboration with physicians will lead to improved outcomes.
