Health System Pharmacy

Hospitals and Health Systems have evolved into a complete ecosystem for care services for many patients. Pharmacy services provided by these entities can range widely across multiple practice settings (spanning from Inpatient dispensing and clinical services, to large volume community pharmacy services, ambulatory and specialty clinic services, Specialty Pharmacy and formulary services, and even small volume rural community pharmacy services).

Health System Strategy Council (HSSC)

APhA recognizes that pharmacists working in hospitals and health systems need support, including tools and resources that will assist them in better caring for patients and themselves. To address these needs, APhA has established the Health System Strategy Council which aims to advance the professional success of health system pharmacy leaders and practitioners.

The Front Line

The HSSC Newsletter, The Front Line will feature diverse and contemporary information across three categories. Each category is intended to add value for a different segment of the APhA membership.

  1. APhA Member Updates
  2. Member Focus: Health System Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician
  3. Member Focus: Health System Pharmacy Leadership and C-Suite
