title: Survey of ACCP members regarding health economics and outcomes assessment.
abstract: A letter and a questionnaire were sent to members of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) proposing the formation of a new outcomes and economics practice and research network (PRN). Members were requested to indicate their willingness to join the PRN by returning the questionnaire. More than 10% of the members (327/3007) expressed interest in joining the new PRN; the majority (309) also completed the questionnaire. They were most concerned with increasing their competence in outcomes and economics; developing, or having available, guidelines and standards for research methodologies; properly applying the methodologies to satisfy the informational needs of their institutions; and strengthening and advancing the position of clinical pharmacy.
