Strategic planning for patient-specific clinical pharmacy services.
Planning for the development, implementation, or redirection of new or existing clinical pharmacy services necessitates that several key issues be addressed. Managers must submit to critical subjective and objective evaluation of their departmental practices as a first step to the development of a strategic plan to meet goals for pharmacy practice. Strategic plans must address the mission of the department and clearly define the management systems and practice model that will achieve that mission. The strategic plan must be structured for the purpose of obtaining organizational commitment to the strategic goals and to the programs and resources that will allow those goals to be realized.
