The role of the pharmacist has expanded drastically to include direct patient care by way of medication therapy management (MTM) and other forms of collaborative practice agreements with physicians.

It is well referenced and includes chapter summaries as well as highlighted key points throughout to reinforce important concepts. Within each chapter, web icons denote additional web resources with supplementary material. There is also an extensive section of web resources for patient education material for a variety of chronic disease states. **Assessment** Given the expansion of pharmacy services through innovative programs such as MTM and the patient-centered medical home model (PCMHM), this book is a very useful resource for those who wish to either build or expand their ambulatory care services. The key points highlighted throughout the book and the additional information provided through websites truly makes this a complete and thorough guide for those who wish to build a successful and thriving ambulatory care service. ----------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Numerical Score: 87 - 3 Stars --Michael C Barros, Pharm.D.(Temple University School of Pharmacy) MedInfoNow: Doody's Review Services (03/05/2012) Building a Successful Ambulatory Care Practice: A Complete Guide for Pharmacists.
