Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Community-based pharmacist practitioners are engaged with new opportunities and practice models including expansion of pharmacist scope of practice and enhanced patient care services. Furthermore, community-based pharmacist practitioners are providing care beyond the four walls of a pharmacy to meet the needs of patients in their communities. However, platforms for disseminating best practices, quality improvement, and implementation science and research remain limited for community-based pharmacy practice. For this Special Issue, we welcome you to contribute original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, quality improvement reports, short reports, case studies, and commentaries pertaining to a broader scope and best practices for community-based pharmacy practice.
The deadline for submissions for this Special Issue of the journal is 20 September 2022. All articles on topics related to “Community-Based Pharmacy Practice Quality Improvement and Research” should not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Submitted articles will be given accelerated reviews, and a decision will be forwarded to the author(s) within approximately four weeks of submission
