Abstract

The Institute of Medicine has set a goal that “by the year 2020, 90% of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up-to-date clinical information and will reflect the best available evidence.”1 Providing team-based patient-centered care that incorporates patient preferences, evidence, and clinical expertise is the future of health care. As crucial members of the health care team, pharmacists must acquire skills needed to provide patient-centered care, such as the ability to obtain evidence and evaluate the literature.
