Abstract
Disclaimer: In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time.
Purpose: This article identifies, summarizes, and prioritizes published literature on the ambulatory care medication-use process (ACMUP) from 2023 that can describe ambulatory pharmacy practice. The medication-use process is the foundational system that provides the framework for safe medication utilization within the healthcare environment. The ACMUP is defined in this article as having the following components: transitions of care, prescribing, access, dispensing, adherence, and evaluating. Articles evaluating at least one step of the ACMUP were assessed for their usefulness toward practice improvement.
Summary: A PubMed search was conducted in January 2024 for the publication year 2023 using targeted Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) keywords and the table of contents of selected pharmacy journals, providing a total of 2,903 articles. A thorough review identified 52 potentially practice-enhancing articles: 6 for transitions of care, 11 for prescribing, 5 for access, 6 for dispensing, 8 for adherence, and 16 articles for evaluating. Trends gleaned from the highest-impact articles are described.
Conclusion: It is important to routinely review the published literature and to incorporate significant findings into daily practice. This article continues a series of articles defining and evaluating the currently published literature around the ACMUP. As healthcare continues to advance and care shifts to ambulatory settings, the ACMUP will continue to be a crucial process to evaluate.
