Abstract
Pharmacy policy should conceptualize a practice that is both attainable and stable. To attain consistency, predictability, and effectiveness in development and implementation of pharmacy practice innovations, a framework is required. Pharmacist embeddedness (PE) supports the uptake of innovations, the creation of new roles, and guides practice innovation. As paradigm and benchmark of practice, PE is consistent with the concept of 'seven-star pharmacist'.PE is based on a broader definition of practice. PE will help policy makers and practitioners to engage in proactive, objective, and meaningful practice innovation.
