Estimated Potential Financial Impact of Pharmacist-Delivered Disease Management Services Across a Network of Pharmacies in Rural Colorado.
Article in Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study summarizes the potential financial impact of a 3-year collaboration focused on delivering disease management services through pharmacies in 12 rural Colorado communities.
objectivesTo (a) identify components within the disease management program that would be billable and generate revenue to each pharmacy and (b) estimate the revenue amount that could be generated based on these services across the 3-year project.
methodsReimbursable services included diabetes self-management education; medication therapy management services, including the comprehensive medication review; and improvements in Medicare star ratings through pharmacy interventions.
resultsAn estimated total of $117,800 could have been generated by services provided to patients across the 12 pharmacy sites. After subtracting the estimated cost of labor for a pharmacist to provide these services, an estimated net profit of $60,023 resulted over 3 years. Star rating impacts were discussed but were not able to be included as specific revenue based on the complex contracting between pharmacies and third-party insurers.
conclusionsBased on these estimates, delivery of chronic disease management could represent a financially feasible option for community pharmacists. Some credentialing and changes to the mode of delivery would be required to meet billing requirements. Further research is needed to better estimate the cost savings resulting from these services to possibly expand pharmacists' reimbursement opportunities.
