Descripción
HEARTS Pharmacy, a project within the HEARTS in the Americas Initiative, provides a framework to integrate pharmacists into primary health care. Pharmacists are highly respected in health care but face challenges, such as limited scope of practice, regulatory barriers, and insufficient recognition, compounded by social norms that hinder their full potential. This paper presents compelling evidence that pharmacist-led interventions improve blood pressure control, lower cardiovascular risk, and reduce health care costs. It underscores the role of national pharmacy systems in ensuring access to high-quality medications. HEARTS Pharmacy emphasizes the role pharmacists play in team-based care, highlighting their expertise in medication management, patient education, and adherence. This paper advocates policy changes that empower pharmacists with greater responsibility, enabling them to play an active role in patient care. It also recommends actions to fully integrate pharmacists into care teams, positioning them as key players in hypertension control and cardio-vascular disease risk management within primary health care.
