The pharmacist's role in supporting people living with cystic fibrosis

There is potential for provision of outpatient pharmacy clinical services to increase medication adherence and overall quality of care for patients with CF. Higher rates of medication adherence in patients with CF could in turn improve patient outcomes and reduce overall health care costs as a result of fewer rehospitalizations. Pharmacies can implement programs designed to provide comprehensive support services and medication management from pharmacists and staff that are trained in CF care.
