Manasse Legacy Fund

“Redefining care models for pharmacists will not happen if we continue to simply do more of what we have been doing and deploying our scarce resources in the same way. It is time to be bold and forceful in our actions. We need a revolution of thinking in pharmacy practice that puts us at the forefront of patient care.”

Beliefs such as this one expressed by Dr. Henri R. Manasse, ASHP's executive vice president and CEO since 1997, have sparked the creation of the Henri R. Manasse Legacy Fund. The fund both honors Dr. Manasse, who will retire at the end of 2011, and provides support to programs that will continue his progressive vision for the future of health-system pharmacy.


Priorities of the Manasse Legacy Fund
Funds raised will be prioritized by the Foundation Board of Directors for immediate use for research and education programs including practice tools and implementation models that can help drive practice advancement at the local health-system level. The fundraising goal of the Manasse Legacy Fund is $2 million, with the following priorities:

• Expand the base of evidence for the value of pharmacists’ patient-care services. Fund research and demonstration projects that demonstrate the value of pharmacist-provided core clinical services, including for patients served by Accountable Care Organizations and Medical Homes.

• Expand pharmacists’ contributions to interdisciplinary patient-care teams. Fund research and demonstration projects in health systems that (1) validate tools to guide the deployment of pharmacists to patient care teams, (2) identify key factors related to successful integration of pharmacists into interdisciplinary patient-care teams and (3) outline steps that can be taken to foster pharmacist accountability for medication-related outcomes.

• Expand opportunities for pharmacy residency training. Fund evaluations of innovative residency program models that result in expansion of the number of residency-trained pharmacists.

• Develop and disseminate tools and resources to help advance the practice models in institutions. Produce evidence-based tools to guide pharmacy departments and individual pharmacists in pursuing practice model reform.

• Advance the capabilities and scope of practice of pharmacy technicians. Support new education and training opportunities for pharmacy technicians, with an emphasis on preparation for innovative roles for technicians that permit a significant shift in pharmacist time toward direct patient care.

• Speed adoption of new technologies and strategies that enable advanced pharmacist practice. Foster the use of information technology that allows pharmacists to provide patient-care services more efficiently and effectively.
