Abstract	OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of pharmacist recommendations to health care providers, as part of PharmacistCARE, a single-center, pharmacist-run, diabetes medication therapy management (MTM) service. If the recommendation was accepted, a secondary objective was to measure the length of time for acceptance. DESIGN: Prospective assessment. SETTING: University of Kentucky (UK), from March 2003 through December 2006. PATIENTS: 172 adult patients with diabetes enrolled in the UK Health Plan who participated in the DiabetesCARE program. INTERVENTION: Pharmacists provided medication therapy-related recommendations to health care providers. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Acceptance of pharmacist recommendations by health care providers, length of time to acceptance, and cost savings attained with formulary recommendations. RESULTS: A total of 692 recommendations were sent to health care providers; 425 (61.4%) were accepted. A total of 578 clinical recommendations were related to drug therapy problems; 348 (60.2%) were accepted by health care providers. Median time to acceptance for clinical recommendations was 13.5 days (0-229). Formulary recommendations accounted for 114 (16%) of the total recommendations, 77 (67.5%) were accepted, and median time to acceptance was 47.2 days (0-172). Average monthly cost savings per accepted formulary recommendation was \$13.59 for the health plan and \$13.85 for the patient. CONCLUSION: A similar percentage of health care provider acceptance (61.4%) was seen compared with previous studies of pharmacists' interventions in different practice settings. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate time to acceptance of pharmacist recommendations to health care providers, including the resolutions made through collaborative drug therapy management. Lastly, the current study reinforces the assertion that pharmacists can positively affect cost savings for both the patient and health plan, through formulary management.
