Clinical outcomes research in pharmacy practice is essential to the sustained growth and maturation of the profession in the evolving health care system. Anecdotal evidence and ongoing studies have begun to identify and prioritize drug-related problems, methods to anticipate and solve these problems, and obstacles that will have to be overcome to maximize the place of pharmacy in health care. The health care system will change, and an increased level of pharmacist responsibility for paid pharmaceutical care should result in improved clinical outcomes. Clinical outcomes research is vital to demonstrate the effectiveness of pharmacists, document the cost benefits of pharmaceutical care, and determine a national standard of pharmaceutical care.
在不断发展的医疗保健系统中，药学实践中的临床结果研究对于该专业的持续发展和成熟至关重要。轶事证据和正在进行的研究已开始识别与药物相关的问题并确定其优先级、预测和解决这些问题的方法以及为使药学在医疗保健中占据最大地位而必须克服的障碍。医疗保健系统将会改变，药剂师对有偿药学服务责任水平的提高应会带来更好的临床结果。临床结果研究对于证明药剂师的有效性、记录药学服务的成本效益以及确定药学服务的国家标准至关重要。
