Much too specific to managed care—unreasonable to expect all PharmD graduates to be able to do this. Item 15-- Explain the general structure and functions of alternative health-care delivery options, including integrated health systems, accountable care organizations, and patient-centered medical homes This is adequately covered by item 2 and can be eliminated. Item 28-- Demonstrate appropriate business and management skills. Much too broad; it would be difficult for educators to know what is “appropriate” for a managed care pharmacy setting. Item 31-- Apply project-management skills. Much too broad. Item 43-- Perform medication reconciliation for any patient transitioning from one care setting to another. This is adequately covered under item 40. Many managed care pharmacists do not work in integrated systems and would not have a great need to do this. Item 47--Evaluate the merits of a specific drug-related policy. Much too vague; doesn’t give much guidance to educators. 50
