Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The imperative of meeting current global healthcare challenges requires advancing pharmacy practice in a global context. This research aimed to design and develop a valid and consented set of global goal-oriented pharmaceutical development frameworks and corresponding indicators to support and guide systematic practice transformation needed to meet the national and global pharmaceutical healthcare demands of changing population demographics. METHODS: Part 1 of the research project This research used a mixed-methods approach. A series of international expert focus groups were conducted to evaluate the acceptance of a set of proposed global pharmaceutical development goals (PDGs). This was followed by recruiting global pharmacy leaders who participated in a modified nominal group technique to further develop the content of the initial PDGs framework. In a subsequent study, a qualitative modified Delphi approach was employed by a panel of international experts to ensure the credibility and content validity of the framework outputs and generate consensus on a final matrix of the proposed global PDGs. Part 2 of the research project A content analysis of the relevant collated data followed by a Delphi process of an international Expert Group was performed to identify and establish initial consensus on potential indicators aligned with the published PDGs framework. Delphi method’s outcomes were used to conduct a global cross-sectional online questionnaire to assess and validate the relevancy and availability of the proposed indicators. RESULTS: Part 1 of the research project A globally validated and consented set of systematic PDGs (systematic framework) for development comprising 21 PDGs along with their descriptions and mechanisms to shape and guide global pharmacy practice transformation. Part 2 of the research project A set of correlated and validated transnational evidence-based indicators that will monitor national-level progress and measure the advancement of the 21 PDGs worldwide across workforce/education, practice, and pharmaceutical science. CONCLUSION: A systematic and globally consented set of PDGs, along with evidence-based progress indicators, was generated to monitor the sustainable advancement of pharmaceutical practice and support a needs-based roadmap for pharmacy practice transformation.
