Innovation in Expanded Pharmacy Care Health and Wellness Approaches in the Grocery Retail Environment

Health care systems in Canada and countries around the world are challenged by increasing
demands for services, while providing those services within fixed health agency budgets. To address
these challenges, the Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation, Loblaw Company Limited and
Green Shield Canada has formed a collaborative partnership. The proposed research will engage
academic and industry researchers, key decision-makers, pharmacists and dietitians in examining
and exploring the impact of new, expanded models of pharmacy care in retail grocery store settings
that focus on achieving health and wellness outcomes for communities. In addition, the impact of
expanded pharmacy practice roles will be examined for potential program development opportunities
for employee health products designed to enhance employee health and wellness outcomes in
workplace settings.
