Pharmacists in C-Suites
The Pharmacists in C-Suites (PICS) is an initiative to represent pharmacist executives with expanded roles beyond the pharmacy enterprise. ASHP believes that hospital and health-system pharmacy leaders are well positioned to serve as highly-effective C-suite executives based on the education and training they receive. They are well versed in the growing clinical complexity of practice, the impact of pharmacy operations on enterprise-wide fiscal performance, the continued diversification of service lines, and the overall medication-use process in hospitals and health systems.
As the skills of hospital and health-system pharmacists become more widely recognized among healthcare leadership, we are seeing an increasing number of our members serving in high-level executive positions, including CEOs, COOs, and hospital presidents, along with vice presidents and executives of service lines outside of pharmacy.
PICS will provide a new membership home for these executives and focus on creating valuable connections and peer networking within the group. There will also be opportunities for current pharmacists in C-suite roles to mentor future leaders, stimulating pathways for advancement into executive and C-suite leadership positions in hospitals and health systems. Further, PICS participants will provide ongoing strategic advice to ASHP and our members on a broad array of important healthcare issues.
