PHARMACY

Since 2013, OPEN - the Ontario Pharmacy Evidence Network has established itself as a leader of medication management research in the province. Our collaborative and multi-institutional network of researchers and knowledge users continues to be a formidable mechanism for widespread system change to improve the benefits and reduce the harms from medications in Ontario... OPEN's research provides insight about how the knowledge and skills of pharmacy professionals can be best used and integrated within the broader healthcare system, and how healthcare teams can better work together to improve medication management in all healthcare arenas, including primary care and public health. We work to optimize the use of medications by doing and supporting research into current and emerging medication services, processes and policies from the perspectives of pharmacists, patients, physicians, government and others to ensure system sustainability, and future medication management policy and service..
