Abstract | Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare statin prescribing practices according to the American Diabetes Association's Design and methods: A retrospective observational study was completed using the electronic health record of a multispecialty private practice. A total of 176 patients were included in the study, with 88 each in the pharmacy and internal medicine groups. Patients were ≥40 years of age with diabetes and managed by an internal medicine provider or a pharmacist between January and December 2017. Descriptive statistics, χ Results: More pharmacy than internal medicine patients were prescribed appropriate statin therapy (47.7 vs. 34.1%, Conclusion: Although there were no overall significant differences in statin prescribing between the pharmacy and internal medicine groups, patients needing high-intensity statins, those who were female, and those who were younger were more likely to receive appropriate therapy when managed by a pharmacist. Appropriate statin prescribing remains low among diabetes patients, and optimization of this therapy should be prioritized. |
