Results: A total of five co-visits were completed out of a possible 19 (26%). Upon completion of the study, a survey was distributed to providers to collect feedback.

Schedules were reviewed to determine if the appointment slot opened by the co-visit was filled by another patient. Potential co-visit appointments were identified one week prior then provider consent was obtained to change the appointment into two separate 20-minute visits. Complex care appointments lasting 40 minutes were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methods: The co-visit model was implemented as a 4-month pilot study at the MHC FM Clinic. The secondary outcomes were to track the time spent with patients and to obtain provider feedback via a survey. The primary outcome was to identify the number of co-visits completed compared to the number of possible co-visits, and the number of appointment slots made available. Objectives: The aim of this study was to increase patient access to their PCP by utilizing a pharmacist-physician co-visit model at the Madsen Health Center Family Medicine (MHC FM) Clinic. Studies of the co-visit model show that co-visits increase clinic efficiency by allowing the PCP to see additional patients and achieve more health care goals compared with independent visits.

The pharmacist-physician co-visit model presents an opportunity for pharmacists to increase patient access to their primary care provider (PCP). Background: Implementation of a clinical pharmacist in the primary care setting can offset provider time spent managing chronic diseases using Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPAs).
