Barry Bunting,
PharmD, DSNAP, Vice President, Clinical Services,
American Health Care
|
Barry Bunting is a V.P. of Clinical Services for American Health Care, a pharmacist owned health and data management company that promotes a disease management model that uses pharmacists as health coaches for individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. He received his B.S. Pharmacy degree from Ferris State University and his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is a member of the National Academies of Practice in Pharmacy, and has published over two dozen articles in biomedical journals, including three that have received research paper awards. Prior to working for American Health Care he was Clinical Pharmacy Manager at Mission Hospitals, an 800 bed 4 hospital, tertiary care health system in Asheville, NC where he coordinated the award winning "Asheville Project". This pharmacist-driven disease management model has generated peer review journal research articles on more than 1000 patients over 10 years. It has been replicated in over 23 states and 3 countries and has been the subject of front page articles in the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and has been featured on NBC Nightly News. Most significantly it has demonstrated that pharmacists can be key players in collaborative health care models that improve care and control health care costs. The significance to hospital pharmacists interested in building ambulatory services is that they can provide clinical services for employees of their own hospital and help their employer control their organization's health care costs.
