An Essential Companion for Strategic Planning
To assist in strategic planning, the ASHP/ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Forecast examines developments in key areas that may be opportunities or challenges for practice leaders in the next five years. This resource reports the results of a survey of trend watchers in pharmacy, analyzes potential developments and presents actionable strategic recommendations.
The 2026 Report focuses on:
- Policy, Drug Costs, and the Financial Stability of Health Systems
- Realizing the Potential of Therapeutic Advances
- Stabilizing the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
- Environmental Sustainability and Resilience: A Strategic Imperative for Pharmacy Leaders
-
Patients as Consumers of Healthcare
-
Transforming Safety
Creation of the ASHP/ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Forecast 2026 report was supported by an unrestricted donation from Omnicell, Inc., to the David A. Zilz Leaders for the Future Fund of the ASHP Foundation.
