More than half a century ago, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists developed its earliest proposed practice standard -- the Proposed Minimum Standards for Pharmacies in Hospitals. Today, ASHP continues to foster concrete improvements in pharmacy practice and in the therapeutic use of drugs with Best Practices for Health-System Pharmacy: Positions and Guidance Documents of ASHP. These guidance documents have stimulated improvements in pharmacy practice and operations, influenced accreditation standards, laws, and regulations (both in the United States and in other countries), and contributed to an awareness among consumers and policymakers of the vital patient care role of pharmacists.
