Original Research: Abstracts must describe original research in education, therapeutics, health sciences, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, or pharmacogenomics. Abstracts that describe
in vitro or animal research are welcome. Abstracts will be evaluated based on originality, hypothesis/objectives, study design, results, and conclusions. Papers may be assigned to platform format based on the desire of the presenter and the recommendation of the reviewers.
Clinical Pharmacy Forum: Abstracts must describe the delivery, development, justification, or documentation of innovative clinical pharmacy services. Abstracts dealing with payments or cost analyses are encouraged. Abstracts may be descriptive only and need not contain an evaluative component. The abstract must not have been published in abstract form or presented elsewhere prior to the 2013 ACCP Annual Meeting. Abstracts will be evaluated based on originality of the service or program, adequacy of justification/documentation, adaptability to other settings, and significance to clinical pharmacy. All papers will be assigned to poster format.
