From the Paper:

"According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, a number of new opportunities are arising for pharmacists due to managed care organizations. Pharmacists will increasingly be asked to analyze trends and patterns in medication use for their patient populations. It is also expected that pharmacists will be conducting more research, analyzing disease management techniques and specializing in pharmacoeconomics, or determining the costs and benefits of different drug therapies (197). In his book Opportunities in Pharmacy Careers, Fred Gable says that more changes have occurred in this past decade in the pharmacy field than in the last 100 years."
