Over the last several decades, information has been collected from health professionals during online license renewal. In 2018, Senate Enrolled Act 223 identified selected pieces of information (including educational and practice characteristics) as critical to the state of Indiana. Beginning in 2019, it will now be required for health professionals to provide this information when they renew their license.
Pharmacists’ primary responsibilities include dispensing and managing medications and educating patients on medication use. In addition to traditional responsibilities, pharmacists are also taking on new roles delivering patient services in various health care settings as a part of care teams. As the pharmacy profession evolves, policymakers, educators, and health administrators will need to have a good understanding of the workforce to inform effective policy development and implementation.

The data used for the 2018 Pharmacist Data Report were extracted from the survey data from these files provided by IPLA through the Indiana State Department of Health.
