In a recent commentary, Grumbach1 suggested a Bauhaus Delivery Systems Principles approach to the redesign of the health care delivery system: all health care workers should function at the top of their level of training and skill with genuine teamwork. For doctoral-level trained pharmacists, this would mean that they “would not count pills” but instead “would counsel patients about complex polypharmacy regimens and spearhead interventions to eliminate medication errors, with pharmacy technicians and automated devices handling medication dispensing in retail pharmacies.”1(p2364)
