Barriers and facilitators to the dissemination and implementation of cognitive services in Spanish community pharmacies / Barreras y facilitadores para la diseminación e implantación de servicios cognitivos de la farmacia comunitaria espa ola

The implementation of cognitive services in the community pharmacy is proving to be slower than expected. A number of authors have described barriers to implementation, and facilitators that might contribute to accelerating the process. This paper reviews the literature on these two groups of elements in Spain. Descriptions of the barriers show no common pattern, and some of the studies contain important omissions. Moreover, we have been unable to find any papers specifically dealing with the search for facilitators.
