Prioritizing value-based care principles and patient engagement outcomes will help integrate the pharmacist as a key member of the patient care team, according to a new report from the Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA).
Pharmacists are some of the most central healthcare figures in patients’ lives, according to PQA CEO Laura Cranston, RPh.
“Pharmacists are the clinicians most accessible to patients and uniquely positioned to provide care that effectively engages patients in medication management and chronic disease management,” Cranston said in a statement. “The recommended actions identified by this task force can help pharmacists sustainably partner with payers and other healthcare stakeholders to deliver essential, value-based care.”
