NIRN Co-Director, Dr. Melanie Livet's work was presented at the Pharmacy Quality Alliance Annual Meeting in Baltimore last week. PQA is the national quality organization where health care decision makers come together to improve medication safety, adherence and appropriate use. A measure developer, researcher, educator and convener, PQA’s quality initiatives support better medication use and high-quality care. PQA’s Annual Meeting attracts more than 450 healthcare executives and quality professionals from across PQA’s multi-stakeholder membership. The meeting features dozens of speakers and sessions providing timely information -- and networking opportunities with influencers and decision makers from health plans, community pharmacy, life sciences and technology, government and academia. Her work titled, "Screening and referral programs for diabetes and cardiovascular disease: Can community pharmacists serve as care extenders?" and "Implementation of Behavioral Health Programs in Community Pharmacies: Lessons Learned" are linked below.
