Discussing pharmacist opportunities to impact performance

2010-09-02

BELLEVUE, WA, September 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) Pharmacy OneSource, software-as-a-service provider of Sentri7, a real-time patient surveillance, documentation and reporting system, is pleased to announce a complimentary webinar on core measure performance with Darin Smith, PharmD in "Opportunities for Improving Core Measure Performance Through Pharmacist Intervention."

The 2009 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R.3590) brings the concept of pay-for-performance (P4P) into legislative reality. Impending negative financial implications and increasing transparency of poor performance will further drive hospitals and health-systems to focus on quality and safety. Areas of emphasis include Core Measures, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS), hospital readmissions, and hospital-acquired conditions. Pharmacists can make significant contributions to impact performance in each of these domains.

Darin Smith, PharmD, will describe key activities performed by pharmacists at Norman Regional that impact core measure performance. Additionally, he will provide an overview of other opportunities for the pharmacist to impact performance within the value-based purchasing model.
