Ongoing Impact
Check out the new 'Ongoing Impact' feature on the updated website. This information can be found on grants that demonstrate how an initial CPF grant has either expanded or 'opened new doors' to advance pharmacy practice. The first two examples that feature this information are the following:
-
Texas Pharmacy Association (Kim Roberson, RPh; Debbie Garza, BSPharm)
|
|
The grant for the 'Texas Hypertension Adherence Program' has increased in scope. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has expanded its partnership with the Texas Pharmacy Association (TPA) to develop new approaches to increase the reach and effectiveness of evidence-based public health strategies in populations and communities with a high burden of diabetes or heart disease and stroke. |
|
|
|
-
Towncrest Pharmacy, Iowa (Randy McDonough, PharmD, MS; William Doucette, PhD; Amber Goedken, PharmD, PhD)
|
The grant for 'Tracking Performance in a Contemporary Community Pharmacy Practice' continues to expand as part of an initiative for 'Community Management of Medication Complexity National Multi-Site Demonstration', which launched on June 21, 2018. The project is led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) and was made possible with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. McDonough recently co-presented a webinar titled 'Building the Business Case and Value-Based Payment Models for Enhanced Medication Management'. The webinar recording and slides are available here.
Side note: One of the researchers on this project, William Doucette, PhD, is also the recipient of the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Research & Science (APhA–APRS) Clinical Research Paper Award that will be presented on Sunday, March 24, 2019 during the APhA second general session. |
