Get The Medications Right (GTMR) & Patient Advocacy Leaders Summit
(PALS) Network Webinar
Terry McInnis, MD, MPH, CPE, FACOEM (Blue Thorn, Inc.) shared highlights of the Get The Medications Right report on a webinar for the Patient Advocacy Leaders Summit Network on December 15, 2016.
The role of the patient or health advocate is increasingly invaluable as health care continues to be transformed. The ePALS Webinar provided an overview of a report on key best practices of Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) in U.S. communities, what works, and how various groups with patient advocates are collaborating to improve local and regional systems to improve access to appropriate care and treatments. This ePALS webinar was part of the PALS (Patient Advocacy Leaders Summit) program, which involves patient advocates from around the country who are committed to improving health and healthcare in our communities.

Innovative Patient Care Services are the Focus of 2017 APhA Foundation Incentive Grants – The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Foundation announced 20 recipients of its 2017 Incentive Grants for Practitioner Innovation in Pharmaceutical Care. The Incentive Grants program provides pharmacists with seed money to implement or support innovative patient care services within their pharmacy practice. This year, the APhA Foundation sought to use grants to make an impact in many areas, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes care, pharmacogenomics, medication adherence, specialty medications, and transitions of care.
The Incentive Grants for Practitioner Innovation in Pharmaceutical Care is the longest running program by the APhA Foundation and has supported more than 500 projects that have improved health outcomes for thousands of patients nationwide.
