Anne Burns, our Senior Vice President of Professional Affairs, reports that the National Quality Forum (NQF) has officially accepted a PQA/APhA case study as one of five case studies to be profiled in a national evaluation of the NQF National Priorities Partnership. PQA is a pharmacy quality alliance headquartered in Fairfax Station, VA.

Our case study highlights the work of the PQA Population Health Workgroup (on which APhA representatives Kelly Goode and Brian Hille served as Co-Chairs) and APhA’s immunization program. The submission was selected from 20 nominations overall, and it’s notable that a pharmacy submission is in the mix of accepted case studies for this important quality-related organization. In early May, representatives from NQF spent several days at APhA headquarters to interview PQA and APhA representatives for the case study. We will let you know when the case study is published.
