The 2023 PQA Annual Meeting poster session featured 24 quality improvement and research projects. Sponsored by Pharmacy Quality Solutions, the session provided an opportunity for authors to showcase their work and for attendees to engage in insightful dialogue about health care quality.
Awards for the best student poster and the top three posters were selected by a volunteer panel of 15 meeting attendees, who represent PQA’s diverse member sectors.
