What an exciting year it has been for PQA! As we continue progress towards completion of our strategic plan, Blueprint PQA 2025, our team has been hard at work alongside our valued members to deliver meaningful improvements and drive positive change in quality medication use.
Today, we published the 2024 PQA Annual Report, which documents our progress towards our strategic goals. It is a collection of accomplishments from September 2023 to August 2024 and captures the efforts of our members and staff over the past year.
The work across the four goals in Blueprint PQA 2025 would not have been possible without each of our valued members. Thank you for your continued support of PQA! We are excited to continue working with you in the year ahead.
Some highlights detailed in this report include:
- Progressing Medication Therapy Management quality measurement through our extensive stakeholder engagement and subsequent report.
- Advancing oral anticancer medication use quality by building towards the next phases of our work.
- Successfully piloting pharmacy measure concepts focused on blood pressure and A1c improvement and control.
- Successfully piloting PQA’s endorsed measure focused on specialty pharmacy turnaround time.
- Continuing the PQA quality shadowing program, with the second class of participants beginning in January 2024.
- Receiving national recognition from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) for the PQA Diverse Quality Leaders program.
