The National Quality Forum seeks public comment on a draft of its upcoming report on the use of artificial intelligence methods in health care quality measurement. The report includes guidance and recommendations for developing, selecting, and implementing AI-enabled quality measures in accountability programs, including value-based payment, public reporting, performance-based provider network designs, and accreditation.

Advancing Specialty Pharmacy Quality    
A Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pharmacy study convened stakeholders to prioritize meaningful and usable measures for managing rheumatoid arthritis patients on specialty therapies, while another broad effort across health-system specialty pharmacies focused on defining the key attributes that distinguish specialty medications.

Addressing Medication Nonadherence  
Pharmacists are well-positioned as providers best capable of correcting nonadherent patients. Often, patients aren't fully aware of what the medications can do, what the potential side effects are," said PerformRx's Andrew Maiorini. "They're not certain of what the benefits to taking the medication could be. Then, there's also cost issues as well as access to care." All of these things contribute to nonadherence.

Collaborate with Health Care and Quality Leaders at the 2025 PQA Leadership Summit  

Join us at the 2025 PQA Leadership Summit for two days of collaboration, discussion and strategic thinking with health care and quality leaders. 

Goal 1: Deliver innovative solutions to advance quality medication use for a person-centered and value-based health care system.

Goal 2: Advance the quality of medication management services to improve patient outcomes through pharmacist-provided and team-based care.

Goal 3: Achieve organizational excellence through structure, processes and technology that deliver exceptional value to members, stakeholders and staff.

During dynamic breakout sessions, you'll collaborate with peers to address key questions: 

• Specifically, what should PQA do to implement the goals and their objectives?
• Who would be effective partners and what resources will be needed to implement the goals and achieve their objectives?
• What milestones or incremental steps can be used to evaluate progress toward accomplishing the goals?

Please reach out to your organization's Key Contact, who has received the registration information for both the summit and pre-meeting convening event. Please direct any questions to [email protected].
