Patient Safety and Clinical Pharmacy Services Collaborative (PSPC) Overview
Committed to saving and enhancing thousands of lives a year by achieving optimal health outcomes and eliminating adverse drug events through increased clinical pharmacy services for the patients we serve.
- The Patient Safety and Clinical Pharmacy Services Collaborative (PSPC) is a breakthrough effort to improve the quality of health care across America by integrating evidence-based clinical pharmacy services into the care and management of high-risk, high-cost, complex patients.
- The PSPC works through teams representing community-based health care providers, including health centers, Ryan White HIV/AIDS providers, poison control centers and rural health clinics.
- Through an intensive series of Learning Sessions and Action Periods, PSPC teams learn, implement and refine the leading practices that have been found to significantly improve health outcomes and patient safety through the integration of clinical pharmacy services.
- In its first 2 years, PSPC teams have focused on small panels of high-risk, high-cost, complex patients whose needs are beyond the reach of the current, traditional delivery system.
- This fall, PSPC 3.0 will work to expand and spread to larger patient populations.
