AMCP strongly supports the passage of the MVP Act. Medicaid beneficiaries are among America's most vulnerable patients. Value-based payment arrangements are a critical tool for promoting patient access to high-quality, affordable care.
Pharmacists' Patient Care Process
The goal of high quality, cost-effective and accessible health care for patients is achieved through teambased patient-centered care. Pharmacists are essential members of the health care team. The profession of pharmacy is continuing its evolution from a principal focus on medication product distribution to expanded clinically-oriented patient care services. As a result of this professional evolution, the importance of, and need for, a consistent process of care in the delivery of patient care services has been increasingly recognized by the profession at large.
