Today, the CME Coalition submitted comments to HHS on the proposed rule to require Long Term Care (LTC) Consultant Pharmacists, who review patients medication schedules, to be independent from the LTC Pharmacies that serve those facilities. As HHS looks to determine a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of patient care in long term care facilities, the Coalition urges the Department to recognize the potential to improve patient outcomes through an enhanced commitment to CME.
Comments available here and below.
