Richard Schmitz, chief engagement officer at the Pharmacy Quality Alliance, tells this week’s Video Forum about the thinking behind the new “PQA Social Determinants of Health Resource Guide.” The publication examines the role that pharmacies can play in addressing seven barriers that patients often face — everything from the cost of medications to food insecurity and transportation. Schmitz stresses the need for long-term engagement with those issues, and PQA’s commitment to charting the evolution of the industry’s response.
