#DYK? Pharmacists can help address known barriers to care and, as scope of practice expands, so does the recognition of the pharmacist as the central support of a patient’s health care team optimizing patient health and wellbeing. Building a relationship and getting to know your local pharmacist can make a big difference in your health. Happy American Pharmacists Month! #APhM2024

Philadelphia-area coalition announces the end of race adjustments in four clinical decision support tools used in lung, kidney, and ob/gyn care. “It’s uplifting to see all the work being done in our region, and across the nation, to remove race as a consideration to inform medical treatment. Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic was an early adopter of this initiative to improve patient outcomes among non-white individuals through removal of race-based algorithms in clinical practice and treatment protocols, and to that end, we’re just as committed to its advancement and expansion. As we continue the Regional Coalition’s work, we have engaged a core group of Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic physicians to uncover any remaining clinical protocols in need of amendment or outright elimination,” said Cheryl Jackson, MD, Medical Director of Primary Care for Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic. https://lnkd.in/e9kN9B-j
