Event Description

Physician and Pharmacist Collaboration to Reduce Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes

Please note: In-person attendance at this event is preferred. Virtual access will be provided to registrants who are unable to be on campus.

This talk will discuss the results of a pragmatic evaluation of a primary care provider-pharmacist collaborative care intervention (UCMyRx) among Hispanic patients with Type 2 diabetes, obtaining primary care within the University of California Los Angeles clinic network. UCMyRx pharmacists use electronic health records data and standardized adherence surveys to develop tailored adherence-improvement interventions and augment guideline-concordant care among participating patients.
