February Pharmacy QI Learning Collaborative meeting

Improving Population Health/Reducing Low-Value Care in Primary Care through Professional Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Pro CGM) 

Practices enrolled in the initiative reported out on their Plan-Do-Study-Act QI progress on sustainability . Pharmacists shared how they are engaging other team members and what criteria is used to “graduate” patients from the Pro CGM program. In addition, pharmacists shared patient success stories on how Pro CGM is making a difference in patient care. Stephen Kogut, PhD, MBA, RPh from University of RI, presented aggregate data on the program. Results continue to show an overall drop in patients’ A1c. The program is winding down with two more learning collaborative meetings scheduled for May and July. Practices will continue to collect data to help inform the project, and work on sustaining and spreading these efforts within their system of care. Special thanks to UnitedHealthcare and RIDOH who are providing the funding for this important quality improvement initiative.
