Extra Support Available for PSPC Participants

The nationwide Patient Safety and Clinical Pharmacy Services Collaborative (PSPC) helps integrate evidence-based clinical pharmacy services into the care and management of high-risk, high-cost, complex patients.

Now in its fourth cycle, the highly successful PSPC has opened to a broader group of participants—enrollment is no longer limited just to HRSA-funded organizations.

To be eligible for our free technical assistance, teams must identify a cohort of at least 50 Medicare beneficiaries, for whom you provide ongoing care, who meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Take the anticoagulant warfarin on a regular basis
• Take short-acting or long-acting antipsychotics
• Take hypoglycemic medications for diabetes mellitus

Teams are welcome to focus on a single population, or on multiple populations, based on the priorities of your organization.

Our assistance is available free of charge, and is in addition to the substantial resources offered through the national PSPC structure.
