This learning session provides an overview of key legislative opportunities to leverage the pharmacy workforce and advance medication optimization, e.g. Cures 2.0 and Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services (ECAPS), as well as state legislative efforts to advance recognition, coverage, and payment for clinical pharmacy services (Colorado SB94 and HB 1275). Through active discussion with expert panelists, attendees will evaluate the potential impact of comprehensive medication management (CMM) on chronic care management and acquire advocacy resources for advancing clinical pharmacist integration into value-based care team models consistent with the Affordable Care Act and its authorization of the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI). Speakers will provide a summary of these resources, and panelists will discuss how these can be applied to advocate for payment and policy reform and engage key stakeholders.
