Multi-stakeholder Catalyst For Change Launches Today

The Get the Medications Right™ (GTMRx) Institute, launched today, is dedicated to identifying methods that ensure the effective and appropriate use of medications. To further advance the promotion and implementation of comprehensive medication management (CMM), ACCP joins a group of founding board members that includes distinguished primary care physicians and healthcare leaders; J&J Health Care Services; Medecision, a subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation; and Quest Diagnostics.

“This interdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder group of leaders in healthcare provides ACCP with expanded opportunities to advance CMM as an effective means of achieving medication optimization. Bringing together clinicians, payers, experts in technology/precision medicine, and innovators in health care who are focused collectively on ‘getting the medications right’ is a logical and promising approach to addressing the problems and costs associated with the irrational and often suboptimal use of medications,” said C. Edwin Webb, Pharm.D., MPH, FCCP, ACCP’s representative on the GTMRx Board of Directors.
