The National Priorities Partnership is a national initiative that will target improvements to eliminate harm, waste, and disparities in health care. This initiative is the right people coming together at the right time, committed to real action that will transform the nation's healthcare system. As front-line health care professionals, pharmacists have been shown to improve the quality of care while reducing costs. In order to make healthcare reform a reality, it is essential that the value of pharmacists be used to contribute to the NPP. Please visit NPP website for more information on the partnership.
