Focusing the academy's strengths to reorganize healthcare.
With the current focus on healthcare reform in the United States Congress, it is important to celebrate the impact that colleges and schools of pharmacy are making on public policy. Many of the provisions included in both the House and Senate proposals reflect a desire for a reorganized healthcare system based on the teaching, research, and service of pharmacy faculty members. AACP has contributed dozens of examples of how community-campus partnerships are creating greater value across the healthcare continuum, improving the quality of care patients receive, and increasing or at least maintaining access to critical community-based services, including service delivery utilizing telemedicine technology.
