Open to Penn Affiliates

12:00p.m. – 1:00p.m. ET October 26, 2023 In-Person Event

Colonial Penn Center Auditorium, 3641 Locust Walk

This talk will discuss the results of a pragmatic evaluation of a primary care provider-pharmacist collaborative care intervention (UCMyRx) among Hispanic patients with Type 2 diabetes, obtaining primary care within the University of California Los Angeles clinic network. UCMyRx pharmacists use electronic health records data and standardized adherence surveys to develop tailored adherence-improvement interventions and augment guideline-concordant care among participating patients.
