"A lot of times when people speak of medication management, they’re only referring to managing new scripts and renewals. They do not look at the broader scope of issues. At the Center, medication management is about fostering collaboration among physicians, pharmacists, health plans, and consumers to ensure that the patient gets the right drug, at the right time, at the right price." – Steven Waldren, MD, MS, Director, Center for Health Information Technology, American Academy of Family Physicians;
Board Member, The Center for Improving Medication Management
