How Are Health Systems Taking a Patient-Centered Approach?

At the Pharmacy Quality Alliance annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, Eleanor Perfetto, PhD, MS, Senior Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at the National Health Council, spoke with Pharmacy Times about how health systems are taking a more patient-centered approach.
