Healthcare Reform: Provisions and Implications for Hospital Pharmacy Practice

Every hospital and health system pharmacist needs to know the provisions in the health care reform bill directly impacting health-system pharmacists. Many of these provisions have been made possible through the advocacy work of ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists) and clinicians throughout the U.S. In addition, you will learn about the advocacy efforts on behalf of pharmacists impacting health reform legislation.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of one of the nation's most knowledgeable leaders in advocacy, provisions and implications of healthcare reform on hospital pharmacists and their practice.

This presentation is about an hour long.
