 The 2021 PQA Leadership Summit will take place November 10 – 11, 2021 at the Ritz Carlton Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia. Program information will be posted in the coming months. The 2020 PQA Leadership Summit was an online event focused on the social determinants of health. It engaged summit attendees to help PQA determine the scope and focus of a SDOH resource guide that PQA will develop in 2021. The goal is for the guide to aggregate SDOH interventions that hold promise for improving the quality of medication use and where pharmacists are best positioned to provide screening, evaluation and services to address SDOH factors. Additional emphasis will be placed on SDOH interventions that can address racial and ethnic disparities in health. PQA selected this topic and approach because of the growing importance of SDOH and because there is not an existing resource focused on SDOH interventions as they relate to medication use quality and pharmacy services.
