Pharmacy Quality Alliance | Strategic Alliance Partners

PQA, the Pharmacy Quality Alliance, is a national quality organization dedicated to improving medication safety, adherence and appropriate use. A measure developer, researcher, educator and convener, PQA’s quality initiatives support better medication use and high-quality care.An independent, non-profit organization with nearly 240 diverse members across healthcare, PQA was initially established in 2006 as a public-private partnership with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shortly after the implementation of the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit. PQA was created because prescription drug programs were a major area of health care where there was no organization or national program focused on quality improvement. PQA members include pharmacies, health plans, health care providers, pharmacy benefit managers, biopharmaceutical companies, technology vendors, government agencies, associations, health information technology organizations, researchers, accrediting organizations and academia.
