PBGH is proud to release the Legacy Impact Report for the Patient Assessment Survey (PAS) program. Over the past two decades, PAS has been instrumental in enhancing health care quality and patient experience across California and nationally. The history highlights both the leadership of California and the collaboration of many committed partners. As we close this chapter with the discontinuation of the PAS program (effective July 31, 2024), we reflect on PAS's significant contributions and look forward to continuing our efforts to innovate and improve health care quality. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ezGw2k8A #HealthCareQuality #PatientExperience

Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH) reposted this
The PBM model is broken...but how do we fix it? The Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH) hosted another informative member webinar today where we reviewed current federal proposals for PBM reform, the potential impact (and unintended consequences) on plan sponsors and the drug marketplace, as well as modifications that could improve the effectiveness of these efforts. Thank you to Anna Kaltenboeck for sharing insights from her research on this topic with West Health. While Congressional action is important, our discussion also reinforced the critical role of employers and public purchasers in holding their pharmacy partners accountable with consistent standards for procurement, contract negotiations, data access, and auditing rights. PBGH looks forward to continuing its long history of advocating for transparency, competition, and value in the pharmacy industry and representing its members' voices on important policy issues.

Last week, PBGH published an action brief spotlighting how private employers and public purchasers are using #REaL and #SOGI data to reduce health disparities. Purchasers have a vital role to play in advancing #HealthEquity by holding partners accountable with a defined measurement and accountability strategy with this data. By doing so, purchasers can identify disparities in health care access, experience and outcomes — and take informed action to address these gaps, improving the health of their populations. Read the full action brief here: https://bit.ly/4dRDIcX Thank you to Genentech for providing an educational grant to support this action brief.
