Medicare Part D Drug Therapy Quality Improvement Assistance
The South Dakota Foundation for Medical Care (SDFMC), the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for the state, recently launched their next three-year contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), called the 9th Scope of Work. As part of the contract’s Patient Safety focus, SDFMC will be working to decrease drug-drug interactions and potentially inappropriate medications filled by Medicare beneficiaries with Part D benefits.
SDFMC is available to provide assistance finding tools and resources. If your organization is interested in reducing drug-drug interactions and potentially inappropriate medications for the Medicare population, please send an email to SDFMC’s Director of Quality Improvement, Ryan Sailor, at rsailor@sdqio.sdps.org.
