Pharmacists will contribute to this vision by providing pharmaceutical care through efficient drug distribution and outcomes-oriented management of patients' drug therapies. The American Pharmaceutical Association is dedicated to improving public health by assisting its members and enhancing the profession of pharmacy. Quality and integrity are paramount. Members are our focus. We are leaders, not followers.
Continuous improvement is essential to our success.
Teamwork and partnerships are our way of life. Expand access to and promote the value of pharmacists' care-giving services in obtaining positive health outcomes through optimal use of medications. Equip pharmacists and others allied to the profession with information and education resources to support provision of patient care. Statement adapted from the 1993-1995 Healthcare Vision Quest Conferences I and II, which included representatives from APhA and other associations with interests in healthcare.
