Value-based Pharmacy

The goal of GSC’s Value-based Pharmacy initiative is to drive up the quality of care across Canada. By measuring pharmacy performance, providing feedback to facilitate improvement, and aligning reimbursement to the delivery of high-quality care, we help pharmacies gain insight into areas of patient care where they’re already doing well and areas where they can improve. For more information on quality-of-care measurement, our partners, and how the Pharmacy Quality Rating may impact pharmacy reimbursement, just select the links below.
