The IEHP Pharmacy Pay-For-Performance (P4P) Program is set up to improve Pharmacy Services through the IEHP community pharmacy providers. This is considered to be one of the first large-scale Pharmacy P4P programs in United States. To ensure our goals are aligned with all stakeholders in this program, IEHP is partnering with the Pharmacy Quality Solutions (PQS) to administer this program. PQS’ quality measurement metrics are endorsed by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (for Part D Star Rating Measures) and they are considered to be the leading group to enhance Pharmacy Quality Improvement in the industry. Together, our goal is to help validate the roles of community pharmacies in promoting Healthcare Quality and define a pharmacy payment model for outcome-based MTM services.
