The Alliance for LTC Pharmacy at Home, of which NCPA is a founding member, released a set of comprehensive guidelines to support pharmacies providing LTC-pharmacy-at-home services and to establish standards for evaluating those services.
“The alliance is committed to ensuring that patients receiving long-term care pharmacy services at home have the same level of support as those in institutional settings,” said Rebecca Snead, NCPA’s senior director of strategic initiatives and long-term care. “By establishing clear requirements based on CMS’s existing framework, we aim to create consistency in the delivery of these services and improve access for medically complex patients who wish to remain in their homes.”
