WASHINGTON, DC USA -- PHARMA UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- JANUARY 27, 2020: "Get the Medications Right: Innovations in Team-Based Care," will be held Thursday, February 6, 2020 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. ET at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, DC or Live-Stream.

GET THE MEDICATIONS RIGHT: INNOVATIONS IN TEAM-BASED CARE

FACT: Medications are involved in 80% of all treatments -- impacting every aspect of a person's life with nearly 30% of adults in the US taking 5 or more prescriptions. 1

FACT: There are also more than 10,000 medications available on the market. 2

Non-optimized medication use -- prescription drugs that make people sicker, are wrong or are not taken as intended -- is being called out as the single most urgent, pressing opportunity to save lives and money.

The GTMRx Institute and Bipartisan Policy Center are co-hosting an event that will shine a spotlight on the real and immediate opportunity and showcase proven strategies at work today across health care settings.

Seating is almost at capacity, so register today!

Or, you can also register for the live-stream of the event if you can't make it in person.
