Abstract
Annual wellness visits (AWVs) guide appropriate patient care through lifestyle modifications, medication intervention, or social assistance. We launched a quality improvement program to target Medicare beneficiaries as part of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Key stakeholders collectively implemented a process consisting of two cohorts: AWVs completed with the support of the pharmacy team or directly by providers. A standardized workflow for the pharmacy cohort involved the clinical pharmacists and pharmacy extenders, allowing a layered learning experience. The AWV completion rate was optimized with the interventions of the pharmacy team.
