The 340B
Integrity and Quality (340B IQ) Leading Practice
Achievement Peer-to-Peer Program (P2P)
The 340B IQ Program is a new
APhA and PSSC-sponsored initiative that will use objective criteria to recognize entities in a variety
of settings that have proven leading practices.
APhA and PSSC seek ten organizations of all sizes
and types to receive this prestigious status as a 340B
IQ recognized site for the first year of this program.
The Aim of the 340B IQ Program
is:
- To nationally recognize
leading practices in 340B participating entities in
the areas of 340B integrity and quality.
- To share the expertise of
these recognized sites with the 340B stakeholder
community via the formation of a peer-to-peer
information sharing network.
- To financially reward these
leading practice sites with stipends for residency
and/or pharmacy student programs.
Sites that receive the status
of a 340B IQ recognized site would be asked to share
their expertise and leading practices with other
safety-net organization to help others to achieve
breakthrough results and establish sound business
practices.
