Call for response: Research survey exploring physician and pharmacist collaboration

In November 2014, a short survey was developed to explore new ways to improve the quality, accessibility and affordability of patient care through the collaboration between pharmacists and physicians. The survey is part of a research project created by Mindy Prasad, Pharm.D., who is a PGY-1 managed care pharmacy resident. It was mailed to 4,000 randomly selected physicians within the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan provider network.

This survey seeks physician opinions about pharmacists providing advanced patient care management. This information will help Blue Cross develop programs that can support the organization and improve collaboration between pharmacists and physicians.

  • If you received the survey and haven’t responded yet, please do so by sending it to the fax number found on the survey.
  • If you didn’t receive a survey, please email mprasad@bcbsm.com.

Responses will be collected through Feb. 28, 2015. Results will be presented at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy Annual Meeting & Expo in April 2015.
