There is a $500+ billion problem in America called non-optimized medication use. It's when medications that should be used to help people get better are not used properly, not adhered to, or result in side effects that lead to an ER visit or hospitalization. The Temple University School of Pharmacy is joining several other institutions in working on developing frameworks and plans for optimizing medication and vaccine use in the US. It’s called the RAPID Alliance Medications 360 Study. Dr. Van Hellerslia is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Temple University School of Pharmacy and is passionate about the work and Temple's role in the project.
