Patient Adherence and Health Literacy

AMGA partnered with Pfizer, Inc. for the 2005 Models of Excellence Collaborative, a one-year collaborative designed to provide a shared learning environment in which participants had access to industry experts and peers through regularly scheduled conference calls, educational meetings, and site visits.

The ultimate goal of the collaborative was to produce and share tested tools and strategies with other physician groups nationwide to advance the quality of care. The collaborative created a working environment for four grantees (each grantee received $25,000 toward the development of its proposed program), along with additional invited organizations, to further help shape, test and provide feedback collectively about each of the proposed programs
