Office
of Pharmacy Affairs
A
component of the Health Resources and Services Administration
Healthcare Systems Bureau, the Office of Pharmacy
Affairs has three primary functions:
- Administration
of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, through which
certain federally funded grantees and other safety
net health care providers may purchase prescription
medication at significantly reduced prices.
- Development
of innovative pharmacy services models and technical
assistance.
- Service
as a federal resource about pharmacy.
In
all of its activities, OPA emphasizes the importance
of comprehensive pharmacy services being an integral
part of primary health care. Comprehensive
pharmacy services include patient access to affordable
pharmaceuticals, application of "best practices" and
efficient pharmacy management and the application
of systems that improve patient outcomes through
safe and effective medication use.
