This special Diabetes Alert Day episode of the Quality Corner Show focuses on how pharmacy teams can move beyond dispensing to become proactive leaders in chronic disease management.

Host Ashley Ramer, MSN,RN, is joined by Terilyn St. Pierre, BSN, RN, to discuss the critical role of Hemoglobin A1C testing in the pharmacy setting. With 1 in 10 U.S. adults living with diabetes, and many unaware of their status, the pharmacy serves as a frequent and accessible touchpoint for closing essential care gaps.

In this episode, we cover the power of immediacy, clinical essentials, EQUIPP resources and a step by step demonstration.
