Please visit our website to listen to prior podcast 1, 2 & 3 at https://lnkd.in/gsrjnv9P The Specialty Pharmacy Healthcare eco-systems is becoming more efficient in the way they intake and treat patients, and patients are becoming more well-informed. Efficient and accurate communication among doctors, nurses, support staff, and patients has never been more important. With streams of information constantly flowing, there are ample opportunities for the chain of communication to break down and become a barrier to care—meaning delays in care for patients, and bottlenecks to clinician productivity. Specialty Pharmacies are more collaborative with their patient-engagement teams capabilities that strengthen this point of care. These healthcare solutions enable team members to drive key decisions with confidence, no matter where they are. With the freedom to focus less on ordering a specialty prescription, tracking down supplies, or logging data, patient care teams can focus more on what matters most: the patients. Therefore, specialty pharmacies differ, not by location, but by services offered and conditions treated. When treating chronic and rare conditions, those differences add up to make a big impact on patient success. The specialty pharmacies are improving drug treatment outcomes and breaking down the barriers that make patient access difficult. Patients facing complex, chronic, rare, or life-threatening conditions rely on the added support and resources a specialty pharmacy provides Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve Maki RPh at Spruce Mountain Pharmacy Spruce Mountain Pharmacy is located in the beautiful rural country side in the town of, Jay, Maine. Coming in at about 2000 square feet it would appear, to the casual observer to be pretty typical of an independent community pharmacy. But, what owner Steve Maki, PharmD is doing with his team is far from typical. In this episode of PharmacyCrossRoads Maki share his philosophy and some practical ideas on how to turn is staff into a well-oiled healthcare and customer service team. Two years ago, Maki moved his pharmacy into a new, more spacious and more effectively laid out facility and brought in some new technology. Supporting the move and adopting the new technology was a BIG ask for his staff. But by listening, taking advice and delegating tasks things worked out well. As a special bonus Maki has offered up to PharmacyCrossRoads listeners a copy of his 3-page task list. The list shows the key performance indicators (KPI’s) for each of the nine major job categories assigned to team members. While the specific KPI metrics the list includes may not be right for your pharmacy, it is felt that at least seeing how the list is laid out and seeing specific numbers allotted to each task may be helpful. For a free copy of the list email me at: [email protected] Thank you to Compliant Pharmacy Alliance & RxSafe for supporting this podcast episode and the Pharmacy Podcast Network. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Larry Shapiro is a clinical psychologist that started back in 1990 but quote on quote retired to become a financial advisor. He was having a discussion with his brother one day, who was a career officer in the Army, returning from Afghanistan. That make Dr. Shapiro to re-think about his contributions to his community, so he got his license back, trained in military trauma, and started again as a psychologist in 2014. He started at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute specializing in treatment of OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, simple phobias, depression, and combat trauma. Last year he attended the annual Boston Trauma Conference and heard for the first time about the use of psychedelic medicines for treatment of trauma. So after a 150 hour certification program at Integrative Psychiatry Institute he became certified in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy which now is part of his current practice. Just this year in January he went into private practice so he can focus more on psychedelics. He is also an adjunct instructor in the department of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis and a clinical consultant for psilocybin research at Healthy Minds Lab at Washington University. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which is one of the most common psychiatric disorders which affects about 8 million adults at some point in their lifetime in the United States. But it is not clear as to why only some people who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Some people say it’s a social construct but in the largest and most diverse genetic study of PTSD to date, scientists from University of California San Diego School of Medicine and more than 130 additional institutions participating in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium found that PTSD has a strong genetic component similar to other psychiatric disorders. Genetics seem to accounts for between 5 and 20 percent of the variability in PTSD risk following a traumatic event.

Today we are hoping to make sense of the Inflation Reduction Act which is designed to protect Medicare recipients from catastrophic drug costs by phasing in a cap for out-of-pocket costs and establishing a$35 cap for a month's supply of insulin. And, as an historic win, Medicare will be able to negotiate prices for high-cost drugs for the first time ever.

Dr. Nardine Nakhla's career has had one common denominator since her graduation in 2007 from Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences — striving to help as many people as possible.

Earl Simmons (DMX) gonna give it to ya, a new definition of pain that is!   Back in 2009, a prominent study showed that U.S. Schools of Medicine were barely covering the topic of pain management in respective curricula (weighing in at a mere 9 hours on average), which paled in comparison to numerous other medical conditions. Obviously, the rest of healthcare professional schools, that’s us in pharmacy too, had a reconning to take action and amp up the education on pain management, and of course substance use disorder (SUD), commonly referred to as addiction.   It's been a wild ride, and in this episode of the Pain Pod, Mark “Pain Guy” Garofoli sits down for a chat with Dr. Lucas Hill, PharmD on the intersection of Academia (the Ivory Tower) and SUD.   Come one, come all, to the Pain Pod!!!   Episode References   ·     June 10th, 2022 Time Magazine article “Fewer Than Half of U.S. Pharmacies Carry One of the Most Effective Drugs for Opioid Abuse”: https://time.com/6186319/buprenorphine-overdoses-pharmacy-drug-treatment/ ·     AACP Opioid Efforts Database Submission: https://www.aacp.org/opioid ·     APhA Institute on SUD: https://aphainstitute.pharmacist.com/ ·     Chronicle of Higher Education Article: https://www.chronicle.com/article/one-university-takes-on-the-opioid-crisis/ 2011 Article on U.S. Schools of Medicine 9 hours of Pain Education: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21945594/ Learn more about your ad choices.

A new report penned by Pamela Spence, EY’s Global Health Sciences and Wellness Industry, explores how heath care in the future will be transformed by a living, intelligent ecosystem that enables care delivery anytime and anywhere, and how pharmacists can utilize AI technologies to make health care even more human.   According to EY, there is no single new technology that holds the key to the future of health care. Rather, as technologies such as sensors, cloud computing, AR/VR and 5G continue to evolve and converge with more advanced technologies, like quantum computing and the metaverse, they are enabling the creation of a growing internet of medical things (IoMT), which will extend itself everywhere – beginning with sensors in and on our bodies, to our homes and working environments, and beyond, to smart specialist care facilities. The result: unprecedented growth (36% CAGR over the next three years) in quantity and quality of health data available. Data – particularly the disparate, often unstructured data generated from our daily lives, which is often relevant to health outcomes – requires new analytical tools to turn it from raw information into actionable insights.   EY identified two key areas for pharmacists to focus in order to create value in this intelligent health ecosystem of the future:   ·       Personalized insights through artificial intelligence – AI offers a means to connect, combine and interrogate unstructured data differently and unlock actionable insights. With the power of AI, pharmas can begin to link the huge volumes of data generated and the vast array of technological tools being developed into a comprehensive, integrated smart health system. This data-driven smart system enables the breakdown of silos between care settings and optimizes decision-making across the patient journey.   ·       User experience defines the value – The explosion in data and technological innovation offers pharmas a way to reinvent care as a patient-centered, personalized health experience. To succeed in this reinvented world companies will need to consider not only traditional clinical metrics, but also the non-clinical measures which capture the subjective reality of the patient’s own experience. Use of these measures to generate actionable insights via AI will be the pivot for the move from data to value and thus, for BioPharma companies to gain fair reimbursement for innovation and new products.

Pharmacy accessibility is key for the emerging role of community pharmacists as providers of patient-centered, medication management services in addition to traditional dispensing roles. Community pharmacies may serve as accessible locations for patient-centered, medication management services that enhance the health and wellness of communities. Although chain pharmacies represent the majority of pharmacy locations across the country, access to community pharmacies in rural areas predominantly relies on regional franchises and independently owned pharmacies.  Guest:  Lucas A.
