5 Trends Redefining the Health Sciences and Wellness Operating Model | Pamela Spence EY

As consumer demand accelerates the adoption of new technologies, we explore how companies can provide a more convenient health experience.
In the last 12 months, we have seen a notable step change in how care is delivered — a rapid acceptance and adoption by physicians and patients alike of technologies to support virtual care. Having had a taste of virtual care, customers in the future will expect and demand additional services that provide a more personalized and convenient health experience.
Digital platforms such as Netflix and Amazon now dominate the entertainment market for a reason: they have improved the home-media experience, making it more efficient, convenient and personal. Not only is a vast array of content easy to access, but it is highly relevant too, based on viewers’ preferences and behaviors. In addition, these platforms proactively identify new material of interest and alert customers before individuals are aware of the offering.
Beyond entertainment, this type of customization is now possible in everyday consumer activities such as banking, retail and travel. In these other industries, the ability to proactively use data is key to creating the enhanced experience. Linking together technologies as diverse as genomics, miniaturized sensors (whether inside or on our bodies), 5G, blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) can allow medical and real-world data (both clinical and non-clinical) to be gathered, shared and used to make more informed health decisions. This will give companies the information and opportunity to make care more connected, customized and convenient.

Pharmacist & Physician Opioid Collaborative | Part Two: Working Closer Together as Providers

This Podcast Series is about Pharmacists & Physicians collaborating on the proper & humane usage of pain managment strategies, the usage of opioids, and evidence-based medication therapy management practices. 
Each day, more than 130 people die from opioid overdoses. Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers like oxycodone. They also include illegal drugs like heroin. In 2019, 1.6 million Americans had an opioid addiction. This is also known as opioid use disorder. Yet effective medications—like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone—are prescribed to only a fraction of people with opioid use disorder.
Patients often receive such medications in an opioid treatment program. Methadone, for example, can only be given in a certified treatment program. Primary care physicians can apply for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine. However, less than 10% of U.S. primary care providers have a buprenorphine waiver. Given the limited number of patients that each physician can treat, involving pharmacists in opioid treatment may improve access.
Part two features Dr. Garofoli, pain management expert resource & Director of Experiential Learning Clinical Assistant Professor Clinical Pain Management Pharmacists position in the WVU Integrative Pain Management Center. We welcome Pharmacist Dave Morgan, with over 30 years of experience treating patients with pain and a returning executive from PROP - Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, Dr. Kolodyny. 
Today's Guests: 
Mark Garofoli PharmD
Clinical Assistant Professor WVU School of Pharmacy

First U.S. Pharmacy to Use AI to Improve Drug Matching and Usability

Galva Pharmacy is First U.S. Pharmacy to Use AI to Improve Drug Matching and Usability of Rx Instructions in E-Prescriptions DrFirst's SmartSuite AI, with its patented SmartDrug and SmartSig, works within the Speed Script Pharmacy Management System to save pharmacists time, increase prescription accuracy, and improve patient safety. Even with widespread electronic prescribing, pharmacists are still plagued by the need to manually correct free text found in prescribing instructions, known as sigs, for 84% of new prescriptions, which can lead to errors, take time away from patients, and decrease pharmacy productivity. Galva Pharmacy owner Scott Caravello, RPh, says the decision to add SmartSuite to his store's PMS workflow was an easy one, given its commitment to patient safety and excellent customer service. "SmartSig and SmartDrug work seamlessly within our Speed Script system to make electronic prescriptions more usable with far fewer keystrokes. Because SmartSig automatically infers missing details in the prescription instructions, it cuts down the need to manually enter and type in data. But it does this only when it's safe and clear, so patient safety is always preserved. In the end, SmartSuite helps our pharmacists reduce the chance for errors and gives them more time for patient counseling." Now available to pharmacies, SmartSig has been used by hospitals and health systems since 2015 to enhance the quality of more than 6 million prescriptions per day. The technology accurately translates 93% of patient directions, helping avoid medication errors and saving 10 seconds or more of work for each drug entered. DrFirst's SmartDrug uses a superior AI algorithm to pair specific drugs in electronic prescriptions to the equivalent medications used by a pharmacy's PMS as well as the drugs on its shelves—which is particularly meaningful since prescribers and pharmacy systems rarely use the same national drug code (NDC). "Galva Pharmacy's leadership embracing AI technology will help improve patient safety and pharmacy productivity among independent pharmacies," said G. Cameron Deemer, president of DrFirst.
