Better Utilization of the Pharmacist’s Expertise | PGX for Pharmacists

How can we leverage pharmacists to help patients transition better and also allow the providers use the expertise of pharmacists?
According to the peer review journal JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association), to improve care when patients transition from a facility such as a hospital to their home, Medicare started reimbursing for what is called the Transition of Care in 2013. It still has a low adoption because the reimbursement is not as high and also takes resources such as staffing.

COVID-19: Does Medicinal Cannabis Help or Hurt? | CRx Podcast

Advances in research have led to increased interest in the properties and potential of cannabis to treat many illnesses that have alluded modern medicine. Now, practitioners and consumers turn their attention to the role that it may play in the treatment of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Special guests:
Jason Nelson | Senior Vice President, Horticulture
Marion McNabb, DrPH, MPH
Founder and President
Cannabis Center of Excellence, INC
The focus has been on the immune modulation and vascular effects of cannabis.1,2 As with any pharmacological treatment, the effects will depend on patient specifics and the stage of disease. To grasp the current state of research, CRx evaluates the weight of evidence and speaks with experts in the field of medicinal cannabis. When working with medicinal cannabis in the age of COVID-19, it may help to think in wo separate categories: COVID-19 naïve (cannabis use in a population that is not and has no record of having been infected by COVID-19) and acute COVID-19.
Can Using Cannabis Make People More Susceptible to COVID-19 Infection?
David Bearman, MD, executive vice president of the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine and a certified cannabinoid medicine specialist, notes that it’s important to distinguish between adult and medicinal cannabis use.
Concerning adult use, Bearman would err on the side of caution and recommends people “take an herbal vacation until they’ve been successfully vaccinated.” If a person is using cannabis to relieve symptoms of a serious illness, such as cancer or epilepsy, Bearman believes it may be beneficial for some patients to continue treatment but makes it clear that “risk assessment for cannabis during the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be made in conjunction with the health care provider on a case-by-case basis.”
The intent is to ensure that potential benefits outweigh the risks. Bearman also emphasizes that any inhalation—whether via smoking or vaporizing—increases a person’s risk of COVID-19 because the respiratory route of cannabis increases both sputum and bronchial irritation, making a person more susceptible to infection. Essentially, if cannabis is being used medicinally, clinicians should discuss the immune modulation effects and route of administration with patients.

The Great Pharmacy Resignation | Pharmacy Podcast Nation

Ashlee Hayes, PharmD, MHA, known as RxAshlee, RETURNS to the Pharmacy Podcast Network for a special discussion: 
The Great Pharmacy Resignation is propelled by three forces:
1. The changing generation – different expectations and different needs, goals, and desires
2. The economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic
3. And, the realization people have had that they can have a different social contract, spending more time with family when they work remote and skip the commute.
RxAshlee Blog: https://www.rxashlee.com/blog/the-great-resignation 
We’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid work — a blended model where some employees return to the workplace and others continue to work from homeWe’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid work — a blended model where some employees return to the workplace and others continue to work from home. We’re experiencing this at Microsoft, and today we shared how we’re evolving our own hybrid work strategy for our 160,000+ employees around the world.
(Microsoft blog: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work) 
We’re all learning as we go, but we know two things for sure: flexible work is here to stay, and the talent landscape has fundamentally shifted. Remote work has created new job opportunities for some, offered more family time, and provided options for whether or when to commute. But there are also challenges ahead. Teams have become more siloed this year and digital exhaustion is a real and unsustainable threat.
BELOW ARE TOP 10 TIPS FOR NAVIGATING YOUR EXIT STRATEGY:
1.     Make sure your contract is signed (in pen, not pencil!) with your new role before you say ANYTHING to your current employer. A promise is not a contract, so make sure you have this solidified before you talk to your current employer about quitting.
2.     Keep everything positive. I am optimist at heart, so I recognize this style might not be popular. However, in order to maintain your professional presence, network, and personal brand, just stay focused on your next steps. You might have had a terrible experience at your role, but lucky for you – that is ALL behind you. Remember, your personal brand is what people say about you when you are no longer in the room.
3.     Communicate your learning experiences directly to your coworkers. Express gratitude for what you learned in your current role. If possible, connect with the top 5-10 people (depending upon your company size, maybe more) and articulate what they taught you while you are at the company. Make people feel special. Make them feel like they positively contributed to your career & your life. Trust me: this is important!
4.     KEEP IT BRIEF. Have you heard the term “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” If not, now you have! There is absolutely no need to go into details about: why you are leaving, when you start your new role, what your new title, company, salary, etc. is in your next endeavors. When in doubt, go back to #2. You can say “I am ready for a change.” That is it!
5.     Be ready to GTFO. Some employers might want you to stay longer than you want to. Ideally, between you leaving this role and beginning your next role, you will take some time off, so USE that time off to be OFF – do not work anymore then you absolutely have to.
6.     Consider freelancing or consulting. If they are really struggling to see you go AND you have a desire to support the company continuously, pitch them your freelance & consultation rate. Since you have an area of expertise that they will now have a shortage in, see what they say.
7.     Meet with your boss via Zoom or in person. Unless there are extreme circumstances, tell your manager face to face or over a call. This shows that you are bold, direct, and honest with conducting your professional presence. Have the hard conversation and move on.
8.     Exit interviews are not absolute. Unless you signed a contract that requires you to have an exit interview, if you do not feel comfortable having one, then do not do it.
9.     Give adequate leave time. The standard resignation time is 2-weeks. However, many of my clients go much beyond the two weeks notice because they are in the middle of projects or overseeing clients. This is up to you on the time you feel comfortable leaving, but I would not stay longer than 4-weeks. It is time to move, so just put your foot down and give a specific timeline. Set the expectations appropriately, you are the leader in this transition. Give yourself ample time in between finish date and start date so you can be refreshed for your next role too.
10.  Write the letter of resignation. A resignation letter is a document that notifies your employer that you are leaving your job. It formalizes your departure from your current employment and can be written as a printed letter or an email message.

5th Grade Math and Common Sense | The PUTTcast

Listen in as co-hosts Monique Whitney & Scott Newman share the mic with TrueScripts founder Nathan Gabhart to discuss the company's unique origins, common-sense practices, and how this non-traditional pharmacy benefit manager is shattering the mold that corporate PBMs can't & won't break! 
About PUTT: 
Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency (PUTT) is a non-profit advocacy organization founded by independent pharmacists and pharmacy owners devoted to exposing the truth about the anti-competitive tactics of pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). Known to most Americans as their "prescription drug benefit plan" provider, PBMs are in reality a $300 billion industry - giant corporate middlemen driving up the cost of medications with huge mark ups and commissions on every prescription covered under their "benefits plan." Working with local and national traditional and digital media that includes The New York Times, USA Today, CBS News, Bloomberg, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt and Business Insider, PUTT seeks to educate patients, lawmakers, health plan sponsors and the public about the deeply negative effects of the PBM industry on U.S. healthcare and the escalating price of prescription medications.

The Last Prisoner Project | CRx Podcast

How did the “The War on Drugs” disproportionally affect racial minorities? How did the “The War on Drugs” specifically affect Black Americans?
As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered criminal convictions and the consequences of those convictions.
At the Last Prisoner Project we utilize a three-pronged approach to securing FULL freedom for the communities we serve. Through intervention, advocacy, and awareness campaigns the Last Prisoner Project works to redress the past and continuing harms of these unjust laws and policies.
The Last Prisoner Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform. LPP was founded in 2019 out of the belief that if anyone is able to profit and build wealth in the legal cannabis industry, those individuals must also work to release and rebuild the lives of those who have suffered from cannabis criminalization.

Improving Market Access and Reimbursement for PGX Diagnostics | PGX for Pharmacists

ALVA10: the Power of Diagnostics 
Have you ever questioned why a payer pays for a medication, yet does not pay for the diagnostic test to determine if the medication will be efficacious and non-toxic for the patient?
Or perhaps, you may have wondered why payers agree to pay for a medication for which no diagnostic test exists to diagnose the condition the medication treats? 
If these types of questions keep you awake at night like they do me, please join me for this podcast episode in which I and my esteemed colleagues, Hannah Mamuszka and Lena Chaihorsky of Alva10 discuss answers to these questions and the general state of the pharmacogenomics market access and reimbursement landscape. 
Lena Chaihorsky & Hannah Mamuszka join Dr. Becky Winslow to discuss diagnostic testing and the preventative savings for PGX testing for patients on multiple medications.

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.
