Bill and Will Lockwood -- The American Society For Automation In Pharmacy (ASAP) | Pharmacy Crossroads

The American Society For Automation In Pharmacy – or ASAP – could be the pharmacy organization that most directly effects the daily practice of pharmacy.  And, it is very likely that you, as a practicing pharmacist, have never heard of this important organization. 
In this episode of PharmacyCrossRoads we talk with Bill Lockwood, founder and Executive Director ASAP.  Joining in the program is Will Lockwood, Assistant Director of ASAP and Bill’s son.  These two industry experts explain how the standard settings services ASAP provides make it possible for your pharmacy system to provide a variety of services, without which, modern day pharmacy practice would not be possible.
You’ll learn how ASAP brings industry competitors together, in a carefully coordinated and legal manner, to address issues that make it possible for Prescription Drug Monitoring programs to work, for interfaces between various pharmacy systems and services to work.  And, how the organization works with the FDA, CMS and other government agencies to insure you can fill scripts quickly and accurate and that all your systems “play nice” with one another.

Pharmacogenomics Education (Part 1) | PGX For Pharmacist

Pharmacogenomics Education is critical to advancing the Pharmacist's optimal impact on medication management as a tool to ensure the drugs prescribed work as intended. 
The State of the Industry -- Pharmacogenomics Education
Clinical pharmacogenomics activities may include designing patient-specific drug and dosage regimens based on genetic profile, documenting clinical recommendations, educating pharmacists and other health care professionals, and recommending testing
Advanced training in pharmacogenomics may open up more practice opportunities for pharmacists, such as developing clinical decision support tools in electronic health record systems that guide prescribers on appropriate drug therapy regimens based on genetic profiles. Additionally, pharmacists can develop institutional guidelines and processes for implementing clinical pharmacogenomics services into various practice settings.
Pharmacists can also develop patient education materials to explain the significance of the tests and serve as expert consultants in a pharmacogenomics service.

Why Apple and Facebook Are Fighting | DarshanTalks

Starting on Monday, people with iPhones will begin to see pop-up messages on their screens asking whether they will permit companies to follow them from app to app.
Currently, Facebook and companies like it track the ways people use their phones, picking up bits of information such as how often they open their yoga app and what they buy at Target. Facebook then uses that information to help companies target their ads.
Apple says that it wants people to have a choice about participating in this information-harvesting system. Facebook says these ads help make the internet free for all. These two companies have incompatible views of the future of digital life, and they really don’t like each other, as my colleagues Mike Isaac and Jack Nicas detailed.

Rookie Mistakes in Patient Engagement | DarshanTalks

What is Patient Engagement? Patients offer different perspectives about the healthcare industry pharmaceutical companies. 
Patient engagement is centered on providers and patients working together to improve health. A patient’s greater engagement in healthcare contributes to improved health outcomes. Patients want to be engaged in their healthcare decision-making process, and those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and experience better outcomes.

Understanding the Challenges of Patient Medication Adherence | RxSafe

Background: Positive associations between medication adherence and beneficial outcomes primarily come from studying filling/consumption behaviors after therapy initiation. Few studies have focused on what happens before initiation, the point from prescribing to dispensing of an initial prescription. 
Objective: to provide guidance and encourage high-quality research on the relationship between beneficial outcomes and initial medication adherence (IMA), the rate initially prescribed medication is dispensed.
Using “Initial Medication Adherence” IMA rigorously & include providing convincing evidence that initial prescribing and dispensing events are identified, supplemental parameters incorporating perspective and substitution biases are addressed, and contextual parameters are included.
Medications are the most common treatment regimen used in ambulatory health care. Yet, adhering to prescribed medications is a major issue affecting health care because nonadherence has been associated with worsening clinical symptoms and disease progression. Furthermore, medication nonadherence has been linked to increased health care visits, services, and costs. Studies linking nonadherence to these unfavorable outcomes have used various operational definitions for adherence—each with its own nomenclature (e.g., persistence), several representing similar if not exact components of medication adherence, which we call initial medication adherence (IMA). 
For example: the IMA process begins with a prescriber and patient interaction in an emergency room/ department, hospital, or other clinic setting (step 1) that results in a prescribing event (step 2)—the first of the two key events needed for an IMA measurement. When a prescribing event occurs, data collected from the perspective of either a prescriber or a patient will capture it, whereas data collected from the perspective of a pharmacist will not. To qualify as IMA, however, the prescribing event must relate to a patient’s first prescription within a therapeutic class (step 4).
Otherwise, the dispensing event becomes part of a PIMA metric (step 5).
Data from either the patient or the prescriber should be able to determine whether the prescribing event is an initial event. The pharmacist becomes aware of prescribing events only when these events are communicated to the pharmacist for filling (step 6).
Therefore, the pharmacist does not know how many prescribing events have occurred, only how many have been communicated. However, once the pharmacist receives the prescription (step 7) and fills it (step 8), the pharmacist must dispense the prescription to the patient (step 9). The dispensing event is the second key event needed for measuring IMA (step 10).
With dispensing the medication to the patient, both the pharmacist and the patient know that the IMA is achieved, but the prescriber does not. If a pharmacist does not dispense a filled prescription, the prescription becomes abandoned to the pharmacist and is restocked (step 11).
If an abandoned prescription is not transferred to another pharmacist (step 12) and subsequently dispensed, the patient will be initially nonadherent (step 13). Either the pharmacist or the prescriber may transfer the prescription from one pharmacy to another, but neither may know that the prescription has been dispensed. 
— How can pharmacists use the IMA process in communications with physicians? — Explain how pharmacists can educate patients about better adherence with their initial prescriptions—What are the main reasons for medication non-adherence?

The Mission of TruePill | FutureDose.Tech

What is the Mission of TruePill? Listen in to this fascinating conversation with Dr. David Berkowitz & TruePill co-founder Sid Viswanathan. 
Much of the tech stack connecting health care providers is antiquated and is in need of modernization. One of the companies helping to evolve the healthcare information highway is Truepill. Truepill got their start as the pharmacy fulfillment technology behind popular consumer brands like Hims/Hers and GoodRx.
Since then, Truepill has expanded into other vertical spaces like telehealth and has created a comprehensive API-connected healthcare infrastructure to meet many of their customer’s needs.  Listen in as Dave speaks to Truepill’s CEO Sid Visawanathan, about how Truepill empowers their partners to deliver world-class patient experiences.
Sid Viswanathan is the Co-Founder and President of Truepill. Alongside Co-Founder Umar Afridi, Sid founded Truepill in 2016 to revolutionize the pharmacy and healthcare industry. The company shipped its first prescription less than five years ago and has since expanded its services to deliver an end-to-end, direct-to-patient experience unlike anything else in the healthcare industry.
In 2010, Sid founded his first company, CardMunch, a business-card scanning app which was acquired by LinkedIn soon after its founding. After its acquisition, Sid joined LinkedIn as Product Manager and saw CardMunch named one of Time Magazine’s Best Apps of 2012. Sid started his career in Johnson & Johnson’s Global Operations Leadership Development program, working in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering.

Be The Voice | APhA’s President, Dr. Sandra Leal & CEO, Dr. Scott Knoer

Sandra Leal is the President of the APhA and is a longtime advocate and leader for #providerstatus, Sandra has had a tremendous impact on the profession and we are honored to have her on the Pharmacy Podcast. Sandra is committed to the theme & mission for pharmacists to "Be the Voice for Pharmacy" and she asks that you join her in her mission by speaking up and using your voices too.

@SLealRx
@BetheVoiceRx
Scott Knoer, PharmD is the CEO of the APhA and is committed to changing the payment system of the strangle-hold status quo system controlled by the 3 leading PBMs which process more than 75% of all prescriptions in the U.S. 
CONNECT w/ SCOTT 
@ScottKnoer
The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) has joined a federal lawsuit filed by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) in January to challenge direct and indirect remuneration (DIR) fees.
DIR fees have been a point of contention since they were loosely established in 2014 because they allow pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to retroactively impose these fees on pharmacies and, indirectly, on patients long after the point of sale.
“HHS has acknowledged on multiple occasions that retroactive pharmacy DIR fees inflict harm on pharmacies and increase costs for their patients, but it has repeatedly neglected to address the problem,” said APhA EVP and CEO Scott J. Knoer, MS, PharmD, FASHP, in a press release. “This lawsuit puts pharmacy in the driver’s seat. We demand that HHS meet its obligations and use its authority to stop PBMs from operating without accountability.”
Scott was interviewed by Pharmacy Times Alana Hippensteele & said: 
Right now, obviously, doctors, PAs, nurse practitioners, and—this is no insult intended whatsoever—but audiologists and nurse midwives are also providers. Pharmacists are the second most educated with PharmD's and our bachelor's pharmacists have been working 30 years with experience, and my audiologist, I have a hearing tested—God love her—she did a great job, but she's not trained at the level pharmacists are. So it's just ludicrous that pharmacists cannot bill for the services they all went to school for.
So—we'll get to this, I know you've got your questions, I'm sorry I give long answers to short questions—the problem is pharmacies are only reimbursed for product in the community setting, and 20 years ago that was okay because you got paid enough where I could talk to your mom about her diabetes. Now the PBMs have sucked so much money out of the health care system without providing any real value that all you can do is volume. That's why we've had reporter—just recently Adiel Kaplan at NBC news—talk about the challenges in chain pharmacies. I love chain pharmacies, but they tend to have busier pharmacies, people are stressed out, they're burned out, they're worried about making errors—so that was a long answer to what's this do—it allows for patients in underserved areas where—it's not everyone, but it's a good start—for pharmacists to bill for what they went to school for. For a sustainable practice model—it's not sustainable right now.

Changing Your Life & Impacting others through Functional Medicine | Dr. Christine Manukyan, PharmD

Dr. Christine Manukyan is a Functional Medicine Pharmacist.
What's that even mean?
Take a listen & learn as Dr. Manukyan shares her journey through pharmacy as an immigrant from Armenia, to becoming a director of pharmacy, and working as a hospital pharmacist in one of the largest hospitals in Los Angeles, CA.
Dr. Manukyan career was growing while her health was declining. Like so many busy moms, she was suffering from burnout and letting her health go. Christine had an alarming wake-up call at age 35 after her physician told her she could have a heart attack at any time if she didn’t change her ways. As millions of Americans, she was handed a prescription for a cholesterol medication and sent on her way.
Fast forward from 2015 to 2021, Dr. Manukyan has now left her corporate position as a pharmacist and is a full-time entrepreneur as a functional medicine pharmacist. She is able to be a full-time mom while having a successful business – something that she wants to help more pharmacist moms do the same. 
Christine's advice is: "Give yourself permission to dream big and take action to go after and manifest your dreams!"
