A recently published Serial cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data has been published suggesting that overall blood pressure control in adults with hypertension over the last 4 years has declined.
Why is this? What tips can the pharmacist and prescriber use to improve control? Can these professionals work together to improve BP control? Can we survive under pressure?

New flexibilities in delivering flu vaccinations could be a ‘game-changer’, but without them, pharmacies may struggle to run a flu vaccination program at all this winter.
Pharmacies are preparing for what is expected to be a surge in flu vaccinations this year as Americans are putting a greater focus on staying healthy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Pharmacies are preparing for what is expected to be a surge in flu vaccinations this year as Americans are putting a greater focus on staying healthy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In anticipation of that double whammy of flu and covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, flu vaccine manufacturers have boosted production by about 15 percent, to record levels, with nearly 200 million doses for the United States. During the 2019-2020 flu season, more than the 175 million doses were churned out, industry officials said.

Pharmacy CrossRoads Interview Sheet
Podcast #3 – Introducing Bruce Kneeland; The Road Trip Guy
In the Third Episode of the brand-new podcast series called Pharmacy CrossRoads, Todd Eury, founder and CEO of The Pharmacy Podcast Network Interviews Pharmacy CrossRoads host Bruce Kneeland. Kneeland talks about how he became the Road Trip guy, and explains just what a road trip entrails. We think you’ll be surprised at how much work goes into organizing one. More importantly Kneeland tells us for of the key pharmacy success principles has distilled from the hundreds of interviews he has held with pharmacy owners all across the country. .
So, Bruce, to start can you provide a brief overview of your career in pharmacy - who are you, and what brought you to this point?
Whew, so, that’s a lot of jobs – how did all of that lead to becoming The Road Trip guy
What are the biggest take ways that apply to our listeners today – you know – with low reimbursement, egregious audits, DIR fees, mail order, etc. What have you learned that will help pharmacy owners today?
Do something other than pharmacy and do it exceptionally well
Atmosphere, ambiance, looks matters
Most people won’t, but a few will pay
Have a “can do” attitude. Grit
Management matters
Have a noble purpose
Sell you staff
Delegate
Be flexible, try new things, fail forward
So what is a road trip – do you just get in your car and take off and drop in on pharmacies
Have an idea, theme
Get magazine to cover
Find a sponsor
Search for exceptional pharmacies
Not all pharmacies get to be those that work with the sponsor
Separated by about 200-300 miles, leap frog
Not doing the same thing – something special
Call to see if they will, a few won’t or can’t
Schedule the visit
Make travel arrangements

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, but especially for healthcare workers on the front lines. Due to this, it’s more important now than ever, that pharmacy technicians practice at the very top of their license. While boards of pharmacy have traditionally limited pharmacy technician practice from performing such tasks like final product verification, administering immunizations to patients, or performing CLIA-waived point of care testing, more and more states are undergoing the process of reviewing, discussing, and in some cases changes their rules to permit properly trained technicians to perform these and other tasks. To further seize on this trend, NHA has spearheaded an initiative to bring together representatives from some of the biggest pharmacy organizations in the industry.
The initiative, The Coalition for the Advancement of Pharmacy Technician Practice, aims to work together to stay up to date with current state boards of pharmacy that are discussing this very important topic, and to engage other state boards of pharmacy to consider broadening pharmacy technician scope of practice. By bringing together retail pharmacy giants like Albertsons Companies, Walmart, Kroger and Walgreens, along with state pharmacy associations, pharmacy academicians, and organizations such as the Pharmacy Technician Educators Council, the coalition’s collective voice and singular mission is to further expedite the spread of states allowing pharmacy technicians to do more. This support from the industry will be key to continuing to elevate the pharmacy profession across the nation.
In this episode, OnScript brings together representatives from some of the coalition’s partnering organizations to discuss the importance of expanding pharmacy technician roles and the positive impact that has been realized in those states that have already expanded pharmacy technician practice. It is fitting and timely that this discussion happen on Pharmacy Technician’s Day to show pharmacy technicians that the industry recognizes the important role they play in all pharmacies and how critical it is to advocate and be an additional voice for the technician workforce, and also pass on the gratitude that each of these organizations have for the work technicians are doing everyday. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Healthcare has many opportunities to better leverage technology. The chance to get involved in technology and healthcare is easier than you might think. Everyone can have, maybe everyone should have, a role in improving technology and healthcare. Hackathons offer one way in helping connect those with a passion for technology, healthcare, and love to "show not just tell" how healthcare can be better.
The PittChallenge 2020 will be the fourth annual University of Pittsburgh’s School of Pharmacy large-scale, student-run hackathon. Over the weekend of October 23rd to 25th 2020, students from across the United States will gather virtually for 48 hours (from registration to closing ceremony) to build the coolest and most innovative web, mobile, and hardware health applications; meet amazing people; and win prizes and awards.
This year's event will be special in many ways to account for factors like COVID-19. It will feature participants with representation from top computer science and pharmacy schools around the nation. A strong focus will be placed on innovative ideas to address areas affected by COVID-19 such as telehealth, remote working/learning environments, combating social isolation, and more.
Listen in on this conversation between David Berkowitz PharmD, PittChallenge leader Britney Stottlemeyer (PharmD, '21, and Ravi Patel, PharmD) as they discuss how events like these possible to allow anyone at any experience level to help change healthcare.
