Pharmacy Podcast co-host and President of GRX Marketing interviews pharmacy owner Eric Pusey, R.Ph., CDE, with Medicap Pharmacy in Olyphant, Pennsylvania and current president of the Pennsylvania Pharmacist Association. What is compliance packaging? Pharmacies across the nation now have another option to offer their medication management patients with medication compliance packaging, whereby a patient’s medications are blister-packed into cards or another packaged system organized by time-of-day and day-of-week. The pharmacy staff organizes all the medications for your a patient's convenience. A multi-dose packaging system makes everything simpler for patients. Sorted and packaged by a staff member or pharmacist, each dose is personalized for that specific patient and they’re clearly labeled by date and time of day, giving the patient comfort of knowing they took the right medication at the right time.  No more guesswork, and no more bottles or pillboxes.

Is there a visiting nurse service you could partner with in the community? Is there a way you could organize a community task force for disaster relief if, God forbid, something happens to your community? What about a tox away day? Can you set up a phone tree with other pharmacists to prevent theft and diversion in pharmacy? What can you do with strong non profits in your area that would help the community? Can you bring the community IN to your pharmacy to hang out and be a spot of joy and hope for your neighborhood, instead of another icky task they have to check off of their list?

Blair Green Thielemier, PharmD interviews Michael Haulsee, PharmD.  PAYSA Health Services   Pharmacists Assuring Your Safe Access Michael is CEO and Co-founder of PAYSA Health Services. It has always been his vision to create a sustainable ecosystem for healthcare where the geographical borders would cease to exist for quality healthcare access. As technology grows and advanced medical techniques are being developed and practiced across the globe, the concept of the international patient is being more and more relevant. According to him, there should be more connectivity between quality healthcare and the patient. At the same time there must be 100% transparency on quality and cost parameters so the patient makes an educated decision. It was this noble notion and his years of experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry that led to the

Darshan Kulkarni, JD, PharmD, discusses the impact of NonAdherence: Successful treatment of disease with prescription medicines requires consistent use of the medicines as prescribed. Yet research shows that medicines commonly are not used as directed. Nonadherence to medicines is a major health care cost and quality problem, with numerous studies showing high rates of nonadherence directly related to poor clinical outcomes, high health care costs, and lost productivity. The cost of nonadherence has been estimated at $100 billion to $300 billion annually, including costs from avoidable hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and premature deaths.i Adherence to therapy is especially important for management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Chronic disease affects nearly one in two Americans and treating chronically ill patients accounts for $3 out of every $4 spent on medical care. Many researchers have found that poor

5 Roads into Loving Your Retail Pharmacy Career PART 2: Amy Lenell, PharmD, CLC Pharmacy Manager, Walgreens Amy's focus is to bring the highest level of care to patients in the community practice setting, to promote health and wellness in her community and to enhance the education of future pharmacists.  2. Get out of the fishbowl – Just like Hazel Walker described on the Pharmacy Podcast, you need to build a network inside the profession of pharmacy and OUTSIDE. That INCLUDES networking in your local community, with the patients you serve. My first couple of pharmacy experiences had me surrounded by glass around the pharmacy – so we used to joke that sometimes, we needed to “get out of the fishbowl.” Examples of this: could you get out into the community and discover nursing homes that need adherence packaging for their patients that you could help with? Is there an acute facility in a
