Expanding Long-Term Care Pharmacy at Home, Delivery Logistics, AI, and Healthcare Misinformation | TWIRx May 08, 2026

Show notes

Sponsored by Rx4Route
This Week in Pharmacy returns with a timely two-part episode focused on pharmacy operations, medication access, and the growing responsibility of healthcare communicators in the age of AI.
In our first segment, we welcome Joseph Dymowski, PharmD, CEO of Centennial Pharmacy Services, and Doniyor Sattarov, Vice President of Operations at Rx4Route, for a conversation about expanding long-term care pharmacy at home. As more patients age in place, pharmacies must rethink delivery, logistics, documentation, and patient communication as essential parts of care.
Delivery is no longer just a convenience. It is a critical extension of pharmacy services. Reliable routing, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery help pharmacies improve adherence, reduce operational friction, and build stronger trust with patients, caregivers, and providers.
Expanding LTC pharmacy-at-home services, building scalable delivery workflows, improving route efficiency, using delivery technology to support compliance, and why logistics may become a major competitive advantage for pharmacies.
This episode is sponsored by Rx4Route, pharmacy delivery software designed to help pharmacies streamline delivery operations, optimize routes, track orders, and improve proof-of-delivery workflows.
In our second segment, we speak with **Vincent Grippi, CEO of Grippi Media, about the dangers of AI-generated misinformation and the higher standard required in healthcare communications. As AI becomes more common in content creation, communications professionals must protect accuracy, credibility, and patient trust.
In healthcare, misinformation can influence clinical understanding, damage reputations, and create confusion across the industry. That is why content for healthcare professionals must be reviewed, verified, and guided by human judgment.
AI misinformation in healthcare, responsible content development, source verification, editorial review, subject-matter expertise, and how communicators can use AI without sacrificing trust.
This episode connects two critical forms of trust in pharmacy: operational trust at the patient’s door and informational trust across every communication channel.

Joseph Dymowski, PharmD— CEO, Centennial Pharmacy Services

Precision in Practice; Real Stories, Real Results in Integrative Psychiatry | Precision Medicine Pharmacist Podcast May 05, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to PPN – The Precision Medicine Pharmacist.

In part one of our series, Precision Psychiatry in Practice – A Pharmacist–Physician Collaboration, we explored how a collaborative approach can begin to reshape psychiatric care — building trust, aligning perspectives, and creating space for more personalized treatment.

Today, we move deeper into what that looks like in real-world, integrative medicine psychiatry.

I’m excited to welcome back Dr. Saba Arshad, joined by Dr. Afshan Khan, as we explore how their partnership brings together different clinical perspectives to care for the whole patient — not just symptoms, but the broader context of mental health, lifestyle, and individualized needs.

In this episode, Precision in Practice: Real Stories, Real Results in Integrative Psychiatry, we focus on the human side of collaboration. How do two clinicians with different training and strengths come together to approach complex cases? What does shared decision-making really look like in practice? And how does this integrative model shape better patient outcomes?

We’ll walk through real patient cases, explore the dynamics of their collaboration, and uncover how this partnership continues to evolve to meet patients where they are.

If part one introduced the foundation, today’s episode brings that collaboration to life.

Let’s dive in.

How AI is Changing Your Pharmacy Visit (For Better or Worse) | RxRated Podcast May 04, 2026

Show notes

AI in healthcare is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s already answering the phones at your local CVS. We’re pulling back the curtain on how AI is currently being used in pharmacy practice, from encrypted "VA GPT" systems for note-writing to controversial new phone bots that some patients claim are a "stain on society".
We dive into the big news of the CVS and Google Cloud partnership to launch Health100, a platform designed to integrate your refills, copays, and even wearable health data into a single AI-driven hub. While the promise of centralized care sounds like a dream, the "real-world" experience can feel like a nightmare. We react to a brutal Reddit thread and even call a CVS live to demonstrate the frustration of wrestling with a robot that refuses to transfer you to a human. Whether you're a "tinfoil hat" wearer worried about data leaks or someone just trying to get a prescription after surgery, you need to hear the clinical and personal reality of the AI takeover.
This show is intended for educational and informational purposes.

This C.O. Bigelow Collab Introduces the 188-Year-Old Pharmacy to a New Generation Abbode is taking over the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy-approved shop for a month-long pop-up.
https://fashionista.com/2026/05/co-bigelow-abbode-pop-up-carolyn-bessette-impact
The article highlights how a pop-up and renewed interest in C.O. Bigelow has been fueled by the cultural resurgence of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s minimalist style, amplified by media and social buzz. This renewed attention has driven significant foot traffic and sales, showing how storytelling, nostalgia, and “quiet luxury” aesthetics can translate into real retail impact.
Q&A: Mayo Clinic leaders share strategies for managing high-cost drugs without breaking the bank | Asembia AXS26 Summit https://www.managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/q-a-mayo-clinic-leaders-share-strategies-for-managing-high-cost-drugs-without-breaking-the-bank-asembia-axs26-summit
Mayo Clinic leaders emphasize that managing high-cost drugs requires clear definitions, structured formulary review processes, and multidisciplinary collaboration to balance cost, access, and clinical value. They highlight the importance of evaluating safety, efficacy, financial impact, and site-of-care decisions together, while noting that non-340B systems face increasing pressure from rising costs and reimbursement constraints. Ultimately, success depends on stronger alignment between health systems, manufacturers, and payers to sustain access without compromising quality of care.
Where Gross-to-net Pressure Actually Lives After Launch
Today’s guest post comes from Cindy Baksh, Chief Product Officer at ConnectiveRx.
https://www.drugchannels.net/2026/05/where-gross-to-net-pressure-actually.html
The article explains that “gross-to-net pressure” isn’t driven by a single factor, but by a combination of rebates, discounts, fees, and policy changes that continue to reshape how drug pricing actually works behind the scenes. As the industry shifts toward a “net pricing” model, traditional rebate-driven strategies are weakening, forcing manufacturers, PBMs, and pharmacies to rethink how value and profits are generated.
Today's featured guest is Dr. Ndidiamaka Okpareke PharmD for Congress
Dr. Ndidiamaka “Didi” Okpareke, PharmD, is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and political candidate running for Congress in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District. A first-generation Nigerian-American, she built her career in healthcare after graduating from the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy and went on to found and lead a successful compounding pharmacy serving her community.
Motivated by nearly two decades of patient care experience, Okpareke entered the political arena to address challenges such as healthcare access, rising costs, and the shortage of providers in New Mexico. Running as a Republican, she emphasizes strengthening healthcare systems, supporting economic growth, and preserving opportunity for future generations, positioning herself as a community-focused leader bringing frontline healthcare insight into public policy.
This special episode highlights how TJM Labs is redefining pharmacy operations through AI-driven automation, bringing together insights from industry leaders Bhavesh Patel, PharmD—CEO of Carepoint Pharmacy—and Jonathan Adly, PharmD, MBA—CEO of TJM Labs. At the center of the conversation is how modern pharmacies are facing rising prescription volumes, staffing constraints, and increasing operational complexity, and why traditional manual workflows can no longer keep pace. TJM Labs addresses this challenge by deploying AI-powered “digital workers” that automate tasks like prescription intake, data entry, and patient communication—allowing pharmacy teams to shift their focus back to patient care and clinical decision-making.
Through the lens of both operator and innovator, the discussion explores how AI is not replacing pharmacy professionals, but augmenting them—reducing burnout, improving accuracy, and enabling scalable growth. With automation handling up to the majority of repetitive workload and delivering measurable ROI, TJM Labs represents a new model where technology and pharmacy expertise work together to create more efficient, patient-centered operations.

Tennessee PBM Reform Win | PBM Reform with APCI Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

Tennessee lawmakers have passed a major pharmacy reform bill aimed at pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, by barring companies from owning both a PBM and a pharmacy. The legislation is widely seen as targeting CVS Health, which owns Caremark and operates pharmacies across the state.
Supporters say the bill is designed to curb vertical integration, restore fair competition, and protect independent pharmacies from reimbursement practices they view as harmful to patient access and community pharmacy survival.
CVS has pushed back hard, warning that the new law could force it to shut down its 134 Tennessee pharmacy locations and trigger a legal challenge. The company argues the measure would reduce access for patients and does not directly address broader PBM issues like pricing or formularies.
This Tennessee fight reflects a larger national battle over PBM reform, pharmacy ownership, market power, and the future of prescription drug access.

The Hidden Connection between Gut and Burnout in High Achievers with Ekat | Holistic Pharmacy Podcast Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

What does it actually mean to be healthy if your labs come back "normal" but you still feel terrible?
For too many high-achieving professionals, that question goes unanswered for years. Today's guest knows that experience firsthand and has built her entire practice around closing that gap.
Ekat is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), and Board-Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. After 16+ years on Wall Street, she experienced firsthand what chronic stress, long hours, and burnout can do to a body, and what conventional medicine often misses when it does.
Through her virtual practice, Healthfully Ekat, she helps busy, high-achieving women uncover the root causes behind persistent digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue using functional lab testing, personalized nutrition, and holistic lifestyle strategies.
Her message is as straightforward as it is powerful: you're only going to be as successful as your health allows you to be.
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to stop guessing and start understanding what your body actually needs, so your energy, gut, and hormones can work for you instead of against you.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why "normal" labs don't always mean optimal health
• The connection between chronic stress, gut health, and hormonal chaos
• How functional lab testing changes the root cause conversation
• The microbes we often ignore but shouldn’t (including parasites!)
• What high-performing professionals consistently get wrong about their health
• Why true success requires your body to keep up with your ambition
