Building a Productive Team at your Community Pharmacy | Pharmacy Crossroads Sep 08, 2021

Show notes

Steve Maki RPh at Spruce Mountain Pharmacy Spruce Mountain Pharmacy is located in the beautiful rural country side in the town of, Jay, Maine. Coming in at about 2000 square feet it would appear, to the casual observer to be pretty typical of an independent community pharmacy. But, what owner Steve Maki, PharmD is doing with his team is far from typical. In this episode of PharmacyCrossRoads Maki share his philosophy and some practical ideas on how to turn is staff into a well-oiled healthcare and customer service team. Two years ago, Maki moved his pharmacy into a new, more spacious and more effectively laid out facility and brought in some new technology. Supporting the move and adopting the new technology was a BIG ask for his staff. But by listening, taking advice and delegating tasks things worked out well. As a special bonus Maki has offered up to PharmacyCrossRoads listeners a copy of his 3-page task list. The list shows the key performance indicators (KPI’s) for each of the nine major job categories assigned to team members. While the specific KPI metrics the list includes may not be right for your pharmacy, it is felt that at least seeing how the list is laid out and seeing specific numbers allotted to each task may be helpful. For a free copy of the list email me at: BFKneeland@gmail.com Thank you to Compliant Pharmacy Alliance & RxSafe for supporting this podcast episode and the Pharmacy Podcast Network.

On our inaugural show we chat with, Lyndi Wieand, Weis Markets In-Store Registered Dietitian about her role in DSMES.

Dramatic Increases in CLIA Certificates of Waiver Demonstrate New Trend in Pharmacy Services | FDS Amplicare Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

Dramatic Increases in CLIA Certificates of Waiver Demonstrate New Trend in Pharmacy Service. New research shows that consumer demand for COVID-19 testing has driven pharmacies to become nation’s second-largest provider of CLIA-waived tests CLIA Waivers Background: The U.S. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) enabled greater access to simple, low-risk (CLIA-waived) tests by allowing their use in facilities such as pharmacies, long-term-care facilities, and physician offices. To administer CLIA-waived tests, these facilities must obtain a CLIA certificate of waiver from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Guests: Don Klepser, PhD, MBA, and Mike Klepser, PharmD, FCCP, recently published in Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy, showing that pharmacies are now the nation's second-largest provider of CLIA-waived tests by the total number of locations, trailing only physician offices. Jason Ausili, FDS Amplicare’s Chief Clinical Officer, is available for media interviews about how community pharmacies can build a Point-of-Care Testing practice during this unprecedented time. Administrative barriers have been relaxed and both the CLIA waiver application and the Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN) processes have been expedited to help clear the path for those interested. Challenges: The number of pharmacies with CLIA certificates of waiver jumped 45% to 15,671 from 2015 to 2020. Most of the growth occurred between 2019 and 2020, suggesting that surging consumer demand for COVID-19 diagnostic testing was behind the surge in CLIA certificates of waiver. Solutions: Pharmacies must embrace the opportunity to further entrench themselves as hubs of healthcare in their communities. Pharmacies must adopt the operational tools, training and software solutions needed to seamlessly bill payers for CLIA-waived tests, in addition to the patient communication platforms to support engagement. The COVID-19 pandemic has recently focused a spotlight on CLIA-waived diagnostic testing, as the lack of a vaccine or effective treatment in the early days of the pandemic left diagnostic testing as one of the only tools to control the virus’ spread. To meet this increased patient demand for diagnostic testing, the federal government authorized licensed pharmacists to order and administer authorized COVID-19 tests, attributing the decision to the close relationship pharmacists have with patients and healthcare providers as well as the convenient proximity of pharmacies to most Americans. About FDS Amplicare - FDS Amplicare strengthens the health of pharmacies and their patients. We empower community pharmacies to build the clinically-focused New Era Pharmacy, enabling their business to thrive now and successfully transition to a community and population health provider through data insights, purpose-built technology solutions, and clinical services enablement.Omnicell recently announced its intention to acquire FDS.

Changing Your Life as a Pharmacist | Dr. Jamie Wilkey | PGX for Pharmacists Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

Jamie grew up in a small town in Wyoming where she got her start in pharmacy working at the local City Drug. She attended the University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy for her Doctor of Pharmacy. For 10 years post-graduation Jamie worked in community pharmacy while having and raising her 4 little boys. However, a young family and community pharmacy work schedules are not highly compatible, so in 2020 Jamie created her own job for herself that better suits her talents, her passions, and her family’s busy schedule. She abruptly jumped out of retail and into the world of entrepreneurship and has found her true calling in life. She is the founder & CEO of Arches Health, LLC, and serves there as a precision medicine consultant pharmacist focusing on pharmacogenomics.
