Fostering the Pipeline of Leadership

W

hen we consider what it takes to be a strong leader, it’s never surprising how different people have strong opinions and ideas of what makes a good leader, a strong leader and an effective leader. Most of us can reflect on trainings or workshops where we learned our personality type and leadership styles, and how very different those two can be. We have heard about the foundational constructs necessary to cultivate leadership in ourselves and similarly in others. What does a person need to begin a journey into leadership? What is needed for a person to envision himself or herself as a servant leader, not an entitled leader?

We need to cultivate a place where we develop and support mentors, resilience and accountability, a desire for transparency to build trust, as well as access to resources (people, programs, tools, etc.) and opportunities to thrive.

The strongest leaders have even had the opportunity to fail, grow and learn how to overcome adversity. However, when we only reinvest our time, attention and friendship into the same pool, or pull from within the same group, it creates a self-limiting, short-sighted effort at creating a pipeline and legacy of leadership.

To have a genuine legacy of strong leadership as an Association, it requires more than high titles and positions. We need to break open the small circles to create a channel through which we are investing in new talent, new faces and new names. To break away from the “old boys club” thinking and approaches to leadership, we must seek out and invest our efforts on broadening the areas of practice we are drawing from, and the new thinking and priorities of younger and younger

pharmacist members.

As we seek to elevate the profession, we must also elevate everyone in the profession. It’s time to ask how we are promoting the talents of the techni-

We need to think about the fact that we have nearly 700 graduating students every year. What can be done to reach them and get them to raise their stakes of engagement as they move from FPA student-member to practicing pharmacist?

What can we do to keep them showing up to the annual Legislative Days and

Angela S. Garcia, PharmD, MPH, CPh

Health Fair events? How do we become so valuable serving as their voice that they are compelled to retain and renew their membership as pharmacists?

What do we need to do to reach the 30,000 pharmacists that are licensed in the state to ask, “What would it take to get you to join?” We’re at a slow trickle, and it’s a lot of work to keep the members we have let alone to get new members to join.

Anyone who has served in leadership – keyword being served – knows it takes quite a bit of time and energy to invest in others. It’s easy to stay in your safe haven group, not having to personally invest but waiting for them to run to you to “tag along.” But to invest in someone takes personal time, sacrifice and often some level of frustration because you’re not always going to get what you put into it. You’re taking a chance in another person – another busy, pulled-in-many-directions, personal-demands-competing person, See President’s Viewpoint, continued on page 6 APRIL 2019

and it can end up not being what you expected.

That’s also the beauty of investing in others. You plant seeds, wait for them to take root, continue to nurture them, prune them, leave them to flourish and be there on the cusp for support. If we foster entitled or title-based leaders, we run dry. We allow the thinning that they are someone because of their title, and not the battles and service it takes to challenge the status quo, seek out what others need, and to commit to serving those needs instead of your own. When you get to the place where you say, “I am here to serve the needs of others,” instead of “this is my power to do” – you

To take on the responsibility that it’s not all play, that a lot of time, it’s sweat and even tears, means that you have embraced the responsibility in which you have been entrusted. Sound familiar?

It should – it’s part of our oath. If when we made the decision for taking on a position of leadership we reflected on the position and read what the duties were, maybe we would be moved into a different approach and spirit of leadership. To serve the Association and its members, rather than a “sure, why not” approach thinking I have a certain power now.

Executive Insight

BY MICHAEL JACKSON, RPH MICHAEL JACKSON, BPHARM, EVP & CEO, FLORIDA PHARMACY ASSOCIATION

I

We Are Still Talking About This

wrote about metrics being used in pharmacy practice back in September of last year and it continues to be an ongoing problem. It’s like a sore back that won’t get better. What am I talking about here? Simply, it’s the use of performance measures in pharmacy practices based upon time standards. If you have not read that article, you can find it at Pharmview.com in the September issue of Florida Pharmacy Today. You can also find it in the member forum on the FPA website. Take a moment to read the article first before you continue with this month’s message.

So why are we still talking about this issue? That is because there is no evidence that the position taken by the FPA House of Delegates last summer – for reference, see the September 2018 article published in Florida Pharmacy Today, the policy statements adopted at APhA 2018 or new policies adopted by APhA 2019 – has resulted in a change in behavior by those in senior management. The appeals for change by rank and file pharmacists is overwhelming.

The measures that are continuing to be used today are now causing pharmacists to connect this issue to concerns over patient safety, and that is a serious problem.

We are still talking about this because it is troublesome that those who are in decision-making roles are not taking proactive measures to change what is going on. If so, then we would not continue to hear about the problem of the use of metrics as a performance measure. The ongoing dialog related to pharmacist work/life balance would not be the No. 1 topic of conversation among our pharmacist colleagues.

We are still talking about this because unless the inappropriate use of metrics gets fixed, we will never be able

to advance this profession to where it needs to go. Take for example the intense effort by the FPA to fight for changes to the pharmacist practice act to take advantages of the skills of to-

We are still talking about this because unless the inappropriate use of metrics gets fixed, we will never be able to advance this profession to where it needs to go.

Take for example the intense effort by the FPA to fight for changes to the pharmacist practice act to take advantages of the skills of today’s contemporary pharmacist. day’s contemporary pharmacist. These changes are necessary to keep our profession as an essential part of the health care team, yet the use of performance metrics does nothing but create barriers to the delivery of that advanced care. Pharmacists want to provide advanced patient-care services, and those

Michael Jackson, B.Pharm

who do are highly satisfied with their practice. But pharmacists are unwilling to support and advocate for these changes if performance metrics continue to be used in the way that they are.

We have members of the legislature who are fighting for us on issues such as collaborative practice and testing and treating, from influenza and streptococcus, but they are hearing from constituent pharmacists that their proposed legislation is not well received because of the metrics that they are being held accountable for.

Our regulatory board is attempting to recraft rules to advance technician practices to relieve the basic tasks that pharmacists must perform. This includes but is not limited to increasing ratios, redefining direct supervision by allowing registered technicians to work remotely and engaging in policies that allow technicians to check other technicians. Very little of those conversations include whether technicians could or See Executive Insight, continued on page 8 APRIL 2019 |

President’s Viewpoint, continued from page 6

Executive insight, continued from page 7

we are changing to help make visible the new approach to leadership the Association is embracing. It’s never ever been out with the old and in with the new. It’s been about a new spirit and focus … are we serving ourselves or the purpose of our members. As leaders, we should build others up, so we can step away and no one notices because the great things are deeply rooted and flourish without us “in the way.”

For anyone confused, take time to review that Strategic Plan, read the new vision, mission and core values statements. Take a long hard look at some of the transformation that has happened within the Councils and Committees.

Changes, timely changes, are happening and it’s waking up the pharmacists, technicians and student-pharmacists in this state. It takes more than a title to be an effective leader; it takes time, energy and effort to invest in making others better than yourself. There is nothing more amazing than facilitating the development of skills based on an individual’s passion and watching it drive them to higher and higher levels of personal and professional success. I love the saying, “If you’re the biggest one in the room (or you tout to be), then you’re in the wrong room.”

Similarly, if you are in the front and you’re trying to bring attention to yourself or your “power,” then you’re missing the point of leadership. However, if you are leading from behind, putting others before yourself and supporting those around you, then you’re able to provide perspective, oversight, encouragement, guidance and direction.

You open the pipeline and help recruit a new kind of momentum in the leadership.

To sustain these leadership practices and to truly invest in others takes a lot of commitment and time. But if you’re serious about leadership and being a new kind of leader, you know the investment is not about immediate return. It’s planting those seeds, waiting for the seeds to grow and knowing when to harvest. n

should be held accountable for tasks that may not be done correctly. It ultimately falls on the pharmacist when there is a service failure.

I came across an article that listed the professions with the least stress and included in the title was pharmacy as one of those professions. That article title caught my attention because I wanted to discover the basis of the author’s conclusion. In reading the article, it was revealed that the subject was written about the pharmacy technician and not the pharmacist, which partially makes sense.

Again, when things go wrong, it is the pharmacist that must be answerable and responsible. Perhaps that stress level would change once rules are revised that shift the accountability (and liability) of activity in a pharmacy to registered technicians.

The Board of Pharmacy has opened a number of rules related to pharmacy technicians with a goal toward implementing a change in their practices. For now, pharmacists are very protective of their technicians. It’s not that they don’t have faith in their skills and abilities. Rather, my colleagues are very sensitive to the delegation of certain professional responsibilities to their technician staff. We all want them to succeed. That thinking will change in the future as the profession grows, but for now the use of metrics has to change if this profession is going to advance. There are many issues that can be written about and published in Florida Pharmacy Today, but this one must continue to be an ongoing topic until “measurable” change in the use of metrics becomes obvious. n

Ready or Not, Changes are Coming.

Will You Be on Board?

By David “Chachi” Mackarey, BPharm, AAHIVP | Owner/Founder, 3DPMhealthcare LLC 2018-2019 FPA President-Elect | 2019-2020 FPA President When I was first starting out as an intern about 35 years ago, pharmacy was a lot different back then from the way it is today – some for the better, some not so much. During that time in the early 1980s, prescription labels were mainly done by the use of typewriters (millennials can Google what these are), refills were recorded on index cards, and patient profiles were created/ stored with a pen, paper and alphabetized manila folders. Computers were just being introduced and only affordable by the big chain pharmacies. Most of us were hesitant, intimidated and resistant to this new pharmacy tool, as we were happy and comfortable with what we had been using for many years, with no problems. Why change something that works just fine with no problems?

Now jump ahead to today, 2019, and not one pharmacy personnel would give up his or her computer or printer for even one hour. For goodness sake, we have a panic attack when either of these crash, freeze or jam for just a few minutes. So, the lesson learned here is to not be so afraid of change, but to be open to it. Sure, you can approach it slowly until you become comfortable, but don’t become stuck doing the same thing, the same way, day after day, thinking that it’s great that way and it can’t be improved with a different way.

Another important thing to remember is that we may not necessarily want these changes to occur or be directly involved with the decision-making process regarding these changes, but know for sure that any changes will have a direct impact on your job satisfaction, happiness and success.

Thus, one needs to be aware of and anticipate what changes may be looming right around the corner and be not afraid of it, but use it to your advantage and make the best of it. Who knows, it may even make your job/life even better than you ever thought, like the example above when computers were first introduced into pharmacy.

So where is all this leading to, you ask? I intend to apply the previous words of wisdom to your everyday life … mainly your pharmacy career. My first 20 years of pharmacy practice was working for the big retail chain stores, as that’s where I was most comfortable, content and satisfied, or so I thought.

So, then I went to work in specialty pharmacy, where at first I was intimidated and scared, but quickly learned to love it.

But corporate mergers and downsizing occurred, and I then found myself working in the long-term care pharmacy setting, which also led to unforeseen changes. I now realized that I had to be creative and find an opportunity in pharmacy,

for someone my age, with limited previous experience. While doing some networking with fellow members from the Florida Pharmacy Association, I found myself collaborating with some new and old pharmacy colleagues, leading to the creation of my business, 3DPMhealthcare LLC. It began with the main focus of business being “chronic care management,” or CCM, which is a program that was created by CMS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It’s been around for a few short years and is highly promoted by CMS, as it helps patients achieve better health outcomes, allows collaboration between physicians and pharmacists, helps reduce health care costs, which reduce hospital re-admittances, and creates additional revenue for many health care professionals. Of course I was nervous at first, doing something that I’ve never done prior, starting a new business at my age in an area that I wasn’t very familiar with, and not knowing many other pharmacists doing this service to ask for advice or to gauge how successful they’ve been themselves.

Years ago, we didn’t have all these options or opportunities available like there are today, mostly because the pharmacy profession has changed greatly since I graduated 30 years ago. But I decided to take advantage of these new changes, use them to my best abilities and have multiple opportunities that I would have missed if it wasn’t for change, and my decision to ignore my fears and hesitations.

I’m not saying it wasn’t without hard work, but nothing worth having ever comes easy. Possibilities come in many different forms, some you may have never seen or heard of before, and some that need to be created by yourself, adapting to your specific wants and needs. You also can look at what others are doing and bring it to the next level, making improvements, expanding and even reinventing something old into something newly creative with modern technology, making it more worthwhile, valuable and successful. It doesn’t have to be that complex or supernatural. Just know that our pharmacy profession is constantly changing and you need to be prepared and be able to adapt in order to survive.

Other suggestions I have to offer to better help you adapt to changes are to be informed; keep up to date with pharmacy news; become members of local, state and national professional pharmacy associations and organizations; know that networking among colleagues is priceless; ask others in our profession for help or advice; stay educated and keep up with certifications, as they can give you an advantage to certain opportunities not available to others; know that you are never to old, or young, to do anything in pharmacy; and always be professional and proud in everything you do, as your name and reputation lasts a lifetime and beyond.

19th Annual Florida Pharmacists’ Health Fair and Legislative Days Report

By Angela S. Garcia, Pharm.D., M.P.H., C.Ph. We would like to thank our 2019 Health Fair Team: Tenim Novoa (Health Fair coordinator), Bert Martinez, Genevieve Hale, Joseph Shoyoye, Yesinia Prados, Matt Schneller, Olga Wydner, Joy Wright, Sandi Buck-Camp and Angela Garcia, and students on the FPA Student Affairs Council representing all seven of our pharmacy programs and multiple pharmacy practice settings.

Last month had been an extremely busy month for our Association and members of the leadership, as we hosted our 19th Annual Florida Pharmacists’ Legislative Days and Health Fair again in Tallahassee at the Florida Capitol, March 11- 13. Our Health Fair was hosted on Tuesday March 12, which was different than years past when it was held on Wednesday, allowing us to promote it during our first day of lobbying. However, the organization and

10

|

FLORIDA PHARMACY TODAY

provision of care and education by our students, Health Fair Team and supervising faculty and pharmacists allows us to deliver an excellent event on behalf of the FPA and FSHP. We also implemented some major changes to the structure and process of the event, to reduce congestion in the 2nd floor rotunda where the health fair is held and to focus on the clinical services most commonly provided in ambulatory and community pharmacy-based settings.

In addition, we extend our gratitude for the time invested by Dr. Tenim Novoa in coordinating all seven schools and colleges of pharmacy and for the time and support that Publix Pharmacy provided, allowing her to help us execute a phenomenal event. Her duties included serving as a liaison to the Student Affairs

Council, communicating with faculty and ensuring all students were appropriately credentialed and all stations were supervised in required pharmacist to student ratios.

This year we had an incredible sponsor through Quidel, which allowed us to provide specific education on the rapid point of care testing equipment (Sophia 2), which aligned with one of our priority legislative agenda items HB 111/SB 300 Test and Treat. Their generosity was greatly appreciated and encouraged our students to be confident knowing what the equipment looked like as well as its ease of function when advocating with legislators. Their financial support provided for supplies and resources needed to execute one of our strongest health fair events to date. Additional major sponsors for this event were the Brevard County Pharmacy Association, Broward County Pharmacy Association, Walgreens, FSHP, Interamerican Pharmacists Association, Baptist Medical Center, Dade County Pharmacy Association, Dr. Angela Garcia, 2018-2019 FPA president, and Publix Pharmacy.

In order to provide a health fair at the Capitol, we depend on the donations and contributions of our members and supporters and extend our thanks in allowing us to continue to provide this event annually.

This unique opportunity to provide care to members of the legislature and community in Tallahassee as well as to other people across the state by lobbying and advocating at the Capitol is something not all students or pharmacists have

done in their careers or while in school. We use the students in several capacities, including for registration, as navigators (personal attendants for participants to access each point of care service) and in point of care testing in cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose and obesity/BMI. This year, we re-

duced our stations but enhanced the level of care and education provided. Dr. Garcia and her APPE student, Andres Brito, developed a new poster series that matched our point of care testing stations, “Return on Investment when a Pharmacist Manages ‌,â€? and focused on the same four disease states, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome/obesity.

The poster series provided education to the participants on the terms, burden of disease, incidence and prevalence across the U.S. and Florida, impact on various populations and how pharmacists and pharmacy services affect the finances and quality of life of patients and the health-care system in profound ways.

During the health fair, our students and pharmacists demonstrate the enhanced clinical skills and training they have and why we fight for recognition as a billing health care provider, collaborative partner in clinical care, patient advocate and as health care businesses that increase access to care and provide preventive services and chronic disease management to those most in need. Students and schools completed training on the technical procedures as well as the education necessary to ensure health literacy was optimized by those receiving services. Their records were entered into their Passport to Health, a journal that the participants can keep or share with their pharmacist or primary care provider in their own communities.

In the Passport to Health journal, our

donors have advertisements, we have statements about the profession of pharmacy, a copy of the Oath of a Pharmacist and the Pledge of Professionalism (from the American Pharmacists Association) so the participants understand the seriousness and commitment we have in serving as healthcare providers. We include our priority legislation, so as they access services and receive education, they understand why we are fighting for our profession and that they can contact their legislators to support our legislative goals.

There are descriptions and background on the focused clinical areas, so they 12

FLORIDA PHARMACY TODAY

understand the goals, normal ranges and what can be done to help get them to the goals. Each year, we update the information so the approaches to care and information align with the current practice guidelines for each of the prioritized disease states, which demonstrates the highest levels of excellence and professionalism with regard to health care and health care outcomes.

There were almost 400 students and 29 faculty representing all seven of our pharmacy schools and colleges (University of Florida, Florida A&M, University of South Florida, Palm Beach Atlantic, LECOM, Larking and Nova Southeastern University). In addition, we had another 21 pharmacists from institutional, consulting, specialty, ambulatory, independent, consulting and retail community pharmacy practice settings. We had 137 pharmacists and student phar-

macists attend the annual Pizza and Policy Night, where we begin our conversations about the latest updates to the legislative priorities and elevate our advocacy team members from across the state. It serves as our pep rally to the legislative and health fair events and gives our students and pharmacists the opportunity to network and meet each other before embarking on one of the most important activities of their careers – advocating for the profession of pharmacy.

This year, we provided a total of 268 point of care screenings and 190 counseling sessions to 165 health fair participants. The breakdown for the point of care testing was the provision of 64 glucose, 78 cholesterol, 55 blood pressure and 71 BMI services. We provided equally high counseling and educational sessions, including 59 glucose, 78 cholesterol, 18 blood pressure and 34 BMI. Our students were enthusiastic, engaged and represented excellent care for those who attended the health

fair as participants. Very few pharmacists attend the Health Fair and Legislative Days and our students typically outnumber them 4 o4 5 to one. Students have historically led the way in demonstrating clinical pharmacy services and legislative advocacy during the event, and we are working diligently to retain these students as new practitioners who will return every year and fight to advance our profession. For those pharmacists not associated with our colleges and schools who attend the event, we humbly thank you for setting the example for the rest of the profession and being actively engaged in advocacy.

A very special thank you goes to the FPA chair of the Governmental Affairs Committee (GAC), Eric Larson, for his guidance and relentless efforts that allowed our Association to come into the legislative session with incredible passion and strong support for the priorities our independent pharmacists and pharmacy businesses are facing.

We thank our lobbying team at Ad-

ams Street Advocates for their communication and behind the scenes efforts working with our members of the GAC and our EVP Michael Jackson, to ensure our 20182019 legislative priorities made it into the legislative session. We cannot thank the FSHP leadership enough for their support and contributions to our events and for their commitment to promoting this year’s event to pharmacists and student pharmacists across the state. Our shared engagement as Association leaders and partners in advocacy, along with the liaisons from the Florida Pharmacy Coalition, provided a visible infrastructure and common ground among other key stakeholders.

We thank Dr. Early and the FAMU College of Pharmacy once again for their hospitality during our annual Pizza and Policy Night and Legislative Update CE events. Without this incredible team and all the concerted efforts, we

would no t h ave b e e n able to overcome so many barriers. WE are so much more effective at elevating our profession when WE are working with a united voice. This is how we carry out The Power of WE in advocacy.

Why Advanced Roles and Pharmacy Technician Leadership Matters

By Julie Burger

If you have been following the exciting year in pharmacy policy, you will note there have been many changes for pharmacy technicians in the past three months. So far in 2019, the Florida Board of Pharmacy has modified the language for Rule 64B16-27.4001 allowing pharmacy technicians to be indirectly supervised utilizing an unspecified method of technology, while also increasing the pharmacist to technician ratio. In January of 2019, ASHP and ACPE, the organizations responsible for accrediting pharmacy technician training programs, implemented new training standards for technician education, delineating requirements for entry-level technicians and advanced-level technicians. In March of 2019, PTCB, the first organization to provide a competency-based certification exam for pharmacy technicians, announced five new advanced certifications. These new assessment-based certificate programs will add the CPhT-Adv credential to designate this new competency. If you were not paying attention to the workforce development changes both in Florida and on the national level, you have most certainly missed quite a bit.

National organizations are paving the way for career development for pharmacy technicians. Pharmacy technicians are currently the only allied health profession without mandatory national standards for support staff preparation. The length of education also differs greatly.

FLORIDA PHARMACY TODAY

The outcomes-based evidence shows that patient safety is not compromised with qualified and appropriately trained support staff. Elevating the entire pharmacy profession allows pharmacists to practice to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Appropriately trained and credentialed support staff are needed in order for this to efficiently take place.

It is clear that progress needs to be made in the state of Florida to ensure patient safety is maintained. The career ladder, sometimes referred to as a “career lattice� because of the often lateral advancement opportunities, is important to retaining passionate and qualified pharmacy technicians. Requiring a competency-based exam and certifications will identify committed and qualified technician leaders in your workforce. These technicians know what is needed to assist the pharmacists every day, and they are an important piece of your business. Identify the leaders in your place of business and support their advancement.

In addition to the professional accrediting body standards, programs in Florida that fall under the Department of Education accreditation standard also must follow the Framework.

129th Annual Meeting and Convention JULY 10–14, 2019 Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa Fort Lauderdale, FL

Keynote Speaker Norman “Hoot� Hooten Dr. Hooten is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army. He has more than 20 years of experience training military special operations and law enforcement personnel and 14 years of experience in Counter-Terrorism operations while serving in the U.S. Army Delta Force. Dr. Hooten has a distinguished service history in joint, combined, interagency and international operations. He was a key contributor to the success of Operation Just Cause in Panama as well as operations in Lebanon, the Balkans, and Operation Restore Hope in Mogadishu, Somalia. As a DELTA Force Assault Team Leader in Somalia he and his teammates played a critical role in the rescue and recovery of the crew members of the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed on October 3rd, 1993. The incident was later the subject of the feature film known as

Black Hawk Down.

In August of 2001, Dr. Hooten retired from active duty. He briefly attended Pharmacy School at Campbell University in Buies Creek North Carolina. On September 11th, 2001, Dr. Hooten was recalled from pharmacy school to active service in the US Army. He subsequently played a critical role in the national effort to establish aviation security protocols and served as the National Supervisory Training Coordinator for the Federal Air Marshal Service Global Response Team. In February of 2009 he assumed duties as the Deputy Director of the King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) in Amman, Jordan where he led an international team of subject matter experts in the design and development of protocols, tactics, techniques, and procedures for international counter terrorism operations. He served in this capacity for 3 years.

During his Army career, Dr. Hooten realized the impact that pharmacists could have with active duty military and Veterans; he subsequently returned to pharmacy school at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida where he graduated in 2016. Upon graduation, he completed a Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) pharmacy residency at the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center followed by a Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) psychiatric pharmacy resident at the West Palm Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Hooten has a passion for the role pharmacists can play in the management of pain and substance use disorders in Veterans and is committed to having a positive impact in this area of pharmacy practice. After completing his residency training, Dr. Hooten wished to continue to find ways to give back to the Veteran community that has given so much to our great nation. He currently practices at the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center where his primary area of interest is working with Veterans who suffer with chronic service related pain and substance abuse.

The Florida Pharmacy Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Up to 23 contact hours are available upon successful completion of attendance and evaluation from Thursday-Sunday. Statements of continuing pharmacy education credit will available for you to download and print in four weeks.
