President’s Perspective Pharmacists ARE moving forward in the healthcare world. But, for pharmacists to continue to move forward we MUST work to preserve our access to these patients. Prescription Benefit Managers have control of most of these patients and limit our pharmacist’s ability to touch these patients lives. PBMs take patients away through outsourced MTMs, mail-order and by forcing our pharmacists to be Prior Approval experts instead of spending this time with the patients.

These processes, among others, affect the opportunity for pharmacists to provide the services needed by our patients. IT IS TIME FOR PBM REFORM IN ILLINOIS! Other states have lead the way and now we MUST follow that path. Restricting the way PBMs practice in Illinois will be another great step in keeping our local pharmacists access to their patients.

I will do everything in my power to help move PBM reform legislation. President-Elect Ben Calcaterra and I want to pass this legislation, but we need your help.

IPhA needs Members and support to continue to protect Pharmacists and push the profession forward. There has been apathy nation-wide towards being members of professional associations and now we must reverse that apathy.

IPhA President Eric Bandy, RPh

As I

prepared for this next step in my life, I reviewed where I have been over the last 17 years as a pharmacist.

I am challenging each member in the association to find three NEW members in the next year. We as members must show our non-member colleagues the EXTREME importance that IPhA plays in their careers. Without IPhA pushing legislation, Pharmacists careers may drastically change.

Of course the profession has changed drastically just as any other profession has over that time frame. There are so many great steps like starting immunizations in pharmacies, medication therapy management and pharmacists heading towards Provider Status so the profession can get reimbursed for cognitive services.

As Pharmacists we CHANGE patient’s lives, we CREATE healthier communities and we SAVE millions of healthcare dollars when we are allowed time and access to these patient’s lives. Let’s push our colleagues so that IPhA can preserve and advance all Pharmacist’s careers for years to come.

Executive Director’s Viewpoint No Budget, Still New Laws regulators, and stakeholders to minimize the impact on your practice and to advance the quality of patient care you deliver.

IPhA monitored and negoitated over 150 seperate pieces of legislation and regulatory changes that effect your everyday practice.

IPhA Executive Director Garth Reynolds, RPh Thank you to everyone who attended the 2015 Illinois Pharmacists Annual Conference in Lombard and making it such a great success. This success was due to the hardwork and support of our sponsors, speakers, committees, and staff. The 2015 Annual Conference had a variety of first-rate educational sessions and programming. Please mark your calendars for the 2016 Illinois Pharmacists Annual Conference at the Bloomington-Normal Marriot Hotel and Conference Center, September 29th-October 2nd, 2016.

Illinois continues to be without a budget, and with no resolution in sight. It may be a real possibility that we could end 2015 without a budget in place. It is estimated that about 90% of the state budget is in effect (at FY2015 revenue levels) and that is only possible through consent decrees and court rulings (this includes all payments to pharmacy providers for Medicaid and the State Employee Prescritpion Program). Our leaders in the General Assembly and the Governor’s office must dedicate themselves to compromising on a fiscally responsible budget and strategy that enables the State to reimbursement pharmacists and all health care providers adequately and promptly for the patient care services delivered.

2015 saw well over 6,500 bills introduced. IPhA proudly represented you and worked with legislators, PAGE 6

is a great innovative thinker when it comes to moving the profession in the right direction. He is an active participant on IPhA committees, including the Legislative and Regulatory Affairs Committee and serves on boards for local assisted living centers where he advocates for patient safety. He performs medication reconciliation on his patients when they are discharged from a hospital and return to his care in the outpatient setting. When he finds problems (which he often does) he contacts the facility & physicians involved until the med list is correct. He serves on fall committees at local facilities and looks for opportunities to minimize risk with the physicians and caregivers. He is known for his exemplary drug information for patients and practitioners who rely on his knowledge and expertise. He is board certified in pharmacotherapy and certified in geriatrics. At his practice site, he is also actively performing MTM and compounding services. His goal is to move pharmacists away from the product and more to the patient. To this point, he also tells people that he hopes they walk into his pharmacy some day and see no drug product on the shelf but showing his true commitment to having direct patient care responsibilities. He cares about his patient because they are HIS patients.

IPHA FOUNDATION LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD (IPhA Past President) & IPhA Chairman of the Board Mickie Brunner) Sister Margaret Wright, RSM, PhD, RPh celebrated her 50th Jubilee as a Sister of Mercy in 2003.

Sister Margaret has pursued lifelong learning. A 53-year veteran of the profession and an active registered Illinois pharmacist, she is impeccably educated, well-credentialed and widely lauded. Sister Margaret received a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from Creighton in 1962; a Master of Science in Pharmacy Administration from the University of Colorado in 1971 and her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998. From hospital staff pharmacist, to director of pharmacy services, to chair of the Illinois State Board of Pharmacy, her career path indicates competence, diligence and professionalism. Pharmacy has been the vehicle that allowed Sister to be a servant leader who displays qualities of love, mercy and charity for those who rely on her. Joyfulness is central to her character. Sister Margaret bears the unmistakable influence of her Jesuit education. For nearly five decades, she has championed the quality of life of the people of Illinois and has promoted health care as a basic right. Using ethical and moral principles to solve problems, Sister Margaret follows what is right, not what is expedient. She has often addressed formidable business and political interests to assure public protection and safety for all. She has worked relentlessly for the common good, mentoring many along the way. Even now as a consultant, she continues to challenge the powerful to care for those in need, and to do right for all concerned.

Over the course of her professional career, Sister served as Director of Pharmacy Services for Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois for twenty four (24) years. Among her contributions to enhanced patient care at Mercy, she expanded clinical services utilizing collaborative systems with other patient care services, initiated in-service education, and established a drug information service. She collaborated with the University of Illinois-College of Pharmacy in its preceptor program for students.

She served as a member of the Illinois State Board of Pharmacy for seventeen years, thirteen years of which she served as Board Chair. She became an active participant in the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, collaborating with members of State Boards across the country and serving in a leadership role on a state and federal level regarding regulatory and professional issues. During her tenure as Board Chair, she was instrumental in establishing the Illinois Pharmacists Recovery Program through a coalition of regulators, educators and practitioners to serve impaired professionals. Throughout her career, Sister Margaret has been recognized as a leader in the profession for her practice and service. She has been active in local, state and national profes-

When the Reynolds and Hospira companies began their expansion into other states, Mary Butcher (who is licensed in 7 states) was there by IPhA’s

side assisting in the complicated enrollment and communication process with their enrolled employees in the Wisconsin area. Mary meets with her participants on site at the employer plants sites, at the participants’ home and uses our telehealth option. Mary is an inspiration to all independent consulting pharmacists who seek chronic disease management practices like IPhA PSMP’s Taking Control of Your Health- pre-diabetes and diabetes programs. A leader in every way, her sincere commitment to representing her patients; her personable, positive, and encouraging style; and her ability to create an atmosphere of trust has strengthened TCOYH as we expand outside of Illinois.

From the Editor We need MEMBERS!

IPhA Editor Jefftry Ellis, RPh Part of being a professional is participating in a professional organization. You all know the professional organization I am promoting. The Illinois Pharmacist Organization! Being a member of the national organizations is all well and good (and necessary) but the real work that affects us all is done at the state and local level. I have mentioned this before, but it is worth repeating. The public has only a sketchy idea of what we do for them. Heck, other health care professionals only have a vague idea of what we do. In the current environment, we pharmacists have an unclear idea of what other pharmacists are doing! So to expect Legislators, as well meaning and altruistic as the vast majority are, to understand and act appropriately on pharmacy issues without input from a pharmacy organization is unrealistic and dangerous. If the Illinois Pharmacist Association wasn’t there to explain and champion pharmacists interests, who would? The chains? The drug manufacturers? Consumer Interest groups? (yikes!)

Why am I tediously droning on about this? At the Association Meeting (just concluded as I write this) one of the many enlightening presentations was entitled “Moving from Counting to Caring: Ambulatory Care Practice Panel”. (It was way more interesting than the title suggests. Pharmacy needs to work on its labels).

One of the presentation slides stuck with me. It showed PAGE 22

where pharmacy is per payment. Fee For Service is decreasing and “Value Based Purchasing”-VBP (I am postulating that basically means “fee for service”) is increasing. The slide (#33 of the presentation) indicates we are at the crossroads where VBP is taking over from FFS. Maybe that is optimistic, but the point is still made. We are in the crosshairs of a major change in pharmacy and like being the crosshairs on a target, it is not a fun place to live. We are expected to exercise the old practice model that pays the bills for now, and expand into the new practice model that does not.

Some would argue with that last statement and those are the people involved with the IPhA. That is a big reason we all need to be a member of the IPhA. IPhA is leading the charge for this change which I believe is the only way the profession will prosper.

But the number of pharmacists who are members of IPhA in Illinois is distressingly low. Less than 10% of the Registered Pharmacists in Illinois are members of the IPhA. Come on! The upside (look at the bright side!) is that pharmacist working next to you or down the street is most likely not a member and is ripe for recruiting. There are discounts for becoming a member if you have been out of school (decreasing discounts from 1-4 years out). Remember, this salary you are making is not a God-given right. It can be taken away at any time.

But the point is we need members! And now! Ask that pharmacist next to you or down the street from you to join the IPhA! Change is happening and without full participation from the whole pharmacy community, this change will happen to you instead of with you.

Recruit now!

Pharmacists Provide Care Jessica Kerwin, PharmD LEADERSHIP

I want

to begin by thanking the Illinois Pharmacists Association Foundation for naming me the 20142015 recipient of the Alan Granat Memorial Award and Scholarship. It is such a special honor to be recognized by a group of people that I consider my second family. I am humbled by the support and mentorship I have received throughout the entire time I have been involved with this fantastic organization.

I am grateful for the Illinois Pharmacists Association and the Foundation for continuing to be the voice for pharmacy in Illinois.

Pharmacy has certainly experienced many changes in the relatively short period of time since I have been actively involved in the profession, and an even more tremendous advancement is seen when comparing one generation of pharmacists with the next. Pharmacists are no longer simply putting tablets and capsules into amber bottles and sending patients on their way. Pharmacists provide care.

Teams of medical doctors turn to pharmacists to be the medication experts for hospitalized patients. Patients rely on pharmacists for comprehensive medication reviews in order to help them optimize their disease state management. The health care system depends on pharmacists to improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs. This shift from dispenser to provider means that pharmacists’ skills need to evolve to meet the needs of our patients and to secure our position as an indispensible part of the health care team.

PAGE 24

Being a leader in the profession of pharmacy can take on many forms.

Although there are several opportunities for traditional, appointed leadership roles in pharmacy, there are endless occasions to lead through actions alone.

A staff pharmacist may lead a team of technicians to make changes in order to improve patient satisfaction scores. A student pharmacist may encourage peers to attend their first pharmacy conference and perfect their networking skills. A seasoned pharmacist may mentor a new practitioner as they transition from a student to a pharmacist. Each of these examples advance the profession of pharmacy through leadership, whether or not these people were appointed to their leadership role. As the profession of pharmacy continues to evolve, it is important for pharmacists to seek out opportunities to be leaders at their practice sites and in their career. This gives the leader the ability to pass on expertise and knowledge to others in the profession, as well as the opportunity to develop their own skills to ultimately drive the profession forward.

ADVOCACY Pharmacists are considered one of the most accessible medical professionals.

At any hour of the day, patients can speak directly with a pharmacist and receive advice and recommendations regarding their medical concerns. Still, pharmacists are not nationally recognized health care providers. Provider status is a hot topic in pharmacy right now, but it will not become a reality unless we all come together as advocates for our profession.

Advocacy is especially important in the pharmacy community because of its relatively small size and lack of financial resources as compared to other health

ILLINOIS PHARMACIST (OCT/NOV/DEC 2015 - VOL. 77-NO. 4)

care professions. It is not possible to sit back and hope someone else in the profession speaks out about an issue and fights for change. To make a difference, we all must work together toward a common goal. As pharmacists gain more and more clinical responsibilities, legislation will be initiated to limit our scope and offset our progress. In a rapidly changing profession, advocacy is essential to keep the momentum going in the right direction.

VERSATILITY As our profession continues to expand and present new opportunities for pharmacists, we will have to be prepared to take on responsibilities outside of our comfort zones. Just a decade ago, it was unheard of to receive a vaccination from a pharmacist, but it is now one of the most common ways that patients receive immunizations. Without the versatility of those pharmacists to take on a new challenge and learn a new skill, the profession of pharmacy would not have advanced to a key player in the administration of immunizations.

These advancements and opportunities for growth in the profession will keep presenting themselves and we have to be ready to take them head-on.

Pharmacy is a rapidly changing profession. In just a few decades, pharmacists have transitioned from a dispensing role to patient-centered medication experts.

To keep the movement going, pharmacists will need to strive for excellence in leadership, advocacy, and versatility. Only after perfecting these skills will we be able to create the solid foundation necessary to carry our profession toward recognition as health care providers and beyond.

Delivering the Prescription

By Don. R. McGuire Jr., R.Ph., J.D.

A lot has been written about quality processes in the dispensing function and many good ideas are out there; the Two Dosage Unit rule, shelf talkers, NDC checks, etc.

But one thing that isn’t often talked about is getting the right prescription to the right patient. All of the safety and quality processes go for naught if the prescription is given to the incorrect patient. Consider these two examples.

Tom Smith comes into Anytown Pharmacy to pick up his wife’s prescription. In the will-call bin with her prescription was also one for Ron Smith. The technician thought Tom had said Ron and assumed that the second prescription was his. She gave Tom both prescriptions. The error was discovered when Tom returned home.

Paul was making a delivery for City Pharmacy one afternoon and pulled into a driveway shared by 101 and 103 Main Street. Mary was standing in the driveway. “You got here just in time; I’m headed out for my doctor’s appointment.”

Paul ignored his normal protocol at the insistence of the patient. He gave the prescriptions to Mary who left for her appointment. Paul discovered later that the prescriptions were for a patient who lived at 103, but Mary lived at 101.

Many times pharmacists don’t think about the actual handoff to patients. They would be surprised to learn what happens at the delivery point. For example; patients step forward when someone else’s name is called, patients or staff hear names incorrectly, patients with the same or similar names appear at the pharmacy at the same time, or patients in the same extended family with the same name utilize the same pharmacy. Unfortunately, claims history tells us that these patients are very likely to take the medications that they go home with or get delivered to them. This occurs even when their name isn’t on the label, they have never heard of the drug or their own doctor’s name is not on the prescription. Also unfortunately, juries are less inclined to place blame on the patient for these sorts of mishaps. Fair or not, the responsibility falls on the pharmacy to get the right medication to the right patient. A number of solutions are available.

PAGE 26

Previous articles have extolled the value, to both the patient and the pharmacist, of patient counseling. This article won’t repeat all of those benefits, but patient counseling is an effective tool to discover errors at the time of delivery.

But patient counseling is not always needed or required, so we need other tools. Asking the patient to produce identification and requiring the staff to review prior to handing over the medications is one method. Others have asked the patient for a second identifier to differentiate patients with similar names; address, phone number or social security number. This has to be done as discreetly as possible to protect the patient’s privacy. It is also helpful to ask additional questions of persons picking up others’ prescriptions; what is their relationship to the patient or ask some of the secondary identifiers above. Delivery drivers should never deviate from their protocols and should verify the address and identity of the patient when delivering medications. Date, time and to whom the medications were delivered should all be documented.

Most of the time, delivery to the patient is not a problem, so little attention is paid to it. But, ignoring this step of the dispensing process creates a weak point in the pharmacy’s overall quality initiative. History shows us that patients will take whatever medication is given to them, even when it makes no rational sense to do so. It is essential that this final step in the dispensing process gets the same attention as other steps in the process. Once the medication is in the wrong hands, it is impossible to predict the outcome.

APhA-ASP Campus Update

Although, a majority of P2s were on break from classes this summer, APhA-ASP members of the Roosevelt University College of Pharmacy remained active and participated in community service events and patient care projects (PCPs). During the summer, two PCPs were held at Trinity Charities Food Pantry, where APhA-ASP members performed blood pressure screenings and provided education to more than thirty patients. In addition to the Trinity Charities PCP event, a Heart Healthy Kids event was held over the summer break. During the new student orientation, the APhA-ASP chapter president gave a presentation on professionalism and its importance as future pharmacists. In preparation for the upcoming school year, two APhA-ASP Executive Board meetings were held, where plans for fundraising and events were discussed. Topics of discussion included starting an APhA-ASP Chapter newsletter, future PCPs, plan for the Membership Drive, plans for social and fundraising events, plans for American Pharmacists Month in October, and registration and promotion plans for the upcoming Midyear Regional Meeting.

APhA-ASP PCP chairs did not waste time in giving current and potential new members an opportunity to get involved at the start of the new school year. APhA-ASP chapter members participated in a local American Heart Association Walk that was held on the first weekend of the new term. So far this term, our chapter has successfully promoted multiple fundraisers and held a Membership Drive with 68 students in attendance. In addition to this, APhA-ASP members attended the local IPhA meeting that was held in Lombard, IL. Our chapter looks forward to the upcoming plans for the American Pharmacist Month when we will host events such as a pill counting competition, brand generic bingo, and numerous fundraisers. Our chapter is also working toward getting a publication in the school newspaper.
