so many people that I must thank. I remember when Eric Bandy called me up and asked me if I’d be interested in filling his vacated position. I wouldn’t have ever imagined it would turn into this moment.

But how wonderful and gratifying it has been to serve this Association, and see it develop into what it is today. And with great pharmacy leaders like Starlin and Garth, everyone participating in the PSMP program, pushing us in the direction of Provider recognition on a national level we are destined for a greater future. Since we have just entered National Pharmacist’s Month we need to come together as a profession to be recognized as the health care providers we are. Great strides are being made but we need you, now, more than ever. We need members. We need support. We need your help.

This year you will see the membership committee, chaired by Laura Licari, make some impressive gains in changing the ways we recruit and retain members. We need to engage our membership better and make sure they are kept informed. Eric started a push for PBM transparency last year and I intend to continue the fight.

We ran into roadblocks last year because of our state spending a few more hours than normal discussing a budget which prevented our message from taking hold.

We need this to happen now. With scary trends like DIR fees and claw backs and minuscule reimbursement rates, the PBM’s have a dictatorship over our profession and we are in danger of losing what little control we still have. We have heard talks this conference about Medical Homes and Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Networks; we have created the PSMP program that allows pharmacists to be coaches for patient self-care in the community setting. This all involves a community pharmacist having real, one-on-one interactions with a patient and it is all in danger if we allow the PBM’s to write us out of their contracts. We have to fight to keep our patients. To do that we need help recruiting members that will help our finances which will help our lobbying efforts which will, in turn, help our profession.

So, I ask you today: When we call, are you willing to help?

Executive Director’s Viewpoint

Our Sacred Vow

“I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal outcomes for my patients.” –

IPhA Executive Director

From the Oath of a Pharmacist

A

Garth K. Reynolds, BSPharm, RPh

December 16, 2016 Chicago Tribune entitled

care. There are additional concerns in varying parts of this machine that need to be addressed going forward.

has brought focus on the responsibility of pharmacists’ interaction with our patients and how we are communicating with them and their health care team.

As with other health care providers, pharmacists are challenged in this economic environment, due to the structure of our health care system, to uphold the fine balance of what is considered acceptable in maintaining a sustainable practice and quality patient care. All health care practices are a business in their operation and have a responsibility to provide health care services (including medications) in a safe and effective manner.

Pharmacies Miss Half of Dangerous Drug Combinations

The Chicago Tribune investigation results are disturbing and inexcusable. But the evidence presented in the investigation should not be extrapolated to be a representation of the overall practice of pharmacy. This investigation does not represent the state of pharmacy practice in the entire state or the country. IPhA has concerns about the research design utilized by the Tribune to examine the question of patient safety and the pharmacist interaction with the prescriber or the patient. The issues brought forward in the article aim the spotlight on a single gear of a much larger machine that is health

Pharmacists are health care providers and professionals that should never be: • Pressured by an operational policy or procedure; • Assumed by a payor to provide medication and/or patient care services at unreasonable or unsustainable remuneration; or ILLINOIS PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION

•

WWW.IPHA.ORG

• Expected to deliver patient care in any format or time frame that does not engender and preserve patient safety and effective treatment as the standard of care for each and every patient.

As health care providers, pharmacists should take care to manage workflow efficiency and maximize utilization of pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists. Pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists enable pharmacists to free-up a great deal of tasks that do not require the clinical expertise that must be the pharmacist’s focus in providing quality and safe patient care. It is the responsibility of all members of the pharmacy team, not just the pharmacist-in-charge, to ensure that patient safety and quality care is provided and maintained.

“Practice of Pharmacy” stipulates that pharmacists are able to provide the following, but not limited to: 7

Executive Director’s Viewpoint • Dispensing of drug orders • Participation in drug and device selection • Drug regimen review • Provide patient counseling • Provide pharmacist care • Medication Therapy Management.

According to the Pharmacy Practice Act and Rules, a patient may be offered patient counseling. Pharmacists need to take every opportunity to communicate and educate patients on their medication regimen. These communications open opportunities to provide preventative health services and to educate about health conditions.

Patient counseling may also reveal issues that could require communication with other members of patient’s health care team. Patient’s excel when all members of their health care

team are in communication with each other and ultimately the patient. Patient safety, medication education, and delivery of care services are essential to the practice of pharmacy. Pharmacists are the medication experts. We are specifically educated and trained in drug regimen analysis and medication optimization. It is a pharmacist’s responsibility and duty to educate our patients on their medication regimen and disease states. And when needed, a pharmacist is to intervene on behalf of the patient to verify with members of the health care team concerning the treatment being proposed and to offer alternatives that are in the best interest of the patient. Health care needs to be a team approach and must always be patient-centered. Pharmacists are part of the patient’s health care team. Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, and other health care

providers and professionals all participate and accept responsibility for a patient’s care and safety.

IPhA has been and will continue to be at the table for the advancement of our profession and protection of our patients. The Tribune article and others like it bring attention to the profession and is an opportunity to reflect and renew our purpose. But these articles do not replace the professional and clinical judgement and especially the patient care that is delivered by each of you every day.

Pharmacists must be committed to our patients and their safety.

This is our sacred vow and cornerstone of our relationship that we build together.

Note: This article was written prior to publication of this issue. For continued updates on this situation please stay alert for member-only communications and at ipha.org.

From The Editor

Thoughts from the field about revising the

Pharmacy Practice Act IPhA Editor

Jeffery Ellis, RPh

B

eing a chain pharmacist at a “big box” store, the game on the ground (not in the elevated offices of the MBA’s) is getting interesting. This has been a “race to the bottom” for awhile, and the stakes have just been ramped up hugely. 30% of our business is Blue Cross since CVS has lost the contract in Illinois, as far as I can tell (Reminder: staff pharmacists-out of the financial loop). The future portends mass migrations of prescriptions each January as the pharmacy-dejour changes each year. These transfers are extremely time consuming in a business where seconds count.

I understand no one cares (and I mean NO one) how much time I spend on the phone transferring prescription, but the cost of a transfer in time and money is large. But the main concern is the probability of prescription errors goes up exponentially. We have spent, and continue to spend, huge dollars on e-prescribing from doctors while we use 1950’s technology to transfer between pharmacies. We have to address this and soon. It can’t be that hard to let one pharmacy request the transfer and another pharmacy respond electronically. I am 98% sure we have the wherewithal to do it now.

Another question I have is why-oh-why do I have to put the address of the patient and the DEA number of the prescriber on the face of a controlled prescription?

It is all on the sticker on the reverse of the prescription.

And, more importantly, it is in the computer where I look up all the information the prescriber refuses to put on the prescription. (Where does anyone think I get the information?) Is it so if the computer is non functional, the state inspector can at a moment’s notice access this information? This is a lot of work for not much payoff. (And I would have much larger problems than inconveniencing a state inspector. Also, remember the sticker on the back of the hard copy?) I don’t mind work, but I do mind unnecessary Mickey Mouse work. Most importantly, how does any of this triviality help the patient? I can also see where all this redundancy could distract me enough to override interaction prompts while I try desperately to catch up on work flow. Then I end up on the front page of the Chicago Tribune!

Pushing for Health Care Profession recognition and PBM transparency and Clinical Services, etc. is all well and good and absolutely necessary. But if you want to support and attract Community Pharmacists to the IPhA we need to remember the poor working stiff at the front line and make their life easier. Then tell them multiple times in multiple ways.

Midwestern University

Midwestern University Pharmacy Student Awarded Prestigious Schweitzer Fellowship DOWNERS GROVE, IL (August 17, 2016) — Midwestern University student Jenny Lin has been selected for the nationally recognized Schweitzer Fellowship, a program for graduate students who aspire to become lifelong leaders in community service. Ms. Lin, a second-year pharmacy student at Midwestern University’s Chicago College of Pharmacy (CCP), joins 31 exceptional graduate students from Chicago-area universities who will design and implement innovative community-based projects to address the health needs of underserved Chicagoans.

For her project, Ms. Lin will work with the Midwest Asian Health Association center in Chicago’s Chinatown neighborhood to improve the participants’ physical and mental well-beings through a series of exercise and educational sessions focused on disease prevention and healthy lifestyle modifications.

“Many members of the Chinese American immigrant population of Chicago’s Chinatown district work long hours as cooks, servers, or as seamstresses,

trying to make ends meet with little time dedicated towards a healthy diet and exercise. My project will seek to educate this growing Asian community on the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle through exercise and dietary changes,” Ms. Lin said.

Named in honor of humanitarian and Nobel laureate Albert Schweitzer, the Chicago Area Schweitzer Fellows Program encourages students to “make their lives their argument” by helping address unmet health needs among vulnerable Chicago residents.

In collaboration with existing clinics, schools, social service agencies, and other community organizations, each Schweitzer Fellow provides 200 hours of direct service, separate from and in addition to their already demanding academic and clinical requirements.

As a new Schweitzer Fellow, Ms. Lin joins the more than 550 Chicago program alumni who have provided over 110,000 hours of community service over the course of the program’s 20-year history.

Pharmacist’s Role in the Opioid/ Heroin Crisis Act Sara Gubala, PharmD Candidate 2018 • University of Illinois at Chicago, Rockford Campus

he opioid and heroin crisis is a public health issue affecting all communities at every level.

Village law enforcement, families, treatment centers, first responders, physicians and pharmacists play an integrated role in combatting this crisis. This multifront approach was catalyzed from a fundamental change in social perception, acceptance and awareness that addiction is a true disease and these individuals need support from multiple divisions within our communities.

The Illinois Pharmacists Association (IPhA) has actively participated in task forces that have been established statewide to combat the heroin/ opioid crisis. As the IPhA Summer Intern, I have had the opportunity to work with task forces in Lake County, Chicago, and Southern IL. Lake County and Chicago’s task forces were much more advanced in regards to planning, finances and resources. While Southern IL was turning away patients due to lack of treatment beds, Lake County was trying to reach more patients to go through their underutilized “A Way Out” program.

Unfortunately, heroin and opioid use affects every community throughout the state and rural areas in Illinois are in dire need of support.

Pharmacists play many roles in combatting the opioid/ heroin crisis. The utilization of the Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program (ILPMP) and patient interactions place pharmacists at the front line in identifying those with a pattern of addiction, drug misuse and abuse.

Unfortunately, not many pharmacists know the next step to take in giving their patients the help they need. This is where collaboration between the patient’s physician, treatment centers, and communities is crucial.

While the unity of different organizations and members of the community is inspiring, there is a still an important piece of the puzzle that remains underrepresented. Past and present heroin/opioid users offer a unique and important perspective that is underutilized to understand how opioid and heroin use begins, factors that cause relapse, and the most effective treatment options. It is wonderful that there is so much support available for users, but there needs to be a way to connect with them so can they receive the help they need.

In addition to identifying those with addiction, pharmacists are an important asset in expanding access to opioid antagonists. Recent legislation has allowed trained pharmacists to provide naloxone to anyone who may benefits family members of someone at risk of overdose, first responders, individuals at risk of overdose and trained school nurses. Unfortunately, due to high acquisition costs, many pharmacies are neither stocking the medication nor taking the time to get pharmacists trained if they haven’t seen a demand thus far. Getting information out to the public is a critical step in addressing this problem and, ultimately, saving lives. The expansion of naloxone administration has undoubtedly proven beneficial; however, there is still a need to develop protocols for handling patients saved by naloxone.

14

ILLINOIS PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION

The current crisis needs support at every level: community, education, law enforcement, treatment, prescribing, dispensing, etc. Pharmacists are an integral part in combatting the opioid/heroin crisis as they are uniquely situated to help support those with addiction and aid in dispensing naloxone. Each task force meeting I attend, I am continually inspired me to see how involved communities are in combatting this crisis and regardless of barriers, they remain optimistic and hopeful.

VOL. 79 - NO. 2 (2nd/3rd/4th QTR 2016)

Monday, August 29th, 2016 Dear Foundation Board: I cannot begin to express my gratitude for sponsoring my summer internship with the Illinois Pharmacists Association. The opportunity to work with IPhA has been truly rewarding. This internship has allowed me to experience the never ending work IPhA does to further the quality of patients’ healthcare and expand the role of pharmacists within the medical communities they serve. I am honored that I was able to assist an association whose passion knows no bounds. As a future pharmacist, it was inspiring to witness firsthand the underappreciated support that drives our profession.

Throughout my internship, I was able to attend House and Senate meetings for pharmacy related legislation as well as participate in research and education of important bills. I personally witnessed the support IPhA offers to individuals and communities through attending local and statewide meetings such as the Chicago, Lake County, and Southern Illinois Opioid Task Forces. I was also fortunate enough to attend the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) Annual Conference in San Diego and network with other healthcare professionals who share the same passion for patient care. This internship has helped me develop invaluable skills to assist my career. In addition to the extraordinary networking experiences, I have developed lasting relationships with my mentors and student colleagues.

Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity to spend my summer with IPhA. As president of my school’s IPhA chapter, I will be bringing back the same inspiration and advocacy for pharmacy that I learned this summer. I will without doubt continue to remain active within IPhA and will always be ready to support the association that helped foster my passion for pharmacy.

Please extend my appreciation and gratitude to the entire IPhA team.

Sincerely, Sara Gubala PharmD Candidate 2018 University of Illinois at Chicago Rockford IPhA Summer Intern 2016

Applications for the 2017 IPhA Summer Internship in Association management are still being accepted until March 31st.

t. Louis College of Pharmacy and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa partner to carve a new path for pharmacy technicians across Southern Africa. Together, the institutions have just published “The Southern African Pharmacy Technician Training Manual.”

It is the first manual designed specifically for English-speaking pharmacy technicians in the region.

Need for Materials “Previously, we had to use textbooks from Europe or North America that were not specific to the African context,” said ShirleyAnne Boschmans, Ph.D., co-author and head of the Department of Pharmacy at NMMU. “This manual focuses on technicians’ basic job responsibilities and is designed to be flexible.”

Faculty and students from the College have travelled to NMMU and Southern Africa numerous times during their three-year partnership. Faculty from NMMU have visited St. Louis as well.

That face-to-face interaction with educators and patients is invaluable according to Ken Schafermeyer, Ph.D., professor of pharmacy administration and director of international programs at the College.

22

“Pharmacy technicians are an excellent resource in publicsector hospitals and primary care clinics, where they might be the only pharmacy personnel to manage medication distribution,.”

Schafermeyer said.

Southern Africa. It’s the highest concentration of patients in the world. As a result, there is a dire need for pharmacy personnel to provide basic services like medication distribution.

Authors of the manual

The partnership with NMMU was funded through a grant from the American International Health Alliance. Funds come from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the President’s Emergency Planning for AIDS Relief.

The manual features intensive instruction on medications to help patients with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Other topics include pharmacy calculations, basic pharmacology, compounding and patient communication. The manual is accompanied by an instructor’s guide, co-authored by Stephanie Lukas, Pharm.D., M.P.H., assistant director of international programs at the College, that provides suggested exercises, assignments and discussion questions.

“This book can be used as a learning tool for pharmacy technicians as part of a universitylevel course or as part of an onthe-job training program,” said Teri-Lynne Fogarty, M.Pharm., coauthor, lecturer and coordinator of the Pharmacy Technician program at NMMU. Estimates vary widely, but many believe there are more than 17 million patients living with HIV or AIDS in Eastern and

The manual is published by Pharmacy Administration Consultants, LLC and based on a text written by Schafermeyer.

Publication rights for adaptation of the U.S. text to the South African context were generously provided by Ascend Learning and Jones and Bartlett Learning of Burlington, Massachusetts. As a community service, the manual is available to students, educators and organizations at cost.

About St. Louis College of Pharmacy For more than 150 years, St. Louis College of Pharmacy has been committed to educating the best pharmacists in the United States.

Teaching Safe Medication Use Extensive Public Health Campaign Planned (ST. LOUIS) — An estimated 1.6 billion prescription medication pills, more than 40 percent of all prescribed medication, sit unused in American homes. To help clear out cabinets and cupboards in the St. Louis area, St. Louis College of Pharmacy is launching a public health campaign to teach the importance of safe medication use and disposal.

“This is the largest, most comprehensive community-based education effort on medication disposal I have ever been involved with,” said Amy Tiemeier, Pharm.D., BCPS, associate professor of pharmacy practice and director of community partnerships at St. Louis College of Pharmacy. “Unused medication should not be left sitting around the house. Medication can weaken over time, lose effectiveness and prevent you from reaching your health goals. It also could be the target for thieves.”

The College will utilize a nearly $25,000 grant from the Cardinal Health Foundation to establish and implement three impactful programs.

24

Educating Children and Families The College will sponsor a coloring and video contest centering on themes of safe medication use, storage and disposal in the Parkway and Rockwood School Districts.

In each district, the top prize for the video contest will be $500.

Coloring contest winners will also be awarded a cash prize.

In addition, Tiemeier and pharmacy students at the College will meet with interested parent, religious or community groups in the districts.

“When we’re talking to parents, we’ll bring up issues surrounding the power of medicines and signs of potential abuse,” Tiemeier said.

“My goal is to inspire dinner table conversations in homes across the region about these important issues.”

ILLINOIS PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION

Meeting organizers can contact Tiemeier directly to schedule a presentation.

Safe Disposal Another critical component to the outreach includes reaching thousands of Schnucks pharmacy customers. Beginning in November, patients filling a prescription at one of 10 Schnucks pharmacies will also be handed information about the nearest secure medication disposal location.

“Patients often keep unused opioid pain medication in their home,” Tiemeier explains. “These are especially dangerous because they could poison children or be stolen. Informing patients about convenient, environmentally responsible disposal options is a key part of the larger effort to combat abuse and misuse of medications in the community.”

Bringing Together Groups Partners in the effort also include the Alliance for Healthy Communities, Community Resources United to Stop Heroin (CRUSH), the Drug Enforcement

VOL. 79 - NO. 2 (2nd/3rd/4th QTR 2016)

Administration-St. Louis Division (DEA), Missouri Prescription Pill and Drug Disposal Program (MO P2D2), Rockwood DrugFree Coalition and the Saint Louis Science Center.

“We’re excited to continue the College’s rich history of bringing together a wide variety organizations with the shared goal of improving health care,” Tiemeier said. “There is no way our efforts could be as extensive as they are without Cardinal Health Foundation’s generous support.”

Since 2009, the Cardinal Health Foundation has invested more than $5 million in partnerships and grants across the country to raise

awareness and knowledge about the dangers of prescription medication misuse through the Generation Rx program.

“On behalf of Cardinal Health, we are pleased to support the work at St. Louis College of Pharmacy,” said Betsy Walker, community relations director at Cardinal Health and Generation Rx program manager.

The coloring and video contest, along with parent outreach meetings, will be held during the 2016–2017 school year.

&THE LAW

This series, Pharmacy and the Law, is presented by Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company and the Illinois Pharmacists Association through Pharmacy Marketing Group, Inc., a company dedicated to providing quality products and services to the pharmacy community.

The Learned Intermediary Doctrine

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

I

t is almost impossible to attend a pharmacy law conference and not have a discussion about the Learned Intermediary Doctrine. The Doctrine was first expressed in a lawsuit against a drug manufacturer in 1966.

The Doctrine states that a drug manufacturer has no duty to warn a patient about the risks of a drug. The manufacturer’s duty is fulfilled by informing the prescriber (the “Learned Intermediary”) of the drugs risks and benefits. The prescriber then has the responsibility of choosing the appropriate therapy because the prescriber has knowledge of the patient’s medical condition.

Through the years, the Learned Intermediary Doctrine was expanded to include pharmacists.

This was done through court decisions, by statute, or other procedural means. Specifically, courts held that pharmacists had no duty to warn patients of the risks of a particular drug. The Learned Intermediary Doctrine put that responsibility on the physician.

There was fear that the pharmacist would somehow interfere in the physician-patient relationship.

Under the Doctrine, the pharmacist 26

discharged their duty by correctly filling the physician’s prescription for the patient.

profession is headed. We are trying to become more involved in patient care, not less.

As the different states have looked at the Learned Intermediary Doctrine, they have taken different approaches to it; some adopted it, some rejected it, and some created exceptions to it. And as things usually go in the law, the different states didn’t agree on the exceptions. So what is a practicing pharmacist supposed to do?

At these same conferences, there are also many discussions about gaining provider status. How can pharmacists make a case to be considered health care providers and hide behind the Learned Intermediary Doctrine at the same time? Cases rejecting the Learned Intermediary Doctrine state that pharmacists are not merely orderfillers and want to discourage robotic compliance with the physician’s order.

This is where I give you a different answer depending on whether I’m wearing my lawyer hat or my pharmacist hat. A common exception to the Learned Intermediary Doctrine in states that have adopted it is situations where the pharmacist has specific information about the patient’s condition (e.g., she is pregnant or he is allergic to penicillin).

My advice as a lawyer in these situations would be to advise my pharmacist clients to know as little about their patients as possible.

That way you can fall under the protection of the Learned Intermediary Doctrine. As a pharmacist, this advice is contrary to the direction that the pharmacy

So what is the pharmacist to do? Relying on the Learned Intermediary Doctrine is not necessarily a good strategy. The courts have not consistently applied the Learned Intermediary Doctrine. My review of cases leads me to conclude that courts really don’t understand what pharmacists can and are supposed to do.

For example, one case reached the right answer for the wrong reason. There are exceptions to it and you don’t want your case to be the one in which the court creates another exception. Many of the cases were decided before

VOL. 79 - NO. 2 (2nd/3rd/4th QTR 2016)

OBRA ’90 and its resulting regulations were implemented.

Few discussions today talk about OBRA’s impact on the Learned Intermediary Doctrine, but I believe that it is underestimated. It is beyond the scope of this article to recite a detailed history of these decisions. Suffice it to say that relying on the Doctrine is a risky strategy because it is too difficult to predict the court’s outcome.

The better option is for the pharmacists to use their training, experience, and

expertise for the benefit of the patient. Protecting patients from harm is a strategy within the pharmacist’s control. Intervene when you see something that raises a red flag. Protecting your patients ultimately protects you. Additionally, utilizing our expertise and making a positive impact on patient outcomes is a more persuasive way of convincing payers, patients, and regulators that pharmacists are a vital part of the health care team.

Her work with the IPhA PSMP program has contributed to the success of her patients in the management of Sarah Brockhouse pre-diabetes, diabetes and cardiovascular conditions and achieving their overall health goals. Her dedication to her patients and her community is seen through her work to improve patient care in her positions at Sarah D.

She continually collaborates with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide information and assistance on the use of medications for maximum therapeutic outcomes. Her positive communication skills benefit not only her patient’s understanding of how to manage their medical conditions, but also her ability to work collaboratively with other involved medical professions to ensure maximum patient health achievements.

With the training and support of the PSMP program, she has expanded her clinical scope in order to have a direct positive impact on the quality of life of her patients. Under her guidance, patients that may have started out skeptical and with very low health literacy have become empowered to be active participants in their healthcare and she has helped them to set and achieve their own healthcare goals.
