How does it feel to be torn between two vastly different worlds: the one you were born to, and the one you fled to and eventually thrived in? What does it mean to become an American?  Trading Grenades for Candy is a memoir of a Kurdish woman who fled war and turmoil in Iraqi Kurdistan as a young child and transformed herself into a quintessential American success story. Hers is a richly expressed and deeply personal journey from barely surviving in a mud house amidst landmines, to evolving into an independent, world-traveling pharmacist. By understanding her personal story of hardship and perseverance, readers will come to understand not only her personal triumph, but the wider story of the Kurdish people. This memoir will change the way one looks at what it means not only to be an American, but a fellow human being in our diverse world.  This special edition of 'Transforming a Nation' is with Dr. Helen Sairany, PharmD., author of Trading Grenades for Candy: A Kurdish Refugee's American Journey Learn more about your ad choices.

Optimal medication use is multi-faceted in its dependencies on regimens, prescribing physicians, clinical oversight by pharmacists and behavior of individuals; and suboptimal medication use is broad and far-reaching in clinical, quality of life and economic consequences.  Suboptimal use of medications is not only prevalent and consequential, but also represents a significant portion of the aggregate risk for poor events in a population that can be reduced through intervention and proper application of patient supports. This is an environmental scan of the existing aids and devices along with synchronization strategies intended to support optimal medication use.  To date, multiple but disparate approaches to influence and achieve optimal medication use have been deployed. They lack unifying modalities and interventions that can be applied broadly. We have used this analysis to bring forth a roadmap for a best in class solution that connects healthcare to the home, with access that extends into the daily lives of patients, creating a passive omnipresence and connectedness with healthcare team members and family caregivers. https://spencerhealthsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Fulfilling-the-Promise-of-Medications.pdf?utm_campaign=Thought%20Leadership%20-%20External&utm_content=203395111&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-1097123424395292673  Learn more about your ad choices.

We believe that local independent community pharmacy has a much wider role to play in future home-care. Historically, pharmacists have not been included on home care teams, despite the fact that home care patients require more pharmacy care services and frequently experience medication errors. There’s an opportunity for Community Pharmacies to deliver more in-home care services. LTC pharmacies are compensated for services which many community pharmacies provide to their home-bound patient base. The optimal service delivery model of community pharmacies and distribution of additional clinical care for home care is a prime opportunity.  Special thanks to our episode sponsor RxSafe, leaders in Medication Adherence packaging & partners of Independent Community Pharmacy.  Guests:  Ronna Hauser, PharmD SVP Policy & Pharmacy Affairs at NCPA Susan Rhodus, BS Pharm  Senior Vice President, Contracts and Advocacy at GeriMed Joe Williams, PharmD Owner at Brisson Drugs References:  https://ncpa.org/medical-home-mah  Learn more about your ad choices.

Blueberry Pharmacy is creating an entire new way to think of retail pharmacy and what Kyle McCormick, PharmD., is doing is beyond remarkable. He has gone all cash. Just think about this, no PBM’s, nor third party audits or pre-authorization hassles.  The pharmacy stocks only generics, does a super job of providing one-on-one care and his patients love it, and tell their friends. In this podcast Kyle tells Bruce Kneeland, and co-host Robyn Amberg, how he got started along with the rationale for how and why it works. I think you’ll love listening to the story of how a true pharmacy pioneer has taken off on a new path.  Learn more about your ad choices.
