2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, but especially for healthcare workers on the front lines. Due to this, it’s more important now than ever, that pharmacy technicians practice at the very top of their license. While boards of pharmacy have traditionally limited pharmacy technician practice from performing such tasks like final product verification, administering immunizations to patients, or performing CLIA-waived point of care testing, more and more states are undergoing the process of reviewing, discussing, and in some cases changes their rules to permit properly trained technicians to perform these and other tasks. To further seize on this trend, NHA has spearheaded an initiative to bring together representatives from some of the biggest pharmacy organizations in the industry.  The initiative, The Coalition for the Advancement of Pharmacy Technician Practice, aims to work together to stay up to date with current state boards of pharmacy that are discussing this very important topic, and to engage other state boards of pharmacy to consider broadening pharmacy technician scope of practice. By bringing together retail pharmacy  giants like Albertsons Companies, Walmart, Kroger and Walgreens, along with state pharmacy associations, pharmacy academicians, and organizations such as the Pharmacy Technician Educators Council, the coalition’s collective voice and singular mission is to further expedite the spread of states allowing pharmacy technicians to do more.  This support from the industry will be key to continuing to elevate the pharmacy profession across the nation. In this episode, OnScript brings together representatives from some of the coalition’s partnering organizations to discuss the importance of expanding pharmacy technician roles and the positive impact that has been realized in those states that have already expanded pharmacy technician practice. It is fitting and timely that this discussion happen on Pharmacy Technician’s Day to show pharmacy technicians that the industry recognizes the important role they play in all pharmacies and how critical it is to advocate and be an additional voice for the technician workforce, and also pass on the gratitude that each of these organizations have for the work technicians are doing everyday.

Everyone can have, maybe everyone should have, a role in improving technology and healthcare. Hackathons offer one way in helping connect those with a passion for technology, healthcare, and love to "show not just tell" how healthcare can be better.

Over the weekend of October 23rd to 25th 2020, students from across the United States will gather virtually for 48 hours (from registration to closing ceremony) to build the coolest and most innovative web, mobile, and hardware health applications; meet amazing people; and win prizes and awards.  This year's event will be special in many ways to account for factors like COVID-19. It will feature participants with representation from top computer science and pharmacy schools around the nation. A strong focus will be placed on innovative ideas to address areas affected by COVID-19 such as telehealth, remote working/learning environments, combating social isolation, and more.  Listen in on this conversation between David Berkowitz PharmD, PittChallenge leader Britney Stottlemeyer (PharmD, '21, and Ravi Patel, PharmD) as they discuss how events like these possible to allow anyone at any experience level to help change healthcare.  Learn more about the PittChallenge hackathon at www.PittChallenge.com or reachout at PittChallengeHackathon@gmail.com.
