If only the prescription workflow were as simple as: Signed, sealed, delivered. But there are many issues that can arise requiring pharmacist intervention and prescriber approval. With standards like CancelRx in place, clinicians can help ensure patient safety. This episode of Un-Scripted will dive into how patients and clinicians alike benefit from the use of electronic standardization measures that address prescription change management, Sig quality issues, and safe prescription fulfillment.

Please visit our website to listen to prior podcast 1, 2 & 3 at https://lnkd.in/gsrjnv9P The Specialty Pharmacy Healthcare eco-systems is becoming more efficient in the way they intake and treat patients, and patients are becoming more well-informed. Efficient and accurate communication among doctors, nurses, support staff, and patients has never been more important. With streams of information constantly flowing, there are ample opportunities for the chain of communication to break down and become a barrier to care—meaning delays in care for patients, and bottlenecks to clinician productivity. Specialty Pharmacies are more collaborative with their patient-engagement teams capabilities that strengthen this point of care. These healthcare solutions enable team members to drive key decisions with confidence, no matter where they are. With the freedom to focus less on ordering a specialty prescription, tracking down supplies, or logging data, patient care teams can focus more on what matters most: the patients. Therefore, specialty pharmacies differ, not by location, but by services offered and conditions treated. When treating chronic and rare conditions, those differences add up to make a big impact on patient success. The specialty pharmacies are improving drug treatment outcomes and breaking down the barriers that make patient access difficult. Patients facing complex, chronic, rare, or life-threatening conditions rely on the added support and resources a specialty pharmacy provides Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve Maki RPh at Spruce Mountain Pharmacy Spruce Mountain Pharmacy is located in the beautiful rural country side in the town of, Jay, Maine. Coming in at about 2000 square feet it would appear, to the casual observer to be pretty typical of an independent community pharmacy. But, what owner Steve Maki, PharmD is doing with his team is far from typical. In this episode of PharmacyCrossRoads Maki share his philosophy and some practical ideas on how to turn is staff into a well-oiled healthcare and customer service team. Two years ago, Maki moved his pharmacy into a new, more spacious and more effectively laid out facility and brought in some new technology. Supporting the move and adopting the new technology was a BIG ask for his staff. But by listening, taking advice and delegating tasks things worked out well. As a special bonus Maki has offered up to PharmacyCrossRoads listeners a copy of his 3-page task list. The list shows the key performance indicators (KPI’s) for each of the nine major job categories assigned to team members. While the specific KPI metrics the list includes may not be right for your pharmacy, it is felt that at least seeing how the list is laid out and seeing specific numbers allotted to each task may be helpful. For a free copy of the list email me at: BFKneeland@gmail.com Thank you to Compliant Pharmacy Alliance & RxSafe for supporting this podcast episode and the Pharmacy Podcast Network. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
