Our guests: "Les Louden, PharmD, MS, Pharmacy Manager St. Joseph's Hospital BayCare Health System, and John B. Hertig, PharmD, MS, CPPS, FASHP, FFIP Founder, Hertig Healthcare Advising, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Purdue University.In this episode, I welcome back Dr. John Hertig along with first-time guest Les Louden from BayCare Health System to discuss their groundbreaking research on controlled substance waste in hospital procedural areas.Their recent study, ""Assessing the Costs of Intravenous Push Waste in Intraoperative Areas Through Observation,"" reveals striking findings about both the financial and operational impact of medication waste. We explore how commonly used medications like fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, midazolam, and ketamine are routinely wasted in significant quantities.John and Les discuss how their multi-site study quantified not just product waste but also the substantial ""workforce time waste"" associated with medication disposal processes. With an estimated $56,557 worth of medication and staff time wasted annually at just the hospitals studied, our conversation examines the practical implications for healthcare systems nationwide.We also delve into potential solutions, including automated workflows that significantly reduce documentation time, manufacturer considerations for right-sized medication packaging, and the patient safety implications when clinical staff are pulled away from care to witness waste disposal.Whether you're a healthcare administrator, pharmacy professional, or clinician, this evidence-based discussion offers valuable insights into an often overlooked aspect of healthcare efficiency and resource management.Thanks to our sponsor, MIDAS Healthcare SolutionsLearn more about V.I.E.W.

To fully understand the discussion regarding drotrecogin alfa, Paul and I review the mechanism of action and its proposed action in the treatment of sepsis. Then we review earlier studies and the controversy behind the FDA approval process. Finally, we go into detail on what Clinical Pharmacists were tasked with doing at the time based on treatment protocols or hospital restrictions. Then we dive into the Trial of the Week, discussing the study design and results. What was the mood in ICUs and Pharmacy Departments after this publication? How much did our sepsis care improve from PROWESS to PROWESS-SHOCK? What lessons did we learn with the Xigris FDA approval process? Is there a patient population that could still benefit from drotrecogin alfa treatment? Plus, trial fun facts, issues with calculating APACHE II scores, and so much more.

CancerNetwork® spoke with experts across multiple disciplines about the far-reaching impacts of the ongoing shortages of chemotherapy drugs including carboplatin and cisplatin, and how practices may be able to mitigate these challenges in the short and long term.  Michael Ganio, PharmD, MS, BCPS, FASHP, described the causes of carboplatin and cisplatin being in short supply across the United States and how the FDA is working with Chinese manufacturers to import these chemotherapy agents. Ganio, senior director of Pharmacy Practice and Quality at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, stated that communication is paramount among all members of a care team to help prevent critical errors while treating patients with limited supplies of these drugs. He also spoke about how reaching out to local representatives may help address the issues resulting from these shortages. “Advocacy is needed,” Ganio said. “Our policymakers need to know that these shortages are having a real-world impact, and that they need to be addressed.” Brian Slomovitz, MD, MS, FACOG, spoke about how he is managing the ongoing shortages in the context of his gynecologic cancer care, including swapping one platinum-based drug for another during treatment. Slomovitz, a gynecologic oncologist, director of Gynecologic Oncology, and co-chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida and a professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Florida International University, also described the challenges many practices across the country have due to lacking platinum-based drugs altogether. “I know there are institutions that don't have [platinum-based chemotherapy],” Slomovitz said. “There are institutions that aren't able to give their patients the best standard-of-care therapy and aren't able to enroll patients in trials because of lack of therapy.”  Lucio N. Gordan, MD, addressed the financial impacts of these shortages, discussing how his practice has managed the rising prices of carboplatin and cisplatin in the country. Gordan, president and managing physician at Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute who sees patients in the state-wide practice's Gainesville Cancer Center, stated that efforts from major oncology organizations may help increase adequate access to chemotherapy drugs. “It's very important that the large practices and institutions in the country stay united,” Gordan said. “The Community Oncology Alliance [COA], American Society of Clinical Oncology [ASCO], and others are trying to push legislation that would protect the consumer, the patients, and us to make sure that we have a proven supply.” Don't forget to subscribe to the “Oncology On-The-Go” podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere podcasts are available.

Leadership - I am passionate about leadership development. I appreciate the mentorship provided to me in this area and have tried to incorporate this into our curriculum for both students and residents. Advocacy - I feel advocacy to move pharmacy forward is very important. I have enjoyed building on my experience as a Health Policy Fellow and working with others to better understand legislative processes and how to advocate for our profession. Practice Advancement / Community-Based Research - I had the opportunity early in my career to lead the Pharmaceutical Care Clinics at UMMC, comprised of pharmacist-run clinics and interprofessional clinics and later to work with colleagues to implement a Community-Based Research Program to implement medication management services (like those in the Pharmaceutical Care Clinics) in community pharmacy and clinic settings. Through the Community-Based Research Program, we have established a number of partnerships, such as the Mississippi State Department of Health. Research - Most recently, I worked with colleagues to establish a Center for Clinical and Translational Science in our Research Institute. This Center is structured to facilitate research across the translational spectrum from basic research to clinical trials to communities. Our community research is now housed in this Center.

Sandra Leal is the President of the APhA and is a longtime advocate and leader for #providerstatus, Sandra has had a tremendous impact on the profession and we are honored to have her on the Pharmacy Podcast. Sandra is committed to the theme & mission for pharmacists to "Be the Voice for Pharmacy" and she asks that you join her in her mission by speaking up and using your voices too. CONNECT w/ SANDRA  @SLealRx @BetheVoiceRx Scott Knoer, PharmD is the CEO of the APhA and is committed to changing the payment system of the strangle-hold status quo system controlled by the 3 leading PBMs which process more than 75% of all prescriptions in the U.S.  CONNECT w/ SCOTT  @ScottKnoer The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) has joined a federal lawsuit filed by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) in January to challenge direct and indirect remuneration (DIR) fees. DIR fees have been a point of contention since they were loosely established in 2014 because they allow pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to retroactively impose these fees on pharmacies and, indirectly, on patients long after the point of sale. “HHS has acknowledged on multiple occasions that retroactive pharmacy DIR fees inflict harm on pharmacies and increase costs for their patients, but it has repeatedly neglected to address the problem,” said APhA EVP and CEO Scott J. Knoer, MS, PharmD, FASHP, in a press release. “This lawsuit puts pharmacy in the driver's seat. We demand that HHS meet its obligations and use its authority to stop PBMs from operating without accountability.” Scott was interviewed by Pharmacy Times Alana Hippensteele & said:  Right now, obviously, doctors, PAs, nurse practitioners, and—this is no insult intended whatsoever—but audiologists and nurse midwives are also providers. Pharmacists are the second most educated with PharmD's and our bachelor's pharmacists have been working 30 years with experience, and my audiologist, I have a hearing tested—God love her—she did a great job, but she's not trained at the level pharmacists are. So it's just ludicrous that pharmacists cannot bill for the services they all went to school for. So—we'll get to this, I know you've got your questions, I'm sorry I give long answers to short questions—the problem is pharmacies are only reimbursed for product in the community setting, and 20 years ago that was okay because you got paid enough where I could talk to your mom about her diabetes. Now the PBMs have sucked so much money out of the health care system without providing any real value that all you can do is volume. That's why we've had reporter—just recently Adiel Kaplan at NBC news—talk about the challenges in chain pharmacies. I love chain pharmacies, but they tend to have busier pharmacies, people are stressed out, they're burned out, they're worried about making errors—so that was a long answer to what's this do—it allows for patients in underserved areas where—it's not everyone, but it's a good start—for pharmacists to bill for what they went to school for. For a sustainable practice model—it's not sustainable right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's Pharmacy Podcast Show guest is Dr. Jeffrey Fudin. We're talking about the March 30th 2016 article from Pain News Network:  How Opioid Prescribing Guidelines Use Pseudoscience By Michael Schatman and Jeffrey Fudin, Guest Columnists Recently, we (along with our colleague, Dr. Jacqueline Pratt Cleary) published an open access article in the Journal of Pain Research, entitled “The MEDD Myth: The Impact of Pseudoscience on Pain Research and Prescribing Guideline Development.” In this work, we address the issue of how governmental and managed care opioid guideline prescribing committees use the flawed concept of morphine-equivalent daily dose (MEDD or MME) to arbitrarily place limits on the amount of opioids that a clinician “should” prescribe to any patient with chronic pain -- as if all patients were identical.  The article cites excellent research that exposes the invalid concept of MEDD – and while guideline authors are fully aware of that lack of evidence, they are hypocritically fine with using MEDD as a device to thwart chronic opioid use. In the case of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain, there is at least some evidence.  But for MEDD, there is no evidence.
