If you're a Manulife insurance client, you've likely checked your list of prescriptions by now. The company announced a deal with Loblaw this month, such that certain "specialty" medications will only be covered at a Loblaw-owned pharmacy. Curtis Chafe is a pharmacist, and sits on the board for the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia. He tells us what this change means for patients in the province.

Some pharmacists are part of a pilot project that expands their role to include clinical work. It's an effort to help lighten the load on our strained healthcare system. Meanwhile, many pharmacists across the country are reporting burnout and having to reduce hours due to staffing shortages. Allison Bodnar from the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia talks about how pharmacists are managing their new clinical responsibilities.

It's been more than a decade since the Nova Scotia government has made it possible for pharmacists in the province to be more active in delivering primary health care. But there are still people who don't know about all of the services that are available to them. And there are also people who can't afford to access those services because they aren't covered by the province. Opposition politicians are calling for that to change. And Allison Bodnar, the CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia, is optimistic but yet realistic about the pace of that change.

Now that we're two years into the global pandemic, we've learned a lot about the frailties and limits in many of our health care systems. And when the vaccines started becoming available, we saw a pivot for pharmacies as they became front lines for public health care. March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month. And Allison Bodnar is the CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia (PANS). They are taking some time this year to recognize the innovations they've brought to the health care system in Nova Scotia. And they're looking ahead to other ways they can become more of a front line partner moving forward.

Ep 288 - Your Pharmacist and Covid19 Guest: Annette Robinson - Derek Desrosiers   Are pharmacists an underutilized health care resource in the fight against the Coronavirus?  “Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professionals in BC,” says Annette Robinson, the Vice-President of the Pharmacy Association. “One reason pharmacists may be overlooked is due to a perception that they are merely prescription fillers.”  Past BCPhA President Derek Desrosiers says, “Pharmacists are the drug specialists for sure, but the scope of practice for them has expanded over the years. Past health care crises forced the healthcare system to empower and enlist pharmacists to not only provide flu shots, but fill emergency prescriptions and manage adaptations.” What it adds up to is an additional health care provider who is available seven days a week, from early in the morning to late at night. We invited Annette Robinson and Derek Desrosiers to join us for a Conversation That Matter about a health care resource you may have overlooked. Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Morris J Wosk Center for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.

An interview with Dr. Paul Celano from the greater Baltimore Medical Center, lead author on "Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs: ASCO Standards." TRANSCRIPT The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform. This is not a substitute for professional medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast series. My name is Shannon McKernin. And today I'm interviewing Dr. Paul Celano from the greater Baltimore Medical Center, lead author on "Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs: ASCO Standards." Thank you for being here today, Dr. Celano. Thank you for having me. I'm certainly glad to talk about these standards. They're very important to our employees and our patients. So first I want to make the distinction that this publication is not a guideline like we usually cover on this podcast. So can you tell us what standards are and how they differ from guidelines? Well, guidelines really are intended to guide practitioners around recommended care options. They give obviously a lot of latitude to clinical judgment and circumstances. Standards, on the other hand, are really meant primarily for the organization of care and are intended to have a higher level of obligation to help drive either practice or policy or even legislative efforts. So that's really the distinction. And what are the standard statements that are made by ASCO in this publication? The publication really is about safe handling of hazardous drugs. This all came about is because recently there have been a number of national guidelines or standards that have been offered by other organizations, but not specifically oncology or certainly ASCO or the ASCO organization. We felt a need to address the standards that have been put out on the basis of the evidence, so that best practices can be offered. Initially, we did collaborate with other societies, such as the Oncology Nursing Society and the Hematology Oncology Pharmacy Association. That was really the impetus behind making sure that we are, in a sense, congruent with standards that are already being published and discussed, but also to also place in our interpretation of these standards so that they're based on the best evidence that's available. And what qualifying statements are there to note about these standards? Well, I think the best way to look at these standards is there has been recently published or offered what's been called the UST 800 standards, which really incorporate other previous standards by the Pharmacy Association as well as OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Association, as well as NIOSH, the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Oncology Nursing, etc. So there's a lot of standards that have been offered. And in fact, the ASCO review of this really in a sense agrees with many of the standards that have already been published and offered-- types of exposures, the responsibilities of personnel handling the drugs, the personal protective equipment, how we communicate the hazardous drugs, the training of compounding personnel, how the drugs are dispensed and even transported. So there's lots of things that we really do agree with. I think it's also important to understand that the objectives of this is really to protect personnel and the environment to make sure the standards apply to all personnel who compound hazardous drugs and preparations, all places where hazardous drugs are prepared and stored, transported and administered. So that's really a key part of this. These are a comprehensive program really to prevent worker environmental exposure and to provide the most practical safety environment for all involved. So finally, why are these standards so important? And how will they affect practice? Well, they effect practice in many ways. I mean, the key thing is making sure that our employees, meaning the nurses, pharmacy, the technicians, really everyone involved that they're not unduly exposed to these hazardous drugs. And so that's really the key thing that we're all trying to achieve by this. Now, what really makes the sort of ASCO standards somewhat different or the things that we came into a contention with has to do with the differences that ASCO has come up with in contrast to some of the other standards. And these have to do with really four main areas within these standards. They have to do with medical surveillance, external ventilation, closed system transfer devices, and also proper assignment of our personnel while they may have either trying to conceive or pregnant or nursing. So those areas that in our review, the ASCO review, have come under some question. As an example, medical surveillance, there in some of the standards offered-- not ASCO's-- that there's a number of medical surveillance procedures that have been elucidated, that really we find, number one, have really not any proven value for our employees and generate a lot of confusion in terms of how this process is supposed to be done. Obviously, if one of our employees has some undue exposure, such as a spill of chemotherapy or even just have flat out a concern, then obviously those things will be clearly investigated. But to have general medical surveillance of all employees, really we did not feel was of great value. But also further, we really feel that this is an area where more research needs to be done to better elucidate really what should this process look like and what value are we providing to our employees. Another aspect of this is the use of what are called closed system transfer devices. Currently, there are a number of these devices available that there is interestingly no standard way that these devices have been evaluated. And so it's hard to recommend one device over another, because there is no standards for which they're really being compared. And there certainly have been no studies looking at really any form of health outcome that really help us to direct this to how best to use these devices. And so really, a lot of these objections are more around let's do things in an evidence-based way so we can better know how to best direct our practices. Another area of concern in terms of ASCO standards have been the implementation of external ventilation in either containment secondary engineering controls or other situations. And the challenges is that HEPA filters are probably appropriate for collecting solid or aerosolized particles, but don't capture vaporized drugs. But there's little data available on the ability of hazardous drugs to vaporize within the workplace environment and what those hazards really are. And so again, it's is a call for more research to have an optimal environment for preparing these drugs and without having to place undue burdens in terms of external ventilation. Another area is options for alternative duties for workers who are actively trying to conceive or are pregnant or breastfeeding. And these we recognize can be special burdens to small practices looking to implement alternative duty programs. There is a lot of controversy regarding the potential level of risk that really these workers really have. And basically our stance has been that we should have a policy that identifies alternative work options for workers who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or are breastfeeding, and that this information needs to be conveyed to these employees at the time of their hire so they understand what their risks are and what their options are within the workplace. Again, trying to make sure everyone is well informed and aware of what the work environment they're in and as their life circumstances change what they can do to change with this. I think the key is that we all feel that this is an area that we should have continued research on. And our standard, certainly ASCO's standards will continue to evolve as more and more research and evidence becomes available. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these standards to us today, Dr. Celano. You're welcome. And thank you to all of our listeners for tuning into the ASCO Guidelines podcast series.

The Value Strategy GuyI help frustrated, overworked professionals worried about the state of their profession, select and implement the best value strategy possible so they can get paid what they are worth and build a secure future for themselves and their families.   Special Guest Greg L. Alston, with Ben Coakley on the Income Outcomes Show. The profession of pharmacy has been an awesome career for me.  It has allowed me the freedom to practice in a variety of environments and to provide for my family.  But the profession I entered in 1977 is not the profession we are looking at today.  And in my opinion, many of the commonly held beliefs about the profession are keeping people from being successful.  My goal is to challenge your unsaid assumptions and internal biases.  By challenging those biases, I believe you will discover a new world of opportunity for your career. There are three big misconceptions that I believe the profession has been singing the wrong song about. I don't think anybody has been doing this intentionally to harm the profession and yet I think the lack of progress the profession has made primarily emanates from some of these misguided assumptions. The Field of Dreams Strategy The first mantra that has been pounding through the profession for the last 40 years is what I call, the field of dreams strategy.  We have felt that, “if we build it they will come.” We have believed that if we improved the clinical skills of our professional pharmacists that the public would willingly pay for these new services.  However, this has failed to happen, and it has failed to happen because leadership misunderstands how value is created for a target market. A recent article in the American Journal of the Pharmacy Association pointed this out very clearly when their survey of patients who had been exposed to medication therapy management services came back with some unexpectedly negative results.   Approximately 60% of the patients who were aware of the services and aware of what the pharmacist could do said they had no interest or not very much interest in receiving the services. Let me tell you what I think this means.  It does not mean that those services are not valuable.  It does not mean that people don't need those services.  What it means is our profession has done a terrible job of marketing those services.  We argue with ourselves.  We write articles in our journals.  We complained to our legislators.  But we have never made a compelling case to our patients that what we do is critical for their health. There is no more clear proof of this than comparing what pharmacists have done for their profession to what dentists have done for their profession.  If you ask any adult in America how often they need to go to their dentist to have a good thorough cleaning and inspection they will tell you every six months.  If you ask anyone in America how often should a person taking multiple medications go to their pharmacist for a complete medication review, you will be met with blank stares.  Again, we have done a terrible job of marketing our profession.

As the science of pharmacy became more sophisticated, the Association saw the importance of insuring that pharmacists stay abreast of the rapidly changing information. SCPhA is an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) approved provider for continuing education. The Association constantly strives to offer readily available and quality education services to South Carolina pharmacists. SCPhA's legislative influence has gained strength in recent years. Through tremendous work of SCPhA's Legislative Network, H3631, "Rx Freedom of Access" was passed by the SC General Assembly and signed into state law in May 1994. The Association led the effort for a complete revision of the Pharmacy Practice Act, which was signed into law in June of 1998.  SCPhA has grown from its original 50 male members and no staff to more than 2,000 male and female pharmacy professionals and a full-time staff of 7 professionals. These members and staff continue to work toward positive changes that sustain the profession of pharmacy.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
