In this episode of This Week in Pharmacy for May 16th, 2025, Pharmacy Podcast Network founder Todd Eury is joined by his co-host Dr. Ryan Paul Liabenow, PhD, CEO of Mango Health as they review TWIRx News. Our first segment, we explore the transformative potential of the Long-Term Care at Home (LTC@Home) pharmacy model. As healthcare shifts towards home-based care, pharmacies have a unique opportunity to expand their services beyond traditional settings.  Key Discussion Points: Strategic Partnership Spotlight: We delve into the recent collaboration between RxSafe/Eyecon, PharmaComplete, and the LTC@Home Pharmacy Network. This alliance aims to revolutionize pharmacy operations through automation and expert consulting, enhancing patient care in the LTC@Home space. Expert Insights: Paul Shelton, founder of PharmaComplete and co-founder of the LTC@Home Pharmacy Network, shares his extensive experience in pharmacy operations and discusses strategies for pharmacies to successfully implement LTC@Home services. Automation in Focus: We examine how RxSafe's Eyecon technology, including RapidPakRx and RapidCardRx, is streamlining compliance packaging and improving workflow efficiency for pharmacies transitioning to the LTC@Home model.  Business Transformation: Learn how integrating LTC@Home services can lead to increased prescription volumes, enhanced patient outcomes, and new revenue streams for pharmacies. Why This Matters: The LTC@Home model represents a significant shift in pharmacy services, aligning with the broader trend of patient-centered, home-based care. By adopting this model, pharmacies can play a pivotal role in reducing hospitalizations and improving the quality of life for patients requiring long-term care.   On the second feature, we spotlight a remarkable family legacy that's shaped community pharmacy in Salt Lake City for over 70 years. We're talking about Jolley's Compounding Pharmacy—a third-generation, family-owned pharmacy that continues to blend tradition with innovation.   From the pioneering vision of Joel Jolley in 1954 to the modern leadership of Dean Jolley, R.Ph., and now Dr. Benjamin Jolley, the Jolley family has remained committed to personalized care, compounding excellence, and pharmacist-driven leadership. Ben is joined by his sister, Megan Jolley Milne, PharmD, BCACP, entrepreneur and CEO of Nutranize.    This Episode is sponsored by Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and Eyecon RxSafe.    Connect with Us: For more insights and updates, follow This Week in Pharmacy on LinkedIn and Twitter.

This is the 11th episode in my Pharmacist Podcasters Series. My guests and I talk about podcasting to inspire you to start your own podcast, be a podcast guest, or use your voice in general. If you're interested in podcasting, pod-guesting or public speaking, you need to listen to this episode. My guest today is Dr. Danielle Plummer, host of the MaternalRx Podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network.    Pharmacists can play a crucial role in maternal health. Advocacy and education are critical in improving maternal care. Listen and learn from Dr. Plummer on the MaternalRx Podcast!    Click to read the FULL show notes: https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast (select episode 329)   Bio - Danielle Plummer, PharmD (May 2025) Danielle Plummer, PharmD, is a third-generation pharmacist and host of the MaternalRx podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network. She earned her PharmD from Creighton University in 2016 and has since had a broad pharmacy career spanning retail, hospital, consulting, and medical affairs.   Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, Danielle specializes in supporting pregnant patients, particularly those suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). After studying treatments for other diseases of malnutrition in pharmacy school, she became certified in pharmacogenetics and as an antepartum doula. This, along with a community of pharmacy entrepreneurs, inspired her to launch HG Pharmacist©, a blog to share information about HG, which later grew into Obstet-Rx©, a consulting company offering personalized medication management and patient advocacy to women worldwide.   Her subject matter expertise has led to board member appointments, speaking engagements, and media contributions for international magazines. In her work as an MSL, she has supported diagnostics for preeclampsia (sFlt-1/PlGF) and procalcitonin, as well as therapies for iron deficiency anemia and small cell lung cancer.   Through her podcast, Danielle shows how pharmacists play a key role in improving maternal outcomes. (End bio)    Backstory Danielle and I met at Medipreneurs several years ago and have kept in touch. I enjoyed getting to know her better during this interview. She has transformed her career since we first met, and I'm proud of her for starting a podcast.    The Pharmacy Podcast Network is an important part of Danielle's story.
