The President’s Viewpoint GUEST COLUMNIST ANGELA S. GARCIA

Public Affairs Council Promotes ‘The Value of a Pharmacist’

t has been a very exciting year for the Public Affairs Council with new challenges given to us by our FPA President, Dr. Goar Alvarez. We worked to integrate the campaign of “The Value of a Pharmacist” into several areas, including the Tallahassee Legislative Days and Health Fair, Student Track for the upcoming FPA Annual Convention, and resources for the membership. With support from a very dynamic team and the amazing energy from our student council members, we believe we successfully embraced and highlighted the campaign, thus far. For those members who have been to Legislative Days, you understand the challenges of communicating the value of a pharmacist in a patient’s health care to the legislators. We have engaged in meaningful discussions with senators and representatives, but continue to find it challenging to get the value of what pharmacists do for health care and for patients. During the Florida Pharmacists Health Fair, behind each of our screening stations, we incorporated a special poster tied to that particular service. For example, behind the spirometry screening area, a poster hung titled “The Value of a Pharmacist in Asthma Care.” It was a great opportunity to focus attention on issues of incidence and prevalence of the chronic disease in Florida, the cost to the state health care system from poor management, and the impact that pharmacists make in improving patient outcomes. With information from the Florida Asthma Program Asthma Surveillance Data and Reports (Florida Department of Health), we were able to incorporate undisputed information about finan-

cial burden and population estimates as well as use the literature to highlight specific pharmacist-based services and contributions. This was repeated for several diseases including cholesterol, hypertension, smoking cessation and diabetes. Integrating “The Value of a Pharmacist” in the Student Track for the 2013 FPA Annual Convention will be accomplished through a student competition

We have engaged in meaningful discussions with senators and representatives, but continue to find it challenging to get the value of what pharmacists do for health care and for patients. to create public service announcements (PSAs).

tion. iPads will be used to display the PSAs in the Expo where popular vote will determine the winner. Jars will be placed behind the iPads and used to collect donations for supplies and student programming during the 2014 Health Fair. Students have been amazing this year in terms of their contributions and ideas. They are very enthusiastic about promoting the profession, reaching out to the public and being advocates of change. Their contributions to the success of our Council were matched only by their desire to be part of the evolution of the profession. The Public Affairs Council has also incorporated a petition for Florida citizens to help bring the patients’ perceptions of the value of a pharmacist to light with policy makers. We hope to utilize these petitions during discussions with legislators to demonstrate that their respective constituents want APRIL 2013

face-to-face time with their pharmacists, and that they consider pharmacists as part of their health care team. We hope students disseminate the petitions during community outreach events such as health fairs and screenings throughout the year. For pharmacists, we hope to target independent pharmacies and other practice sites during October’s American Pharmacist Month. We have seen how successful this petition was when piloted last October and look forward to increasing the perceived value of the pharmacist by the unity of our patients. With the new website, we hope to continue to bring resources to the membership and create an electronic library of brochures, flyers, handouts and patient information about pharmacists and pharmacy services. We are working to highlight links for ASHP and APhA members that will allow for one place (on the pharmview website) to identify information to promote the agenda and message of the

FPA. Student contributions of PSAs, development of the petition and templates for advertising how “The Pharmacist is there…” will also increase a consistent message for the value of pharmacists, pharmacy interns and technicians in our patients’ care and outcomes. Although just in its initial development, we are excited to begin organizing and getting access by the Annual Convention. The Public Affairs Council has been working somewhat silently, but we are very proud of what we have accomplished and hope the membership finds benefit in how we have promoted “The Value of the Pharmacist” to our patients and to the general public. There continues to be great momentum on the Public Affairs Council right now, and I imagine that with the new year starting in July, a new Chair, and the group of pharmacists currently serving, there will be many more amazing contributions to come. n

Executive Insight by michael jackson, RPh Michael Jackson, BPharm, EVP & CEO, Florida Pharmacy Association

FPA Proactively Advocating for Drug Abuse Prevention

rescription drug abuse has been the subject of discussion in many venues throughout Florida. In recent years, our state was considered the epicenter for the illegal use of legal drugs. These issues became such a challenge that the Legislature became involved by debating and passing sweeping legislation that created the prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). The development of this program was a number of years in the making, with a host of stakeholders weighing in on the pros and cons. What came out of policy review was a comprehensive, web-based system that pharmacists and prescribing practitioners could use to help gather prescription drug history on the patients they are treating. According to the PDMP 2012 annual report, the system was used by physicians and pharmacists 2.6 million times to guide their prescribing and dispensing decisions for patients. It was queried by law enforcement more than 20,000 times to assist in active criminal investigations involving controlled substances. Fifty-six million controlled substance prescriptions were entered into the database by nearly 5,000 pharmacies. The 2011 Medical Examiner’s Drugs Identified in Deceased Persons Report shows that deaths caused by oxycodone plunged by almost 18% in 2011, and overall drug deaths fell by 6.3%. Among the licensed professionals, pharmacists have the highest registration rate with the PDMP program, with over 34.6% registering. Roughly 9.4% of all medical doctors and osteopathic physicians and 3.3% dentists have registered as of September

30, 2012. Additional information on the program’s activity can be found at this link: http://www.eforcse.com/ docs/2012AnnualReport.pdf. With the above in mind, the membership of FPA needs to know that this program, though created by the Florida Legislature, includes a requirement for pharmacy providers to report dispensing data within seven days, and there is no state funding that is authorized. In

Many of our colleagues have found the information in the database useful in monitoring their patient’s care and routinely check the database for any unusual activity not found in the pharmacy’s in-house database. While there are bills that have been filed at press

time to allow for state funds to be used, we are not certain that these legislative proposals will make it to the governor’s desk for signature. The FPA leadership has discussed the PDMP program’s funding and encourages our members to become involved as the program’s advocate and supporter. President-Elect Terry Gubbins was the first to make a substantial contribution to assist in the fundraising effort. In a recent meeting of the Florida Pharmacy Association in Tampa, members of the FPA Board of Directors volunteered personal contributions to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Foundation. This fundraising effort for the PDMP Foundation is being spearheaded by FPA member Brian Kahan, who is a member and treasurer of the PDMP Foundation Board of Directors. The mission of the Florida PDMP Foundation, Inc., is to conduct fundraising for the benefit of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program in order to APRIL 2013 |

reduce prescription drug abuse and diversion. The Foundation’s funding will benefit the Florida Department of Health in its furtherance of Florida’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program in accordance with section-893.055, Florida Statutes. Support of the PDMP Foundation would be made to a 501c3 designated charitable organization and as such would be considered a tax-deductable contribution. The Florida Department of Health is sending out messages to its licensees asking that they also support the PDMP program. FPA leadership feels that our industry should take the lead and would send a message to all provider types to join us in our efforts. If you are interested in being a supporter, make your contributions directly to the Florida PDMP Foundation, Inc. Go to http:// www.flpdmpfoundation.com/ and make your donation online through the “Donation” link. Join with me and your leadership and send a message that we are advocates of this project.

Coping with Stress Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Stress is a condition that is often characterized by symptoms of physical or emotional tension. It is a reaction to a situation where a person feels threatened or anxious. Stress can be positive (e.g., preparing for a wedding) or negative (e.g., dealing with a natural disaster). Sometimes after experiencing a traumatic event that is especially frightening—including personal or environmental disasters, or being threatened with an assault—people have a strong and lingering stress reaction to the event. Strong emotions, jitters, sadness, or depression may all be part of this normal and temporary reaction to the stress of an overwhelming event.

Everyone—adults, teens, and even children—experiences stress at times. Stress can be beneficial by helping people develop the skills

they need to cope with and adapt to new and potentially threatening situations throughout life. However, the beneficial aspects of

stress diminish when it is severe enough to overwhelm a person’s ability to take care of themselves and family. Using healthy ways

to cope and getting the right care and support can put problems in perspective and help stressful feelings and symptoms subside.

Flori d a P h ar m a c y To d aY

Common reactions to a stressful event can include: ■■ Disbelief, shock, and numbness ■■ Feeling sad, frustrated, and helpless ■■ Fear and anxiety about the future ■■ Feeling guilty ■■ Anger, tension, and irritability ■■ Difficulty concentrating and making decisions ■■ Crying ■■ Reduced interest in usual activities ■■ Wanting to be alone ■■ Loss of appetite ■■ Sleeping too much or too little ■■ Nightmares or bad memories ■■ Reoccurring thoughts of the event ■■ Headaches, back pains, and stomach problems ■■ Increased heart rate, difficulty breathing ■■ Smoking or use of alcohol or drugs Healthy Ways to Cope with Stress Feeling emotional and nervous or having trouble sleeping and eating can all be normal reactions to stress. Engaging in healthy activities and getting the right care and support can put problems in perspective and help stressful feelings subside in a few days or weeks.

Some tips for beginning to feel better are: ■■ Take care of yourself. • Eat healthy, well-balanced meals • Exercise on a regular basis • Get plenty of sleep • Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out ■■ Talk to others. Share your problems and how you are feeling and coping with a parent, friend, counselor, doctor, or pastor. ■■ Avoid drugs and alcohol. Drugs and alcohol may seem to help with the stress. In the long run, they create additional problems and increase the stress you are already feeling. ■■ Take a break. If your stress is caused by a national or local event, take breaks from listening to the news stories, which can increase your stress. Recognize when you need more help. If problems continue or you are thinking about suicide, talk to a psychologist, social worker, or professional counselor. If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please contact the one of the following crisis hotlines: ■■ Disaster Distress Helpline: 1-800985-5990 ■■ National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (1-888-6289454 for Spanish-speaking callers) ■■ Youth Mental Health Line: 1-888568-1112 ■■ Child-Help USA: 1-800-422-4453 (24 hour toll free) Coping With Stress

Sometimes after experiencing a traumatic event that is especially frightening—including personal or environmental disasters, or being threatened with an assault—people have a strong and lingering stress reaction to the event. Tips for Parents It is natural for children to worry, especially when scary or stressful events happen in their lives. Talking with children about these stressful events and monitoring what children watch or hear about the events can help put frightening information into a more balanced context. Some suggestions to help children cope are: ■■

Maintain a normal routine. Helping children wake up, go to sleep, and eat meals at regular times provide them a sense of stability. Going to school and participating in typical after-school activities also provide stability and extra support.

■■

Talk, listen, and encourage expression. Create opportunities to have your children talk, but do not force them. Listen to your child’s thoughts and feelings and share some of yours. After a traumatic event, it is important for children to feel like they can share their feelings and to know that their fears and worries are understandable. Keep these conversations going by asking them how they feel in a week, then in a month, and so on.

■■

Watch and listen. Be alert for any change in behavior. Are children sleeping more or less? Are they withdrawing from friends or family? Are they behaving in any way out of the ordinary? Any changes in behavior, even small changes, may be signs that the child is having trouble coming to terms with the event and may support.

■■

Reassure. Stressful events can challenge a child’s sense of physical and emotional safety and security. Take opportunities to reassure your child about his or her safety and well-being and discuss ways that you, the school, and the community are taking steps to keep them safe.

■■

Connect with others. Make an on-going effort to talk to other parents and your child’s teachers about concerns and ways to help your child cope. You do not have to deal with problems alone-it is often helpful for parents, schools, and health professionals to work together to support and ensuring the well-being of all children in stressful times.

Over 400 Students and Pharmacists Attend Florida Pharmacy Legislative Days By Danielle Padgett Nova Southeastern University Representative Matt Hudson with University of Florida students

The annual Florida Pharmacy Association Legislative Days and Health Fair was held in Tallahassee, Florida, March 10-13, 2013. Seventy-two students from Nova Southeastern University College of Pharmacy had the honor of joining over 430 pharmacists and pharmacy students from across the state at this important event. Legislative Days is the largest organized collection of Florida pharmacists and students with a common agenda to advocate for the future of our profession,

educate legislators about the value and capacity of pharmacistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contributions in patient care, and to demonstrate leadership among pharmacists and students nationwide. Clinical trainings prepared students to work with health fair participants. These trainings were led by Dr. Angela S. Garcia, Assistant Professor and CoChair of the statewide event. She was assisted by NSU alumni Alexis Jurick, Olga Wydner, Indira Dupotey-Rubi, Deborah Lolo, Diana Graibe, and the

Florida Pharmacy Association President and NSU Clinical Services Director, Dr. Goar Alvarez. First and second-year students (P1, P2) spent Monday, March 11, in the special leadership workshop designed specifically for students to help them prepare for the course of events scheduled to occur during Legislative Days. Graciously, Florida A&M University hosted the event and their students served as ambassadors for the day. All students were welcomed by Dr. Goar Alvarez, FPA President, and Michael Jackson, CEO of the Florida Pharmacy Association. All students participated in a session entitled Advocacy and Legislation 101. Here they reviewed the most recent changes to House and Senate Bills impacting pharmacy practice and were given bios on the key legislators sponsoring these bills. They also reviewed opposition arguments to these bills and were given the key talking points for each piece of legislation with which to

discuss during their lobbying activities. Students were also assigned to Legislative Mentors, whose purpose was to guide them through the process, model professional interactions, and to answer any questions they had about the conversations, process, and up to the

The afternoon sessions held during the Leadership Workshop (Monday, March 11) involved a Clinical Skills workshop where students had the opportunity to be trained on any equipment that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive training on at their respective schools. Training was again provided by NSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Garcia and alumna Alexis Jurick, and past FPA president Humberto Martinez, who taught students from the five other Colleges of Pharmacy from around the state about clinical pearls, patient, education, adherence, and counseling for the clinical services that were to be provided during the health fair. On Tuesday, March 12, pharmacy students joined with the pharmacists to hear from a variety of speakers and attend a Legislative and Regulatory Update CE provided by Michael Jackson. An instructional presentation followed, given by speakers Humberto Martinez (FPA) and Paul Eger (FSHP), after which all FPA members marched up the hill from the Civic Center to the State Capitol. A special session was ar-

ranged just for Florida Pharmacy Students hosted by Senator Greg Evers, representing district II, in the Senate Chambers. Several Senators stopped by to address the group, and facilitated a mock Senate debate concerning the expansion of Medicaid. Wednesday, March 13, began bright and early as students and pharmacists made their way to the second floor Rotunda of the Florida Capitol. We set up progressive stations at the health fair for legislators and visitors to the Capitol to receive care and services at all of the educational and clinical screening stations. These stations included: Blood Glucose, Body Mass Index, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Framingham Calculations, Smoking Cessation, Spirometry testing, Safe Drug Disposal, Bone Density, and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health. Student pharmacy interns from all six Colleges of Pharmacy participated in attendance in special meetings. Over 140 participants were registered to receive services and a total of 694 patient encounters were tracked throughout the day. This was an impressive number of encounters, which were possible due to the commitment of the students and precepting pharmacists (faculty and practitioners). The message of the Value of a Pharmacist (one of the goals of the FPA President) was enhanced through this successful demonstration that pharmacists are vital to the health care team, utilizing educational posters tied to cost effectiveness and improved patient care outcomes.

In addition to his full-time responsibilities as the Director of CCPR, RADM Giberson was also selected by Dr. Benjamin for a four-year term as the Chief Professional Officer (CPO) for the Pharmacy Category of the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), effective March 16, 2010. As the CPO, he advises the Office of the Surgeon General and the Department of Health and Human Services on operational and professional affairs of over 1,150 PHS pharmacists.

In 2000, RADM Giberson became the Chief Pharmacist at the Fond du Lac (FDL) Health Clinic in Cloquet, Minnesota where he continued as a non-physician primary care provider. RADM Giberson has taught hundreds of students at the IHS Clinical Pharmacy Practice Training Program (PPTP) and has lectured at many pharmacy schools across the U.S. In 2001, RADM Giberson responded to the Anthrax attacks and provided care to postal workers in New York City.

In 2003, RADM Giberson was detailed to the Department of Defense for three years. He served on many international health missions for the U.S. Pacific Command involving more than 23 countries. His bilateral work with specific countries also included Thailand, India, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. He traveled extensively working with foreign militaries on HIV/AIDS and other initiatives. Following his work in the Pacific, he transitioned back to the IHS as their National HIV/AIDS Program Principal Consultant. He greatly expanded the program and became a sought-after consultant on HIV/AIDS programs. He also served as a Steering Committee member for President Obama’s National HIV/AIDS Strategy. RADM Giberson has advocated across his career to advance the pharmacy profession. He maintains dual licensure as a pharmacist and clinician, and has worked as a member of an IHS Family Practice Medical staff for most of his career.
