March Madness
hoever actually coined the term “March Madness” was a genius … and what an understatement of the year as we reflect on everything we were involved with during this past month as an Association. We marched into battle with important legislative priorities and the intention of stopping the madness of inappropriate business practices that our independent pharmacists and pharmacies are facing. We marched around the Capitol with our students and pharmacists from several practice sites dispelling myths about who we are and what we are qualified to do as providers and patient advocates. We marched through our APhA annual convention showcasing incredible student engagement and leadership, earning recognition across the country. We have one of our own long-standing members of the leadership marching forward in his campaign for a national position in APhA. We marched into the APhA House of Delegates with the intention to actively voice Florida’s concerns and needs for creating strong policy to elevate opportunities for enhanced patient care outcomes and clinical services across all practice environments, which promote safety and wellness for patients, pharmacists, student pharmacists and technicians alike. There are a lot of concerns about what is happening to our profession, the impact it’s taking on our community practice pharmacists (both independent and retail), and the changing opportunities for our pharmacists, student pharmacists and technicians. No matter what goes into organizational planning, we must reflect on and analyze what changes we need to make in our leadership to promote growth that achieves our members’ priorities and
goals, not just our own. We must collaborate and partner to take completely different approaches: “Madness is repeating the same behaviors but expecting different outcomes.”
It is not easy to execute change, but we have a great start; our 2018-2023 Strategic Plan set forth a blueprint to rebrand and become what our profession needs as well as what our members what. It’s hard to say this knowing how busy so many of us in the leadership have been this month, but it doesn’t really matter what we do if our members don’t see it or the impacts of it. It’s not easy stepping away from the madness and into the unexpected – but what we do know is we cannot remain the same. We discussed during our 2018 summer leadership retreat the need to shift our approaches to be proactive and not reactive as an Association and to invest in what it takes to be fully engaged with our members and sensitive to the issues facing our profession. The chal-

It is not easy to execute change, but we have a great start; our 2018-2023 Strategic Plan set forth a blueprint to rebrand and become what our profession needs as well as what our members what. It’s hard to say this knowing how busy so many of us in the leadership have been this month, but it doesn’t really matter what we do if our members don’t see it or the impacts of it. We must be bold and take the risks we identified in our Councils and planning meetings; we cannot simply continue to exist at the same frequency and think we are going to bring in members and win battles for our profession. Acknowledging the efforts and work from an incredible legacy of leadership is easy within our Association. We have a strong history of engagement from local leadership and we MARCH 2019

need to keep that pipeline flowing by cultivating mentorship equitably across all geographic areas of our membership. We have members of the FPA that have worked their way up and into national roles of leadership across multiple pharmacy organizations that we continue to utilize for resources and networking. We must remember that every calculated step we make in one direction brings multiple perspectives (some we didn’t anticipate) and as an Association committed to rebranding and growth, we also recognize it is time for us to really step up our game when it comes to communication with our members and the transparency of decisions we are making. We echo the concerns expressed by our independents’ regarding unethical business practices and we hear the urgency for protections from retail pharmacists regarding metrics, workload, safety and wellness. The bottom line is this: WE need to come together to have more open dialogue between the leadership, regional directors, local units and regional members about how to elevate our profession while establishing appropriate safeguards across all practice settings. We shouldn’t be afraid of integrating technology to enhance safety and outcomes or innovations in practice models that increase access and services. We have to set boundaries, expectations and safety measures using our membership to provide us with what they need to have the support in their pharmacies to do right by their patients and feel fully supported to practice to their highest capacity but not be exploited for the sake of profit. We have to start making some hard decisions, write a new playbook and get some skin in the game. Even if we lose our fight the first several attempts, so be it; we will define our fighting spirit and demonstrate to our current members and potential members “what the FPA does for you.” We’ve got to show everyone we’re here to take our profession back. This is The Power of WE. n

Can Your Efforts Make a Difference?
T
he telephones here at the Florida Pharmacy Association office ring constantly with members raging over the many issues that affect our businesses and our professional practice. Pharmacists are trained to provide a variety of health-care services, yet our pharmacy practice act has failed to keep pace with the new practitioner training standards. Pharmacy businesses are being decimated by PBM policies of unfair audits, restricted networks, aggressive MAC pricing lists, take it or leave it contracts, DIR fees and a host of other things being done that are not appropriate to mention in a professional journal. Front-line pharmacists are not shy about sharing major concerns over safety issues driven by staffing reductions, application of unreasonable performance metrics and efforts to create rules and laws that appear to separate the providing pharmacist and the patient. Let me be clear that we want to hear from our members that are experiencing things that just seem outrageous. We are generally aware of most issues that create problems. You may be interested in knowing that the FPA may have some solutions that could help you. Every now and then we will hear about something unique that is just unbelievable. In many cases, your concerns are already known to the FPA, and we are taking aggressive action to fix, fight or find solutions to the problem. We have been successful over the years going to war on behalf of this profession. As a member of the Florida Pharmacy Association, you are an important part of the problem solving that we do. With this issue of Florida Pharmacy Today, we are well into the 2019 leg-

Stuart Ulrich
The Florida Pharmacy Association is sad to announce the passing of pharmacist Stu Ulrich. Stu was a longtime and loyal member of FPA and had a great love for his profession and the people of this association. Stu spent most of his career in South Florida working in hospitals in Broward and Palm Beach counties, most recently over 20 years at Delray Medical Center. He provided his photography skills at countless FPA conventions and served for many years on the Florida Pharmacy Today board – most recently as secretary. Originally from New York, Stu went to pharmacy school at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and later served for years as the secretary for the Palm Beach Society of Health Systems Pharmacists. Even at the end when Stu was not doing well, he still wanted to attend Legislative Days as well as the Annual Meeting to take pictures and to see his friends. Stuey, we will miss seeing you getting everyone set up for the big picture! Thank you to Gary Dalin for contributing to this tribute.

Clinical Opportunities for Community Pharmacies through the Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Network (CPESN) Florida By Kim Jones and Laura Rhodes It i s k now n t hat pharmacy economics, particularly for independent pharmacies, are in a state of decline. Despite the opportunity for revenue streams related to prescription drugs, over-the-counter Kim Jones Laura Rhodes products, vitamins and other merchandise (e.g., boutique, groceries, cosmetics), many independent pharmacies struggle to maintain favorable financial margins. It has been reported that overall gross margin from prescription and nonprescription products declined by 2.3 percent from 2010 to 2017 at independent pharmacies.1 This is an alarming statistic because the same is not true for chain pharmacies, whose overall gross margin remains higher than those for independent pharmacies.2 One contributor to this downward trend is a decline in prescription profit margins. From 2013 to 2017, the average profit per prescription dispensed at an independent pharmacy decreased by $1.29, representing a 1.4 percent decrease in profit per prescription. Although this difference may seem small, it impacts every prescription that is dispensed, which has downstream financial implications for the pharmacy’s profit margins. There are many reasons for this, which may include slow prescription growth, maximized generic dispensing rates, direct and indirect remuneration (DIR) fees and competition within the marketplace.1,2 Despite these challenges, the future of independent pharmacy can be viable in today’s dramatically changing industry. There are opportunities to integrate new revenue streams to community pharmacies by delivering patient care beyond dispensing prescriptions. That is, by offering a suite of clinical services.3,4,5 Many patients that are served by independent community pharmacies require a higher level of care, including comprehensive disease state and medication education, and increased time resources from their pharmacist. These complex patients need a pharmacy that is patient-centered and is willing to go above and beyond to help them improve their health outcomes and reduce their health-care expenditures. A fundamental component of what makes independent pharmacy unique is the ability to deliver high-quality, personalized care to customers. This provides an opportunity to provide a higher focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing overall cost of care (e.g., preventable hospital admis-
sions, adverse drug events). The Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Network (CPESN) USA was born in response to this need in the marketplace. CPESN USA is a network of pharmacies that coordinates patient care with broader care teams to provide medication optimization activities and enhanced services for complex patients. CPESN USA develops and sustains local networks of high-performing pharmacies that provide enhanced services for their patients.6 As of March 2019, the CPESN USA network is comprised of 2,086 community pharmacies across 43 local networks, including our local network CPESN Florida (Figure 1).7 An important component of the CPESN USA framework is that network pharmacies are part of a clinically integrated network, which describes a legal entity that allows the local network to approach payors for contracts to reimburse for services provided by the pharmacies within the network. It is important to note that these reimbursements can come from the medical benefit side of the health-care platform, not only the prescription benefit side. This means that pharmacies have the opportunity to expand revenue streams secondary to clinical services that are paid for, whole or in part, by the medical benefit. Another critical concept of belonging to this clinically integrated network is that each participating pharmacy must meet the network’s minimum standard of providMARCH 2019

ing the following services: medication reconciliation, clinical medication synchronization, immunizations, comprehensive medication reviews, and personal medication records.8 CPESN USA empowers local networks across America by providing services and solutions where scale and aggregation make the most sense. They offer support to these network pharmacies through quality improvement initiatives, practice transformation and ongoing quality assurance measures required of clinically integrated networks. They have subject matter expertise and network consultation services to help build, launch and empower the local networks. Shared resources from USA and local network pharmacies add benefit for everyone to learn from each other’s successes in hopes of duplicating in each local network.

Other benefits include the opportunity for payor contracts for enhanced services.

CPESN Florida is currently comprised of more than 50 participating pharmacies across our state. CPESN Florida requires all participating pharmacies to meet the same minimum standards as set forth by CPESN USA, plus home delivery. The CPESN Florida leadership is comprised of a lead luminary, Theresa Tolle (theresa.tolle@baystreetpharmacy. com), and 12 other network luminaries who are volunteer pharmacists (many are community pharmacy business owners) in the state of Florida.9 The luminaries voluntarily work to grow the network in Florida so that the network can have the opportunity to gain contracts for reimbursement for services provided to complex, higher-risk patients. The mission statement of CPESN Florida is to “optimize patient experience, care and outcomes. We serve as one pharmacy community collaborating with the health-care team to reduce total costs of care”.10 The goals of CPESN Florida include contracting with payors to receive payment for delivered patient-care services; partnering with health-care systems, accountable care organizations and other key stakeholders; and ensuring that our network is the foremost leader in community-based health care. As our network continues to grow in quantity and geographic spread across the state, we are provided opportunities to have meaningful conversations between the network and interested third-party payors for reimbursement for clinical services.

Legislative Days: A Reflection on the Importance of Advocacy By Andres Brito Participating in Legislative Days in Tallahassee as a student pharmacist has been eye opening, to say the least. My dream career has always been being a pharmacist involved in the community. Having had the opportunity to participate in the Florida Pharmacists’ Health Fair and Legislative Days event this past March 11-13 provided me the experience to learn what goes on behind the scenes, with regard to bills and laws that affect the practice. It has shown me that there are infinite ways of becoming involved in the community and making a positive impact in population health by being an advocate. Leading up to Legislative Days, I was working on educational materials and posters that explained the bills that would be discussed at the Capitol and how a pharmacist can be a major force in the improvement of health outcomes for patients with chronic diseases (i.e. hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and obesity and metabolic syndrome) as part of my final Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) rotation with my preceptor, Dr. Garcia (USF College of Pharmacy). One regret of mine is that I was not very involved in many extracurricular activities throughout pharmacy school. I really wanted to change this, especially since I have focused on my interests during this past year of rotations confirming my goal of practicing as a community health provider. I knew I would need to learn how these bills would impact my ability to provide the level of clinical care and services for the community I will serve once I graduate and become licensed. I know this is something I have to continue as it impacts how I plan to practice in the future. Thinking about the opportunity I had being on rotation with the FPA president and in putting in the hours of design and research on workforce, advocacy and patient-care initiatives, I asked if I could join her in Tallahassee for Legislative Days. Her immediate response was, “You have to be a member of the FPA (Florida Pharmacy Association) or FSHP (Florida Society of Health-System Pharmacists) if you want to attend. It’s only $20 to join FPA as a student. You should come!” I immediately became a member from my phone, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was proud of the work that Dr. Garcia and I had done on these posters that would be seen by hundreds of students, pharmacists and legislators, and how they would help communicate our message as community-based care providers during this legislative session. Once I was in Tallahassee and I helped put up our posters on the walls inside of the Capitol and set up for a health fair for the public, I immediately took note of how much I was already helping to make a positive impact for the profession of
pharmacy. As a result of introductions through Dr. Garcia, and the staggering amount of attention that our posters received, I had the opportunity to make amazing connections and networking with many other pharmacists and other professionals that had the ability to sustain and change the future of my profession. My networking consisted of student pharmacists and pharmacists from FPA and FSHP practicing in independent pharmacy settings, institutional and ambulatory practice settings. Along with these pharmacists and other student pharmacists, I lobbied with the state legislators to express our support or opposition on different bills affecting pharmacy practice. This experience has helped me see how much actually goes on behind the scenes and what goes unnoticed at the community/retail pharmacy setting. It reinforces just how important it is for every pharmacist to be involved. Reflecting back on my experiences as a student pharmacist participating in Legislative Days, this decision is one that I will always remember and one that I will always encourage other students to make. Being involved in the legislative procedures that affect the health care of my own community and communities across the state has helped me grow as a professional and has made me want to continue my involvement with the FPA and other professional pharmacy organizations. Through my continued involvement, I hope to further improve and innovate approaches to meeting population health needs, and to inspire and encourage future students to seek extracurricular activities to enhance their education and pharmacy experiences. I learned firsthand what it really means to be a part of The Power of WE. MARCH 2019

129th Annual Meeting and Convention JULY 10–14, 2019 Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa Fort Lauderdale, FL
Keynote Speaker Norman “Hoot� Hooten Dr. Hooten is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army. He has more than 20 years of experience training military special operations and law enforcement personnel and 14 years of experience in Counter-Terrorism operations while serving in the U.S. Army Delta Force. Dr. Hooten has a distinguished service history in joint, combined, interagency and international operations. He was a key contributor to the success of Operation Just Cause in Panama as well as operations in Lebanon, the Balkans, and Operation Restore Hope in Mogadishu, Somalia. As a DELTA Force Assault Team Leader in Somalia he and his teammates played a critical role in the rescue and recovery of the crew members of the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed on October 3rd, 1993. The incident was later the subject of the feature film known as
Black Hawk Down. In August of 2001, Dr. Hooten retired from active duty. He briefly attended Pharmacy School at Campbell University in Buies Creek North Carolina. On September 11th, 2001, Dr. Hooten was recalled from pharmacy school to active service in the US Army. He subsequently played a critical role in the national effort to establish aviation security protocols and served as the National Supervisory Training Coordinator for the Federal Air Marshal Service Global Response Team. In February of 2009 he assumed duties as the Deputy Director of the King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) in Amman, Jordan where he led an international team of subject matter experts in the design and development of protocols, tactics, techniques, and procedures for international counter terrorism operations. He served in this capacity for 3 years. During his Army career, Dr. Hooten realized the impact that pharmacists could have with active duty military and Veterans; he subsequently returned to pharmacy school at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida where he graduated in 2016. Upon graduation, he completed a Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) pharmacy residency at the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center followed by a Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) psychiatric pharmacy resident at the West Palm Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Hooten has a passion for the role pharmacists can play in the management of pain and substance use disorders in Veterans and is committed to having a positive impact in this area of pharmacy practice. After completing his residency training, Dr. Hooten wished to continue to find ways to give back to the Veteran community that has given so much to our great nation. He currently practices at the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center where his primary area of interest is working with Veterans who suffer with chronic service related pain and substance abuse.
