Head to the Hill with us in June as we go to D.C. to speak with our Senator and Congressional representatives about several issues that directly affect patients. This year, it’s vital that we address our concerns with the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) with our respective representation to ensure access to pharmacy compounding continues! It's up to our IACP Membership to ensure that patients and practitioners continue to have access to compounded medications prepared by licensed pharmacists who are following the necessary guidelines and who are helping patients and practitioners with personalized medication solutions each and every day. There currently are several issues with DQSA that we believe could detrimentally affect patients’ access to the compounded medications they need. We are working closely with our Hill representation, federal regulatory agencies, and state boards of pharmacy to ensure that DQSA is enacted as it was intended by Congress.

GENERAL SESSIONS Congressional Ballroom The Drug Quality & Security Act - HR 3204 – Where Are We Today? 8:00-9:00 a.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from MEDISCA. In late November of 2013, Congress enacted HR 3204 - The Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA). This bill reaffirmed the federal authority over certain aspects of compounding as well as created a new classification of federally registered compounders called “outsourcing facilities”. Attendees will get to hear the perspective of a non-voting Industry Representative to the FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC), and learn what is going on in the committee meetings, as well as what is expected to come in the future.

This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid COMPOUNDING from Humco Compounding. Sometimes it isn’t what you say, it’s HOW you say it! While pharmacists are experts in medication management, most of us aren’t the best when it comes to putting our needs and issues into short and concise words and phrases. To better gain the support of legislators at the local, state and federal level, this interactive skill-building session will provide you with the practical skills to get your message across…and obtain the action you want!

Lunch Break and IACP Exhibitor Experience 12:00-2:00 p.m. Grand Ballroom Salons South & Central

Any pharmacist who has worked with veterinarians knows that there are a lot of “we don’t know” answers to questions about which law or which regulation needs to be followed. Many state Boards of Pharmacy defer to their veterinarian equivalent while others apply human prescription compounding rules to the preparation of animal medicines. With the possibility of federal intervention in veterinary compounding through either Congressional or FDA action, having a clear understanding of what's occurring and still needs to be done at the state level is critical.

MEETING AGENDA Sunday, June 7, 2015 A Practitioner’s Perspective on Veterinary Compounding 3:00-4:00 p.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from PCCA. Although the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) of 2013 has provided regulatory assurance for improving the quality of compounds prepared for humans, the DQSA is silent on compounding for non-human patients. Attendees will get to hear various perspectives on the benefits and risks of compounding for animals and describe elements of potential initiatives (legal, educational, organizational) that could improve the quality of compounds prepared for animals. Presented by: Ashley S. Morgan, DVM, American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA); Rachael G. Pontikes, JD, Partner, Duane Morris LLP; Marcy Bliss, President, Wedgewood Pharmacy Program type: Knowledge-Based

Legislative Activities at the State Level 4:00-5:00 p.m. In the past six months, IACP has tracked and worked with state pharmacy associations on more than 50 legislative issues addressing compounding. Some states have addressed office-use, others lethal injections, and still others how to handle 503B outsourcing facilities. This session will examine some of the major trends in state activities as well as an IACP supported effort to address questionable physician/pharmacy marketing schemes that disrupt patient freedom of choice. Presented by: David G. Miller, RPh, Executive Vice President & CEO, IACP; Cynthia E. Blankenship, Esq., Vice President of Government Affairs, IACP; David A. Kosar, MAJ, Independent Consultant Program type: Knowledge-Based

GENERAL SESSIONS

11th Annual Rx Mixer Presents Rewind: Back to the 80s 6:30-Midnight – Renaissance Ballroom $150 per person (includes 2 drink tickets)

Lots of blue eye shadow, acid washed jeans with popped-up shirt collars, fingerless lace gloves, giant hair bows, and layers of beaded necklaces are totally tubular once again for Rewind: Back to the 80s— the theme for IACP Foundation’s 11th Annual Rx Mixer, a fundraising event to be held in conjunction with IACP’s 21st Annual Compounders on Capitol Hill (CCH). Event Co-Chairs, Erin Michael, MBA, CPhT and Richard Harwood, CPhT, with their Live Auction, and Big Board Committees, plan to raise more than $200,000 through sponsorships and the auction to benefit IACP Foundation! Travel back to the place where you uttered slang phrases like “gag me with a spoon,” “like, totally,” “gnarly,” “grody,” “grody to the max,” “rad,” “awesome,” or any combination of these words excessively. If your hairdresser couldn’t stop laughing long enough to actually give you the Flock of Seagulls haircut you wanted. And, if you still know all the dance moves to “Thriller.” You know you belong to the 80s. Our totally awesome guests will be treated to an evening of delicious food and festive cocktails, fellowship, music, dancing, Live Auction, and Big Board. Travel back to the 80s in a themed photo booth or try your luck at the casino tables. Your support of the Rx Mixer will help fund the IACP Foundation’s research and education initiatives! Enjoy fellowship with pharmacists from around the country while benefiting the IACP Foundation. It’s a Party with a Purpose. Like totally. If you’re interested in sponsoring a table, email foundation@iacprx.org.

Congressional Ballroom

Implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

DQSA Update: Your Hill Advocates 9:30-10:30 a.m.

This session will discuss the current status of, and issues concerning, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) required to be issued by the Food and Drug Administration pursuant to the Drug Quality and Security ACT (DQSA). In particular, the session will examine how the MOU will impact state regulation of compounding pharmacies and the collaborative regulatory efforts that will occur between the state boards of pharmacy and the FDA.

Your Congressman and your Senator make the decisions, right? Of course they do. But without the help of hardworking staff to research complex issues, coordinate positions and policy with other offices, and taking input from constituents, those decisions wouldn’t be as well-informed or as clear. This session will feature several Congressional staff members who are directly involved in advocating for compounding pharmacists’ rights and the need for clarification in the Drug Quality and Security Act.

FDA Inspections 2:00-3:00 p.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from MEDISCA. FDA Inspections are happening to compounding pharmacists all the time, and many are finding themselves unprepared and unsure of the process. This session and panel discussion will allow attendees to understand inspection requirements by states and allow pharmacists to proactively maintain ongoing readiness for inspections. Business will benefit from preparation and knowledge in handing inspections, thus resulting in better outcomes. Presented by: Elizabeth Scott (Scotti) Russell, RPh, NABP; Deborah A. Pearce, JD, Deborah A. Pearce, LLC; Linda Cappellini Stizza, RPh, FACA, FIACP, Avella Specialty Pharmacy Program type: Knowledge-Based

What's Going on Legislatively, Judicially, and by Way of Enforcement? A Pharmacy Law Update 3:00-4:00 p.m. This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from MEDISCA. Most pharmacists rely on their professional associations or their Board of Pharmacy to keep them informed and up-to-date about changes in practice acts at the federal and state levels. But did you know that the judicial branch – the court system – also affects pharmacy law? Over the past year, there have been some interesting legal challenges pertaining to pharmacy and pharmaceuticals which directly affect your daily practice. This session will provide an easy-to-understand overview of the key court decisions as well as some of the upcoming cases you need to know about in order to protect your practice and your business.
