Whether you're a pharmacy owner trying to get ahead of the curve or a compliance professional evaluating options, you'll find the answers here.

- [Large Dispensers: Full DSCSA Compliance is Coming](https://prsrx.com/large-dispensers-full-dscsa-compliance-is-coming/): The large dispenser exemption to the Enhanced Drug Distribution Security (EDDS) Requirements of the DSCSA will be eliminated on November 26, 2025, meaning that all large dispensers must be compliant with all DSCSA requirements, including EDDS, as of November 27, 2025. Hopefully, if you are a large dispenser, you have dedicated time over the past year to plan and implement your compliance with the upcoming mandated EDDS Requirements, developing SOPs, employee training, and a means to receive and maintain properly formatted transaction data.
- [Large Dispensers and the 10/9/2024 FDA Announcement Concerning DSCSA](https://prsrx.com/large-dispensers-and-the-10-9-2024-fda-announcement-concerning-dscsa/): On October 9, 2024, the FDA released a notice stating that it is issuing exemptions from specific requirements of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to large dispensers (pharmacies) for those items that are to go into effect on 11/27/2024 to ensure patient access to needed medication.   This exemption will last until November 27, 2025, for those large dispensers who qualify. Before getting into who qualifies as a large dispenser and what areas of DSCSA are covered by the exemption, we want to discuss what is not covered since most of the regulations are in effect today and will continue to be in effect. These existing requirements also take up most of the time spent on DSCSA Compliance. Although the exempted requirements simplify and streamline compliance, they require process changes and additional software.
- [DSCSA Exemption for Pharmacies and the 6/12/2024 FDA Announcement](https://prsrx.com/small-dispensers-and-the-6-12-2024-fda-announcement-concerning-dscsa/): The DSCSA Adventure continues. On June 12, 2024, the FDA released a notice stating that it is issuing exemptions from specific requirements of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to small dispensers (pharmacies) to go into effect on 11/27/2024 to ensure patient access.   The exemption will last until November 27, 2026, for those small dispensers who qualify. Before getting into who qualifies as a small dispenser and what areas of DSCSA are covered by the exemption, we want to discuss what is not covered by the exemption since the vast majority of the regulations are in effect today and will continue to be in effect. These existing requirements also take up most of the time spent on DSCSA Compliance. Although the exempted requirements simplify and streamline compliance, they require process changes and additional software.
- [DSCSA: Protecting Your Patients from Illegitimate Medication](https://prsrx.com/dscsa-protecting-your-patients-from-illegitimate-medication/): We have been on a roll with DSCSA Blogs and Webinars over the past year. So, why not continue this trend by focusing on one of the main goals of DSCSA: protecting patients from medication that may be counterfeit, stolen, contaminated, or otherwise harmful.
- [DSCSA: When a Delay is Not a Delay](https://prsrx.com/dscsa-when-a-delay-is-not-a-delay/): At the tail end of August, the FDA released the Enhanced Drug Distribution Security Requirements Under Section 582(g)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Compliance Policies) Guidance Document, where they announced they did not plan to take action to enforce various aspects of the Enhanced Drug Distribution Security (EDDS) requirements (582(g)) of the DSCSA until 11/27/2024 (See Table 2 below for a list of these EDDS Requirements). This Guidance did not affect the existing requirements currently in place today under the DSCSA Requirements (See Table 1 below for a list of the current requirements).
- [Drilling Down into The Enhanced Drug Distribution System (EDDS) Requirements](https://prsrx.com/drilling-down-into-the-enhanced-drug-distribution-system-edds-requirements/): In four months, the Enhanced Drug Distribution System (EDDS) requirements of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) will go into effect. The EDDS changes the fundamentals of some existing DSCSA provisions that Pharmacies are required to comply with now, which we will discuss in addition to the upcoming EDDS requirements.
- [DSCSA Update: HDA’s Letter To The FDA](https://prsrx.com/important-dscsa-flash-message/): Pharmacy Owners, Groups & Organizations,
- [DSCSA Requirements Now and Future](https://prsrx.com/dscsa-requirements-now-and-future/): The final requirements for DSCSA will go into effect on 11/27/2023, but did you know most DSCSA regulations are already in effect, and Pharmacies must follow them now? The Authorized Training Partners (ATP), Product Identifier, Product Tracing, and Verification sections of DSCSA are already in place and have many requirements for Pharmacy. The final requirement, Enhanced Drug Distribution Security (EDDS), will go into effect on 11/27/2023, bringing new requirements to the table and tweaking some existing requirements.
- [6 Reasons PRS Pharmacy Services is the Best Resource for Selling a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/6-reasons-prs-pharmacy-services-is-the-best-resource-for-selling-a-pharmacy/): If you're considering selling your pharmacy, PRS Pharmacy Services is the best resource for providing expert guidance and support throughout the entire process. Here are several reasons why PRS Pharmacy Services is the best resource for selling your pharmacy:
- [What is an Authorized Trading Partner in DSCSA?](https://prsrx.com/what-is-an-authorized-trading-partner-in-dscsa/): By now, you should be familiar with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). It has been with us since 2013 and has, for the most part, already been in effect for pharmacies since 2015.  And now we have the “last” phase of the law, Electronic Drug Distribution Security (EDDS) (see our Electronic Drug Distribution Security System Blog for information about EDDS), becoming effective on 11/24/2023.  So in the next few blogs, I want to discuss some of the key aspects already in place that you need to be compliant with, especially since it is expected we will see an increase in the number of audits coming from the FDA, State Boards, other regulators, and even PBMs. In this blog, we will be talking about Authorized Trading Partners (ATPs), ensuring the U.S. Drug Supply Chain and complying with the DSCSA starts here for pharmacies.
- [5 Myths About Pharmacy DSCSA Compliance](https://prsrx.com/5-myths-about-pharmacy-dscsa-compliance/): The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) is a federal law that was enacted in 2013 to protect the public from counterfeit, contaminated, and other potentially dangerous drugs in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The DSCSA requires pharmaceutical companies to implement enhanced security measures and traceability systems to ensure the authenticity and safety of prescription drugs. As part of this effort, the law requires Pharmacies or dispensers, as Pharmacies are referred to under DSCSA, to comply with certain requirements.
- [Comprehensive Safe Medication Practices](https://prsrx.com/comprehensive-safe-medication-practices/): Quick blog this time. Over the past several years, we have seen more and more requests from our pharmacy members looking for "Comprehensive Safe Medications Practices" or "Medication Safety Practices." These requests are typically arising during the credentialing process with PBMs. In general, the PBMs are looking for how you ensure the medication you are dispensing is "safe" for the patient. Ultimately safe medication practices start before you even order the medication from the wholesaler/manufacturer and end at the point the patient receives the correct medication, including:
- [PRS Pharmacy Services Announces Commitment to Growing Global Cybersecurity Success by Becoming a Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022 Champion](https://prsrx.com/cybersecurity-awareness-month-2022/): Building on annual success Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022 is set to highlight the growing importance of cybersecurity in our daily lives and look to empower everyday individuals and business to take cybersecurity steps by making cyber more accessible
- [Enhanced Drug Distribution Security System](https://prsrx.com/enhanced-drug-distribution-security-system/): In the last blog, we discussed the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Today we want to discuss the change that is effective on 11/27/2023, the Enhanced Drug Distribution Security (EDDS). We will review what is in place today and how that will change as part of EDDS.
- [Drug Supply Chain Security Act in Pharmacy: Today and Tomorrow](https://prsrx.com/drug-supply-chain-security-act-in-pharmacy-today-and-tomorrow/): The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) has been with us for almost nine years as part of the FDA's Plan to protect the U.S. drug supply chain. The culmination of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act will reach its final implementation goal in November 2023. On 11/27/2023, all trading partners (Manufacturers, Wholesalers, and Dispensers (including Pharmacies) will need to begin using an "Enhanced Drug Distribution Security System." However, before we talk about that, let's talk about what you need to be doing today. While this blog covers many aspects of the current and future DSCSA requirements, it is essential to understand that some items were left out to keep this blog short and sweet. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-338-3688.
- [HIPAA Is Not Just About Training](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-is-not-just-about-training/): PRS still receives many questions from non HIPAATrack Members about whether written (or electronic) Policies and Procedures are required for their Pharmacy business. These questions have typically come from Pharmacies that have purchased a Training Program or Continuing Education, or they may have received a “free” “HIPAA Program” from their wholesaler or other entity. These Training Programs,  CEs and “free” Programs typically do not include actual Policies and Procedures to implement by the Pharmacy, making them effectively useless as far as HIPAA Regulations are concerned and thus a huge liability to these Pharmacies. HIPAA requires training on the policies and procedures implemented at a Pharmacy. General Training Programs, CEs, and many “free” Programs do not meet this requirement for compliance.
- [Red Flags and Controlled Drugs](https://prsrx.com/red-flags-and-controlled-drugs/): The vast majority of Pharmacies are dispensing controlled substances in compliance with the DEA and State Regulations. However, we regularly hear about a Pharmacy, prescriber, wholesaler, or manufacturer in the news breaking those regulations and trying to circumvent public safety for profit. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is winding down , we are once again starting to see a focus on the public health emergency of drug addiction and abuse. Here at PRS, we get questions from Pharmacy Owners about what they should do to ensure their Pharmacy is appropriately receiving, handling, storing, dispensing, and training employees related to controlled substances. In this blog, we will go over some of the items Pharmacies should be doing. This blog is not meant to be a complete manual on Controlled Substances in the Pharmacy, but we will cover just those areas we receive the most questions and concerns.
- [The POCT Opportunity in Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/the-poct-opportunity-in-pharmacy/): Another winter is quickly approaching, and Pharmacies have the opportunity to help their communities by becoming credentialed to provide CLIA-waived testing. As we already know, Pharmacies are the most accessible health care providers, with some patients already coming to us several times a month for prescriptions, over-the-counter medication, and vaccination needs. The next step is to provide point of care testing (POCT), whether for Flu and Strep or an entire testing suite. With that in mind and holidays approaching, this will be a short and sweet blog addressing POCT to detect viral or bacterial infections.
- [Things to Think About When It Comes to Protecting Your Pharmacy Infrastructure](https://prsrx.com/things-to-think-about-when-it-comes-to-protecting-your-pharmacy-infrastructure/): You cannot go more than a day or two without hearing about another cyber attack in the United States. More importantly for pharmacy owners, Health Care has become a frequent target for phishing and ransomware attacks.  These can devastate an organization, so protecting your pharmacy infrastructure is critical, but have you ever stopped to think about what that protection encompasses?   In this blog, we want to cover some essential areas that need to be addressed to ensure your compliance with HIPAA, PCI, and consumer data regulations, along with your general ability to operate "safely" on a day-to-day basis.  As you will see, there are many things to think about when it comes to protecting your pharmacy infrastructure from a security standpoint, so let's jump right in.
- [Pharmacies and Medicare Part B](https://prsrx.com/pharmacies-and-medicare-part-b/): Pharmacies need to be looking at some of their options for becoming a Medicare Part B Provider/Supplier as a large part of the United States population are becoming Medicare Beneficiaries.  This blog will discuss four practice areas payable by Medicare Part B that Pharmacies need to consider to diversify and increase profits.  These areas are:
- [Ten Steps to Selling a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/ten-steps-to-selling-a-pharmacy/): Here are the ten basic steps in the selling process and the estimated completion time and documents needed for each step.
- [HIPAA Access to Records](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-access-to-records/): In this blog, we will discuss one of the "rights" that HIPAA gives individuals concerning their medical records. HIPAA provides the individual with the right to access their records in a "timely" fashion.  While not the most cumbersome act in many Pharmacies, the request from patients to access their records is something Pharmacies must respond to in a quick and timely fashion.
- [Preparing Your Pharmacy for Point of Care Testing](https://prsrx.com/preparing-your-pharmacy-for-point-of-care-testing/): “Point-of-care testing services are anticipated to surpass immunizations to drive revenue. Pressure from payers to detect high-cost diseases early will help speed up the growth of pharmacy-based diagnostic screening services. (https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/us/Documents/risk/us-risk-deloitte-retail-health-and-wellness.pdf)”
- [Pharmacy Self-Audits: Preventing PBMs From Taking Back Monies](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-self-audits-preventing-pbms-from-taking-back-monies/): Pharmacies deal with the threat of PBMs clawing back money daily.  Fortunately, many audits resulting in the clawback of monies can be prevented by proactive activities, training, and overall employee understanding.  These activities start before the prescription is filled and dispensed and continue after the patient walks out the door. These activities mean more work, but it is work that you and your employees need to be considering as you are filling potentially high audit risk medication.  I do not want to claim this is a simple process or that the PBMs will not change the game with another scheme not to pay Pharmacies.
- [Common HIPAA Issues – Part 3: Policies and Procedures](https://prsrx.com/common-hipaa-issues-part-3/): HIPAA Policies and Procedures are the foundation of your Pharmacy’s overall HIPAA Compliance and employee Training.  Policies and Procedures also happen to be one of the items most often found to be missing, incomplete, or not up-to-date during investigations conducted by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
- [Pharmacy Vaccination Programs](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-vaccination-programs/): This time around, we wanted to talk about vaccine administration in Pharmacy. Pharmacies have been providing vaccinations for decades now (depending on your State).  In this time, many Pharmacies have implemented this into their workflow with relative ease.  Those were the good old pre-COVID-19 days. With the COVID-19 Vaccinator Provider Agreements and Pharmacies starting to receive the COVID-19 Vaccines, we are starting to receive more and more questions from Pharmacies about what they need to be doing to protect themselves and be compliant with their general State rules and their agreements.  These questions can typically fall into one of the areas we want to discuss below.  It is important to understand the below is a general outline and should be compared to your State Rules and any agreements you may have in place.
- [Pharmacy Technician Immunization Administration](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-technician-immunization-administration/): After our last blog on PRS Partners with NPTA to Expand Independent Pharmacies Role in Delivering COVID-19 Vaccines and Testing Services (12/14/2020) (link below), we wanted to go over the general requirements outlined in the Department of Health and Human Services Guidance.
- [PRS Partners with NPTA to Expand Independent Pharmacies Role in Delivering COVID-19 Vaccines and Testing Services](https://prsrx.com/prs-partners-with-npta-delivering-covid-19-vaccines-and-testing-services/): LATROBE, PA,  December 11, 2020 – PRS Pharmacy Services has partnered with the National Pharmacy Technician Association (NPTA) to help independent pharmacies expand their reach in delivering COVID-19 vaccines and administering point-of-care tests, such as COVID-19 testing. Under the new partnership, NPTA’s flat-rate offering now includes three nationally recognized programs for pharmacy technicians: an Immunization Administration Training Program, a Point-of-Care Testing Program and a Basic Life Support Certification.
- [How to Open a New Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/how-to-open-start-up-a-new-independent-pharmacy/): Opening an Independent Pharmacy from scratch is a challenging process. From choosing your location to forming a business entity, there’s much consider. In this article, we break down the steps you should follow when starting a Pharmacy, and provide you with information on the costs of opening a Pharmacy both legally and efficiently.
- [Does your Pharmacy Need an Exposure Control Plan?](https://prsrx.com/does-your-pharmacy-need-an-exposure-control-plan/): What is exposure control?
- [How to Value a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/how-to-value-a-pharmacy/): If I were to sell my Pharmacy, how much would I get? How do I determine the Pharmacy’s selling price? All similar questions with the same answer: you need a Pharmacy Valuation to determine the fair market value for your Pharmacy.  The fair market value is like the appraisal of a house or non-Pharmacy business.  An Independent Pharmacy Valuation gives you a very good idea of the Pharmacy’s value. The actual selling price is dependent on several other factors that will be covered later in this blog.
- [How to Sell a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/how-to-sell-a-pharmacy/): Take a few deep breaths and remember selling your pharmacy can be a stressful process and you need to be as prepared as possible going in. Missing one of the critical steps or small details could cost you and the buyer money and time. In this article we will cover the ten basic steps in the selling process to give you an idea of what to expect. By no means is this meant to be a comprehensive guide to selling a pharmacy. It would be impossible to address a complete list of the many details involved in selling a pharmacy in one article so we’ll just focus on an overview of what you can expect in the process to give you the best idea of how long it might take, what you should prepare for and steps you can take now.
- [Does Your Pharmacy Compliance Program Meet Requirements?](https://prsrx.com/does-your-pharmacy-compliance-program-meet-requirements/): Compliance is a confusing issue for many pharmacy owners. It is made even more confusing when each compliance company says they are the best, most affordable, etc. Thus, how does a pharmacy owner with limited time decide what company to choose?
- [HIPAA Breach Leads to Another HIPAA Investigation and Settlement](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-breach-leads-to-another-hipaa-investigation-and-settlement/): HIPAA Compliance can take time and money, but a breach will cost you even more money through governmental fines and in repairing the reputation and trust you may have lost with your patients and community.  In some cases, you may also have to pay for identity theft monitoring, if the information exposed could be used to steal an individual’s identity – and this would be needed for each patient whose data was breached.
- [What Not To Do When Valuing a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/what-not-to-do-when-valuing-a-pharmacy/): Finding the value of a pharmacy is not like appraising any other business.  Pharmacy businesses are unique, as are the processes and formulas by which they are appraised.  Only experienced pharmacy valuation professionals should be determining what your life’s work is worth, but how do you know who to trust?
- [Pharmacy Appraisal Normalization: Finding the Real Value of a Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-appraisal-normalization-critical-step-finding-real-value-pharmacy/): The goal of any pharmacy owner come tax time is to get their net income as low as possible to save on payments to Uncle Sam. Things listed as tax write offs are normal and every business does this including pharmacies so there is no shame in this game. It is a great idea, except when it comes time to find the real value of the pharmacy for sale.  Having these items in the mix lowers the income for the pharmacy, making the pharmacy appear less profitable and in some cases unsellable. Therefore, it is critical before the valuation process to “normalize” the pharmacy’s income. Simply put, normalization is removing costs that a new owner will not have.  The normalized income will show what the “real” net income would be for the new owner. When doing this process it is important to carefully document and explain each cost removed so the new net income can be substantiated to a potential buyer and funding sources. Here are a few examples of some of those items to normalize:
- [I Want to Open a New Pharmacy But How Can I Know if it Will Be Successful?](https://prsrx.com/i-want-to-open-a-new-pharmacy-how-can-i-know-if-it-will-be-successful/): The only way to ensure you are making a smart business choice to open a new pharmacy in a specific location is to have a pharmacy feasibility study conducted by a professional. They will collect and utilize the right data to determine the probable success of a new pharmacy in that specific location. Once you have their feasibility study report, you have credible information to make a rational financial decision as to whether opening your dream pharmacy in that location makes sense. Plus, you will need a feasibility study to acquire any financing anyway so you’re killing two birds with one stone so to speak.
- [Selling to a Chain is the Easy Road to Big Bucks, Right. Not So Fast.](https://prsrx.com/selling-to-a-chain-is-the-easy-road-to-big-bucks/): No doubt, you have spent countless hours building, nurturing and realizing your dream of being a pharmacy owner. Over the years, you and the pharmacy became part of your community. It’s your legacy. If you sell your pharmacy to a chain, the legacy ends. Are you prepared for that? What about the rest of the dedicated staff who helped you build the pharmacy business? Pharmacy chains will not hire most of them.  What about your loyal and trusting customers? How does selling to a chain affect them?
- [Point of Care Testing in Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/point-of-care-testing-in-pharmacy/): Let's talk about starting a CLIA-Waived Point of Care Testing Program in a Pharmacy setting to diversify your services and bring additional revenue as third parties continually lower reimbursements and we see continual DIR creep.  In most cases, your POCT will be a cash service, but CMS and privacy payers may pay for these services. Depending on your State, the Pharmacist can order these Tests and, in some cases, actually prescribe medication (or alter medications that have already been prescribed) based on Collaborative Practice Agreements (or similar) based on the Test results.
- [I Want to Own an Independent Retail Pharmacy: Where Do I Start?](https://prsrx.com/own-an-independent-retail-pharmacy-where-do-i-start/): So you want to own an independent retail pharmacy but you’re not certain where to begin? Owning an independent retail pharmacy is not like owning just any business, there are many factors to weigh and consider that make owning a pharmacy business a unique and challenging experience.
- [Pharmacy Can Now Temporarily Enroll as an Independent Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory with Medicare](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-can-temporarily-enroll-as-an-independent-clinical-diagnostic-laboratory/): Attention CLIA Certified Pharmacies: Over ten thousand Pharmacies have a CLIA Certificate of Waiver.  Most of these Pharmacies have been providing CLIA waived testing as a cash service only, increasing revenue and helping to offset dropping reimbursements and DIRS. But earlier this month,  CMS issued an MLN Matters Article allowing Pharmacies with CLIA Certification already enrolled in Medicare to fast-track a temporary enrollment as an independent clinical diagnostic laboratory to help combat the spread of COVID-19 during the public health emergency. Pharmacies will need to contact their Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) via phone and provide them with the following information:
- [HIPAA and the CARES Act](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-and-the-cares-act/): We wanted to write a short blog post today to cover the HIPAA and the CARES Act.
- [COVID-19 and Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/covid-19-and-pharmacy/): COVID-19.  We all know what it is by now – no need to explain further.  For specific information about COVID-19 from the experts, please visit the CDC website, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
- [Common HIPAA Issues – Part 2: Breaches](https://prsrx.com/common-hipaa-issues-breaches/): The next area we want to discuss is breaches – the cause of most audits.  Almost all covered entities may at some point face a breach in the privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI). Ultimately, by ensuring you have enacted the appropriate policies and procedures, performed your risk analysis and management plan, developed appropriate technical and physical safeguards, and trained your employees, you are doing all you can to prevent these breaches from occurring and in turn preempt any HIPAA issue regarding breach in a pharmacy.
- [Common HIPAA Issues for Pharmacies – Part 1: Training](https://prsrx.com/common-hipaa-issues-training/): If not already trained, pharmacies must train employees (and other workforce members, such as interns) as soon as reasonably possible.  Moreover HIPAA requires that all concerned employees undergo the most upgraded training whenever the regulations are updated or modified. Additionally, pharmacies must maintain proof of training and copies of the training materials for no less than six years. A properly designed training curriculum with regular refreshers or renewal training will ensure your employees understand their responsibilities and your policies and procedures, reducing the likelihood of breaches, common HIPAA issues for pharmacies, and complaints – all of which minimize the likelihood of audits.

Also note that Windows 8’s “end of life” will occur in January 2023.
- [USP <800> | The Independent Pharmacist’s Guide – Part 2: Does My Pharmacy Need to Comply?](https://prsrx.com/usp800-independent-pharmacists-guide-does-my-pharmacy-need-to-comply/): If you own or manage a pharmacy, you’ve probably heard about USP <800>, the newest chapter issued by the United States Pharmacopoeial Convention. Although USP guidelines typically apply to compounding pharmacies and drug manufacturers, USP <800> guidelines apply to any facility which handles hazardous drugs; if you own or operate a pharmacy, that means YOU.
- [USP <800> | The Independent Pharmacist’s Guide – Part 1: What Is USP <800>?](https://prsrx.com/usp800-the-independent-pharmacists-guide-part-1/): What is USP 800? If you own or manage a pharmacy, you’ve probably heard about the USP 800, the newest chapter issued by the United States Pharmacopoeial Convention. Although USP guidelines typically apply to compounding pharmacies and drug manufacturers, the USP 800 guidelines apply to any facility which handles hazardous drugs; so if you own or operate a pharmacy, these rules apply to you.
- [FDA Issues Warning Letter to McKesson for Shipping ‘illegitimate’ Opiates](https://prsrx.com/fda-issues-warning-letter-to-drug-distributor-mckesson-for-allegedly-shipping-illegitimate-opioid-products/): The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it has sent a warning letter to drug distributor McKessson for allegedly shipping “illegitimate” opioid products and failing to properly handle and investigate the incidents.
- [The Unsung Role of the Pharmacist in Patient Health](https://prsrx.com/the-unsung-role-of-the-pharmacist-in-patient-health/): We know many people end up with a risky pileup of prescribed medications. Many efforts have been made, with varied success, to correct this problem. Yet we’ve usually focused on physician behavior, when there’s another powerful lever: pharmacists. They not only provide prescription drugs and refills but also play an important role in several aspects of healthcare, which is why pharmacists are so needed. Moreover, they come into closer and more frequent physical contact with patients than the physicians themselves. It is this indispensable but unsung role that pharmacists play in influencing patient health that this article explores. About 30 percent of older adults in the United States and Canada filled a prescription in the last few years for one of many medications that the American Geriatrics Society recommends they avoid. Such drugs can lead to more harm — like cognitive impairment or falls — than good, and often safer options are available. “Older adults are taking an awful lot of pills these days — 66 percent take five drugs or more per day, and 27 percent take 10 or more per day — so if some of those pills are no longer necessary and may even be causing harm, why not ask if it is time to deprescribe?” said Dr. Cara Tannenbaum, a professor of medicine and pharmacy at the University of Montreal, and director of the Canadian Deprescribing Network. It’s not easy to get patients off such drugs, though. Physicians often don’t have enough information about what patients are taking, or may lack the time to talk to patients about these medications. They fear that stopping the drugs might cause harm or make patients upset. To explore the possible role of pharmacists, Dr. Tannenbaum conducted a large randomized controlled trial over four years in community pharmacies in Quebec. The results of the study were recently published in JAMA. Patients 65 years or older were randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the intervention group, pharmacists gave both patients and their physicians educational materials on the specific drug that might have been inappropriately prescribed. Such brochures could be delivered by mail or in person. The control group got the usual care, with no educational materials. Drugs that were targets for deprescribing included sedatives, first-generation antihistamines, glyburide (used to treat diabetes), and certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen or naproxen. The main outcome of interest was the ending of a prescription for one of the four medication classes six months later. Almost 500 patients, average age 75, participated in the trial, and about 90 percent of them completed it. The intervention made a difference. Within six months, 43 percent of the patients in the intervention group had stopped taking one of the selected medicines. The corresponding figure was 12 percent in the control group. In medicine, we often focus on the traditional doctor/patient interaction. We tend to ignore practitioners who come into contact with patients more than physicians, who in this case could hand over brochures personally. In the study, pharmacists were also paid to send information to the patients’ doctors ($19 Canadian, equivalent to $14 American, per physician outreach). Similar studies trying to enlist pharmacists are rare, but not unknown. In a 1996 study in the American Journal of Medicine that randomly assigned 208 patients, half of them had a pharmacist in a Veterans Affairs Medical Center review their medications and make recommendations to their physician. This resulted in improvements in prescriptions in 24 percent of patients versus 6 percent in usual care. A 1998 study published in JAMA encouraged pharmacists to contact physicians by alerts when they were employing drugs that were not ideal in the care of older people. They were able to reach physicians just over half the time and saw changes in prescriptions about a quarter of the time. (another indication of why pharmacists are so needed). This was not a controlled trial, however. A 2014 study in JAMA Internal Medicine focused on direct-to-consumer educational materials from pharmacists to reduce inappropriate benzodiazepine prescriptions for older people. It worked 27 percent of the time compared with 5 percent in usual care. A 2001 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal focused on messages sent to physicians only, and found no significant changes. Dr. Tannenbaum, author of the recent JAMA study, thought that communication was essential to her project’s results: “We first asked primary care providers what information they needed to safely deprescribe patients’ medications,” she said. “Based on the physicians’ answers, we provided pharmacists with a template on how best to communicate the evidence about deprescribing to physicians. When pharmacists equipped patients with the same information, applied specifically to medications the patient had been taking for a while, everyone was on board and keen to initiate a conversation.” If anything, it explains why pharmacists are so needed, not only for dispensing medications but also for helping deprescribe them. Of course, this study took place in Canada, and pharmacists’ scope of practice may differ in parts of the United States. The pharmacists were also reimbursed for physician contact, which might not occur in the United States. Pharmacists have seen increases in their scope, especially with respect to contraception in Oregon and California, which tend to be supported by patients as well. Much like another recent study involving barbershops (and pharmacists), this study provides evidence that seemingly intractable problems can be overcome by expanding the focus of our interventions. There are many more professionals involved in health care besides physicians. They can help make health care better. Why Pharmacists Are So Needed - Evolving Role in Healthcare With a predominant shift towards sedentary lifestyles and subsistence on fast-food diets, the demands on the healthcare system have significantly increased over the last few decades. With a rising number of health challenges, humanity’s dependence on drugs and healthcare products is ever increasing and with it, the role of pharmacists in particular has evolved to encompass a broader range of responsibilities. Today pharmacists are integral to the health care system as they come into greater contact with patients than doctors and nurses, leading them to perform more patient care activities. They play a crucial part in not only dispensing medications but also in educating, counseling, and monitoring patients. They not only manage the supply of medications but also conduct preventive care screenings and provide immunization services, among a host of other duties.  With their increasing accessibility and trustworthiness, pharmacists are able to drive better health outcomes as they educate patients about possible drug interactions and guide them on the right medication dosage and use. They facilitate low-cost, easily accessible, convenient, and high-quality healthcare delivery in all settings, no matter how remote or rural. With the mounting epidemics and health crises, their role will continually grow larger in both, scope and significance.  By Aaron E. Carroll Aaron E.

- [Why Choose Independents Over Chains](https://prsrx.com/4-reasons-to-support-independent-pharmacies/): We know there is a need to continue to support small independently owned businesses. Did you know that for every $100 you spend at a locally owned and operated business almost $96 goes back into the local economy?
- [U.S. based United Investment Healthcare Group signs agreement on trust management of Uzbekistan’s Dori-Darmon](https://prsrx.com/united-investment-healthcare-group-signs-agreement-uzbekistan-dori-darmon/): The State Assets Management Center under the State Committee of Uzbekistan on Assistance to Privatized Enterprises and Development of Competition and the American company United Investment Healthcare Group signed an agreement on the transfer of the Dori-Darmon pharmaceutical company to trust management for a period of five years.
- [Medicare Compliance for Refills](https://prsrx.com/medicare-compliance-for-refills/): Are you Billing Medicare Part B for Blood Glucose Testing Supplies and other items that are refilled on a recurring basis?
- [Medicare Audits Are On the Rise](https://prsrx.com/medicare-audits-are-on-the-rise/): In recent Medicare Audits, over 80% of glucose testing supplies and nearly 70% of nebulizer and nebulizer solutions claims were denied.  This resulted in BILLIONS of dollars being recouped from Medicare suppliers and providers.
- [HIPAA Readiness Wrap-Up](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-readiness-wrap-up/): So, just a few months ago, I let you all know that HIPAA was back in the news with new court rulings, enforcement activities and how future HIPAA Audits would be occurring proactively (instead of reacting to breaches and complaints). Since then we have taken a long journey together to go over some of the items that need to be in place and happen on a daily basis, so that your pharmacy is HIPAA ready. We also looked at what you, as a pharmacy owner, need to do if certain things were to happen within your facility.
- [HIPAA Compliance Policies and Procedures](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-compliance-policies-and-procedures/): We have been talking HIPAA Readiness for a little over a month now and I hope that it is helping you to realize you can't afford to ignore HIPAA Compliance, or put your program on a shelf.  Our final topic before we sum it all up is another HIPAA basic, policies and procedures.
- [Notice of Privacy Practices](https://prsrx.com/notice-of-privacy-practices/): We have taken a long journey in this HIPAA Readiness series, so let's not forget the basics.
- [HITECH Requirements for Business Associate Agreements](https://prsrx.com/hitech-requirements-for-business-associate-agreements/): We’ve all been taught that sharing is good. In 21st century healthcare, sharing data is essential. But, it’s also a bit worrisome. Criminals can do a lot of harm with stolen patient health information (PHI), so the laws protecting PHI disclosed by Health Care Providers were strengthened through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) in 2009. Further strengthening occurred to all aspects of the HIPAA Rules and Regulations in January of 2013 with the release of Omnibus HIPAA Rulemaking.
- [Save Your Electronic PHI](https://prsrx.com/save-your-electronic-phi/): When I started this blog series on HIPAA Readiness, I had no idea that real life was going to play such a big role in my posts! After telling, you why HIPAA readiness is such a big deal right now, how to handle possible breaches, and how you, as a pharmacy owner are responsible for your employees' actions when it comes to HIPAA, a major pipe burst and “rained on our parade.” We didn’t see that coming, but we were sufficiently prepared to march on.
- [A Good Disaster Recovery Plan is Essential to Your Pharmacy Business](https://prsrx.com/good-disaster-recovery-plan-is-essential-to-your-pharmacy-business/): We hadn’t expected a deluge from above, but we created our Disaster Recovery Plan / Contingency Plan years ago and when the flood occurred it was implemented. We understood our operations and our needs based on the risk analysis we had performed. In the risk analysis stage, we were able to identify our critical systems and identified all of the threats and vulnerability that existed to our operations. This allowed us to ensure we had the proper policies, technical safeguards and an effective Disaster Recovery Plan / Contingency Plan to protect the important data stored on our computers. Performing a detailed, well-considered risk analysis is a requirement of HIPAA. Every covered entity is responsible for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the electronic protected health information (ePHI) it holds. You must imagine what might endanger your ePHI and put safety measures in place.
- [Did You Know, You Are Responsible if an Employee Commits a Violation of HIPAA?](https://prsrx.com/you-are-responsible-if-employee-commits-violation-hipaa/): Over the past few weeks, we have been exploring HIPAA, which has made its way back into the news. We have talked about how computer viruses and malware can be dangerous to Protected Health Information (PHI) on your network and what to do when you think you have a breach. But we’re compelled to ask: Do you also know that you are responsible if an employee commits a violation of HIPAA? 
- [Reporting Breaches, Notifying Patients & Risk Assessment](https://prsrx.com/reporting-breaches-notifying-patients-risk-assessment/): Uh-oh! You believe there’s been a breach in your HIPAA security. Keep Calm & Do a Risk Assessment. The federal government requires different actions depending on the nature of the information compromised and the number of people affected. So, first, find out how bad the situation is.
- [HIPAA Has Returned](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-has-returned/): Recently, HIPAA has made its way back into the news with new court rulings on regulations and enforcement. I was asked to write an article for the February issue of NCPA’s America's Pharmacist explaining the impact of the rulings on the pharmacy industry. If you are an NCPA member, be sure to read Thin Ice Ahead: Four Rulings That Increase Your HIPAA Liability. If you aren’t a member, notify us via email at prsinfo@prsrx.com to request a PDF copy.
- [Seven Necessities for Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Compliance](https://prsrx.com/seven-necessities-fraud-waste-abuse-compliance/): The Affordable Care Act spelled out seven elements you need in your fraud, waste, and abuse program:
- [HIPAA Cautionary Tales](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-cautionary-tales/): Mobile devices, full of unencrypted records, are being stolen. A USB drive was taken from the car of an Alaska Department of Health and Social Services employee. Thieves took a laptop from a Concentra Health Services facility in Missouri and from a QCA Health Plan employee’s car in Arkansas. “’Covered entities and business associates must understand that mobile device security is their obligation,’ said Susan McAndrew, OCR’s deputy director of health information privacy. ‘Our message…is simple: encryption is your best defense against these incidents.’” Penalties on these violations totaled $3,675,220.
- [HIPAA Compliance: You’ve Got to Be More Careful](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-compliance-you-have-to-be-more-careful/): I’m sure you’ve heard about the million-dollar settlements that Rite Aid and CVS paid for HIPAA violations.
- [Pharmacy Compliance Shouldn’t be a Nightmare](https://prsrx.com/pharmacy-compliance-should-not-be-nightmare/): It can be overwhelming, but myself and my Director of Compliance wrote an article for the October 2014 America’s Pharmacist that summarizes the latest changes and the most important issues with pharmacy compliance. NCPA members can click here to visit the archives and read "Compliance: It Doesn’t Have to Be a Nightmare.” These are the topics they highlighted:
- [Compliance and Your Pharmacy](https://prsrx.com/compliance-and-your-pharmacy/): With the scheduling of more and more government auditing, it is even more important to be organized and compliant with Fraud, Waste and Abuse, HIPAA, Quality Assurance, and Pseudoephedrine regulations. You must document your monthly check of the exclusion lists and keep all of your licenses and certifications up-to-date. With these audits come steep fines if the pharmacy is found to be out of compliance.
- [HIPAA Training for Employees](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-training-for-employees/): If you have been following along with my latest blog posts, you saw that when the OCR performed their Pilot Program for HIPAA audits, one of the areas where providers tend to be the most non-compliant is in the area of employee training.
- [Omnibus HIPAA and How it Impacts You – Part 3](https://prsrx.com/omnibus-hipaa-impacts-part3/): We have discussed the facts about the changes to the HIPAA laws and tackled some of the specific changes and issues that you, as pharmacy owners, need to review within your current HIPAA Compliance Program.  However, you may be still asking yourself, “In all the years I've been in business, no one has ever come to review my HIPAA policies or look at my Disaster Recovery Plan, so why should I worry about the Omnibus HIPAA Final Rule?”
- [Omnibus HIPAA and How it Impacts You – Part 2](https://prsrx.com/omnibus-hipaa-impact-part2/): In my last blog post, I informed you of changes to HIPAA and how it will be enforced.
- [Omnibus HIPAA Compliance and How it Impacts You](https://prsrx.com/omnibus-hipaa-compliance-impact/): In case you haven’t heard, substantial changes to HIPAA regulations, enforcement, and penalties—with the catchy name of HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule—went into effect last March. September 23, 2013, is the day your pharmacy must be compliant with the new regulations. But, don’t panic, and don’t listen to consultants who try to scare you.
- [HIPAA Compliance Can No Longer Be Ignored](https://prsrx.com/hipaa-compliance-can-no-longer-be-ignored/): Can you believe that it has been almost a decade since the HIPAA laws were put into effect?
