It's just smart to take good care of your skinThe need to protect your skin from the sun has become very clear over the years, supported by several studies linking overexposure to the sun with skin cancer. The harmful ultraviolet rays from both the sun and indoor tanning “sunlamps” can cause many other complications besides skin cancer - such as eye problems, a weakened immune system, age spots, wrinkles, and leathery skin.

How to protect your skinThere are simple, everyday steps you can take to safeguard your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun.

Wear proper clothing. Wearing clothing that will protect your skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is very important. Protective clothing are long-sleeved shirts and pants are good examples. Also, remember to protect your head and eyes with a hat and UV-resistant sunglasses. You can fall victim to sun damage on a cloudy day as well as in the winter, so dress accordingly all year round.

Avoid the burn. Sunburns significantly increase one's lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. It is especially important that children be kept from sunburns as well.

Go for the shade. Stay out of the sun, if possible, between the peak burning hours, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. You can head for the shade, or make your own shade with protective clothing - including a broad-brimmed hat, for example.

Use extra caution when near reflective surfaces, like water, snow, and sand. Water, snow, sand, even the windows of a building can reflect the damaging rays of the sun. That can increase your chance of sunburn, even if you’re in what you consider a shady spot.

Use extra caution when at higher altitudes. You can experience more UV exposure at higher altitudes, because there is less atmosphere to absorb UV radiation.

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen. Generously apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to cover all exposed skin. The “broad spectrum” variety protects against overexposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. The FDA recommends using sunscreens that are not only broad spectrum, but that also have a sun protection factor (SPF) value of at least 15 for protection against sun-induced skin problems.

Re-apply broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the day. Even if a sunscreen is labeled as "water-resistant," it must be reapplied throughout the day, especially after sweating or swimming. To be safe, apply sunscreen at a rate of one ounce every two hours. Depending on how much of the body needs coverage, a full-day (six-hour) outing could require one whole tube of sunscreen.

Smith Drug Company Names New Vice President, FinanceLena Jouran to lead finance team

healthtop 20 googledhealth concerns

More than a third of all American adults have searched

online to find a diagnosis for an illness, and half of

those people wound up discussing their search results

with their healthcare provider, according to a 2013

Pew survey. Google released a listing of the top 20

conditions people in the U.S. searched for online in early

May. Diabetes topped the list, followed by depression,

anxiety, hemorrhoid, and yeast infection. Psoriasis, HPV,

pneumonia, and bronchitis also placed within the top 20.

Lena Jouran

Smith Drug Company (SDC) has announced that Lena Jouran has joined the company as Divisional Vice President, Finance. She will support both Smith Drug Company and Burlington Drug Company in her new role. Jouran replaces Kyle Waltz, who has accepted the position of Vice President Corporate Controller at the J M Smith Corporation.

“Lena brings with her an extensive background in managing the finance complexities of the pharmacy supply chain,” said Jeff Foreman, RPh, President, Smith Drug Company. “We are excited to have her join the team and expect she will be a tremendous asset to our organization.”

Jouran comes to Smith Drug Company from Walgreens, where she was the Finance Director, Pharmacy Procurement, Supply Chain and Rx Insights. In that role, she led a team responsible for supporting two business units with more than $40B in annual purchases and $4B of inventory under management. She collaborated closely with the Walgreens Global Procurement Organization to maximize vendor negotiations.

The Appointment Based Model

The Appointment Based Model (ABM) is a patient care service designed to improve patients’ adherence to medications and build efficiencies in pharmacy operations. The ABM shifts the pharmacy staff’s focus from passively filling prescription orders at the request of the patient on an unaligned schedule to proactively synchronizing a pick-up date for chronic medicines and confirming the patient is receiving the correct medications each month. In the ABM, pharmacists and pharmacy staff are able to perform a full review of all medications each month, which provides the opportunity to identify therapeutic and compliance issues that patients may be encountering.

WHY CHANGE THE PHARMACY MODEL?

The typical pharmacy model is dependent on the patient bringing in their new prescription or calling when and if they remember to get their prescriptions refilled. The pharmacy staff answers inbound phone calls, contacts physicians, waits for call-backs and then fills prescription orders. The expectation is that the patient arrives at the pharmacy to pick up their medicines. Patients with multiple prescriptions often call and visit the pharmacy multiple times during the month. This method of operation is full of “unknowns”, increased workload, and diminished ability of the pharmacy staff to build efficiencies that would free up valuable time. With the minor modifications to pharmacy workflow that are included in the ABM, both patient adherence to medication therapy and efficiency of pharmacy operations dramatically improve.

HOW THE ABM WORKS

The ABM has 3 core components:1. Prescription synchronization2. A monthly call to the patient3. Scheduled monthly appointment

Prescription synchronization is the engine that drives the ABM. By having all of a patient’s prescriptions refilled on the same day of the month, there is no longer a need for patients to make multiple calls or visits to the pharmacy each month. The patient is assigned an appointment day each month for them to pick up all chronic prescriptions and consult with the pharmacist about any issues or questions.

The pre-appointment call fuels the engine that drives the ABM. Once a month, prior to the patient’s appointment day, the pharmacy staff calls the patient to determine the refill order for that month. This call is an important opportunity for pharmacy staff to listen to patients and have a conversation about the medications that are scheduled to be filled, reasons for discontinuing treatments, and whether the patient has been to the doctor or hospital in the past month. This call differentiates the ABM from an automatic refill program because it provides meaningful information about relevant changes in the medication profile since the last visit to the pharmacy.

When the patient arrives on their scheduled appointment day to pick up the prescription(s), the pharmacist may provide consultation services to talk about the medications, identified compliance issues, and any questions that may arise. The pharmacist may also provide a comprehensive medication review or other MTM services that will help the consumer optimize medication use. These interactions build a stronger relationship between the pharmacy staff and the patient, which can drive patient adherence, satisfaction, and loyalty.

The Appointment Based Model

VALUE TO YOUR PHARMACY:

PHARMACY EFFICIENCY IMPROVES BY:• Reducing the number of inbound calls from patients requesting refills• Decreasing the number of times a single patient must be rung out at the register while picking up non-synchronized prescriptions• Minimizing the number of separate outreach attempts to prescribers to authorize refills or review medication orders• Consolidating disjointed patient profile reviews into a single comprehensive, monthly review

PATIENT SATISFACTION AND LOYALTY IMPROVES BY:• Decreasing the amount of visits they must make to the pharmacy each month• Developing a personal relationship with the pharmacy staff• Looking forward to the monthly pre-appointment call from the pharmacy staff• Improving adherence to medicines and therefore being in better health

PHARMACY REVENUE INCREASES BY:• Improving patient adherence and increasing the amount of refills requested per year• Providing billable clinical pharmacy services in conjunction with appointment dates (e.g., immunizations and medication therapy management)

1. The consumer brings new or refill prescriptions to the pharmacy.2. The pharmacy staff explains the ABM and how it can decrease visits to

the pharmacy.3. The consumer decides to enroll in the ABM and talks with the pharmacy

staff about establishing a synchronized appointment date to pick up prescriptions each month.

4. The pharmacy staff reviews the consumer’s profile to formulate a plan to synchronize all chronic medications so they can be picked up on the same date.

5. In order to synchronize prescriptions to the determined appointment dates, the pharmacy staff will perform “short fills” (less than a typical supply) or “long fills”(more than a typical supply) depending upon refill timing and the cost of the medication.

6. Each month a member of the pharmacy staff will call the consumer approximately a week before the appointment date to confirm that the prescriptions should be filled, to identify any changes in therapy, and to facilitate any care coordination that should take place before more medications are dispensed.

7. After reviewing potential changes to the patient’s medication regimen, the pharmacy staff prepares each prescription and creates one package for easy pick up on the consumer’s appointment date.

8. Each month the pharmacist reviews the comprehensive prescription order, evaluates the medication profile, and uses information gathered on the monthly call to identify potential compliance issues and topics to discuss with the consumer.

9. On the selected appointment day, the consumer visits the pharmacy to pick up the prescriptions that have been prepared.

10. The pharmacist may engage in medication therapy management services, which can include performing a comprehensive medication review, counseling the consumer about the prescriptions, asking questions that arose during the medication profile and monthly call review, and identify-ing ways to optimize medication use.

The FDA has approved Radicava™ (Edaravone), the first new treatment specifically for ALS in 22 years. The drug was

approved by the FDA less than a year after Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation submitted a New Drug Application.

The only other approved treatment specifically for ALS, riluzole, was approved in 1995.

The ALS Association, the only national nonprofit fighting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on every front, applauded the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) announcement today that it has approved Radicava (edaravone), the first new treatment approved specifically for ALS in 22 years. The FDA approved Radicava less than a year after Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation submitted a New Drug Application. The only other approved treatment specifically for ALS, riluzole, was approved in 1995.

“We thank the FDA and MT Pharma for working together to expedite the approval of the first new ALS-specific treatment in decades,” said Barbara Newhouse, president and CEO of The ALS Association. “We hope today’s announcement signals the beginning of a new chapter in the fight against this terrible disease. There are several drugs to treat ALS currently in clinical trials and we are hopeful that people living with ALS have even more therapies available to them sooner rather than later.”

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. For unknown reasons, veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS as the general population.

Edaravone was originally approved in Japan to treat stroke and in 2015, it was approved for use as a treatment for ALS in Japan and

South Korea. In the United States, it will be commercialized under the brand name Radicava. According to MT Pharma, the drug has been demonstrated to slow decline of physical function in ALS patients by 33 percent.

More information about Radicava, including Frequently Asked Questions, can be found at www.alsa.org/radicava.

APhA MTM Central • What is medication therapy management?

Medication therapy management, also referred to as MTM, is a term used to describe a broad range of health care services provided by pharmacists, the medication experts on the health care team.

As defined in a consensus definition adopted by the pharmacy profession in 2004, medication therapy management is a service or group of services that optimize therapeutic outcomes for individual patients. Medication therapy management services include medication therapy reviews, pharmacotherapy consults, anticoagulation management, immunizations, health and wellness programs and many other clinical services. Pharmacists provide medication therapy management to help patients get the best benefits from their medications by actively managing drug therapy and by identifying, preventing and resolving medication-related problems.

Why is medication therapy management needed?Medication-related problems and medication mismanagement are a massive public health problem in the United States. Experts estimate that 1.5 million preventable adverse events occur each year that result in $177 billion in injury and death.

Where is medication therapy management provided?Pharmacists provide medication therapy management services in all care settings in which patients take medications. While pharmacists in different settings may provide different types of medication therapy management services, the goal of all pharmacists providing medication therapy management is to make sure that the medication is right for the patient and his or her health conditions and that the best possible outcomes from treatment are achieved.

Who can benefit from medication therapy management?Anyone who uses prescription medications, non-prescription medications, herbals, or other dietary supplements may potentially benefit from medication therapy management services. People who may benefit the most include those who use several medications, those who have several health conditions, those who have questions or problems with their medications, those who are taking medications that require close monitoring, those who have been hospitalized, and those who obtain their medications from more than one pharmacy.

LARC of Valdosta, Georgia, recently presented Bruce Allred, General Manager/Director of Operations of Smith Drug Company, Valdosta the Paul Craig Award. It is the first time in the history of the award that a company and

an individual received this honor. The award is for his and Smith Drug Company's continued commitment to LARC and going over and beyond normal expectations

in service to the organization. Bruce served on the board for many years and Smith Drug Company has used LARC services several times, including placing the flaps on totes

along with the bar code labels. Smith Drug Company and Bruce's history with LARC began in 2008 when he

arranged to have them take all of the cardboard from the warehouse, instead of sending it to the landfill, in which they baled and sold it. Today LARC services dozens of

companies in a like manner.

A brief history of LARC below:

In 1970 LARC, Inc. was founded as Lowndes Association for Retarded Citizens and was located at the Magnolia Street School until moving to West Gordon Street in 1972. Starting with only 35 individuals, the founding Director Mr. Paul Craig pioneered the “sheltered workshop concept” in the Valdosta area using the name “LARC Sheltered Workshop.” In 1991, LARC moved to a newly constructed facility and soon after (1994) changed its name to the Lowndes Advocacy Resource

Center, Inc. (LARC, Inc.). Today, LARC serves approximately 150 individuals with developmental disabilities.

Patients Desperate for Medicine Trade Supplies on Facebook

Patients who cannot afford their medication, have run out of supplies,

or do not have insurance coverage are trading medicines with Facebook friends. Patients either post a request indicating the medicine they need to their regular Facebook newsfeed or

they join a Facebook group to arrange trades. For instance, someone whose insurance only covers Humalog® but feels Novolog® works best for their

body will post a trade. NBC News reporters found postings to trade

EpiPens®, asthma inhalers, and other prescription medications. Doctors and regulators state the dangers of trading

medicines online include tampering, infection, privacy issues, and scams.

5 Ways to Take Advantage of "Back to School" Promotions in your Independent Pharmacy

1) If you carry necessary back to school supplies like pencils, crayons, paper etc., it’s important to make sure your customers know this. Your regular loyal customers are probably coming in sometime this month anyway, so if they know that they can pick up other essentials at your pharmacy, you’ll save them from having to make another stop. Whether your means of advertising are emails to your customer base, an ad in the local paper, your store windows or billboard out front, make sure you advertise that customers can shop for back to school with

you.

2) As always, making shopping as easy as possible for your customers is a must. If you can obtain the supply checklists from your local schools and have them in your store, you’ll ensure that your customers will be prepared to do their back to school shopping. If they have to leave

and come back, you risk them shopping elsewhere.

3) You’re not limited to just promoting the items that are on a traditional back to school list. You can get creative and make some helpful recommendations. Small first aid kits, travel size lotions and hand sanitizers are perfect back pack additions. Dorm room initiates will need all

the toiletry basics and medicine cabinet essentials. Don’t forget, any time you’re talking back to school, a good vitamin recommendation for the entire family is always a good pick.

4) Grouping all of your back to school picks together is also a great way to make shopping for these items in your pharmacy easy for your customers. As always, displays close to the entry

way of your store and end caps are great places for seasonal products and special offers.

5) Last, but certainly not least, a few promotions will help drive sales. You can bundle items together in baskets, create BOGO promotions, or print coupons for your Loyalty customers.

Your Pharmacy POS system will be invaluable for setting all this up to make checkout streamlined and simple.

For many small communities, the local pharmacy can be a go to place for so many things. There’s no reason to miss out on an opportunity to remind customers that you are more than a

prescription warehouse and boost your pharmacy sales this fall.

Back To School • Stock Up On Vitamins

Back to school season can also be back to cold season. With so many children around each other, germs run wild. The next thing you know, children are home from school sniffling, with a fever and

vomiting.

When you’re stocking your shelves with folders, pencils and erasers, don’t forget the vitamins.

Vitamins to Improve Immune System Functioning

Vitamin CYou knew this one would be part of the list! Vitamin C taken before a cold can strengthen the

immune system to ward off colds, and taken at the onset of one it can help decrease the length and severity of the illness. Children under six years of age should have 250 mg per day and those over six should have 500 mg. Dr. Sears, a leader in children’s health, recommends taking vitamin C

supplements throughout the day rather than all of it once a day.

Vitamin EVitamin E is also important in immune functioning. It stimulates the production of killer cells,

which attack germs and cancer cells. It also increases the production of B-cells, which are immune cells that produce antibodies that destroy bacteria. While eating vegetable oils, nuts, and leafy

green vegetables will give people enough of this vitamin, many children do not favor these foods. Children one to three years old need 9 IUs each day, ages four to eight need 10.5 IUs and nine to

13 year olds need 16.5 IUs, according to LiveStrong.

Vitamin DA study in 2009 found that vitamin D could protect individuals from the common cold and

respiratory tract infections, especially those who have health concerns such as asthma and chronic lung conditions. In the winter, when most colds are running rampant among children and adults alike, vitamin D levels are also low because of the decreased time outdoors. If individuals do not

make up for this loss with vitamin D enriched foods, deficiency occurs, which lowers the efficiency of the immune system. This is why it may be useful to supplement. The Food and Nutrition Board

recommends children and adolescents should have 600 IUs of vitamin D each day.

ZincWhile not a vitamin, it is a mineral that's very important in immune function. Zinc increases white

blood cell production. White blood cells release antibodies and attack infections. Some studies have shown that zinc supplements can lower the intensity and frequency of infections, however, too much of it can actually lower immune system functionality. According to Dr. Sears, zinc supplements may reduce the frequency of acute respiratory infections in children. The Office of Dietary Supplements reports that children up to six months old should have 2 mg daily, children ages seven months to three years old should have 3 mg daily, children ages four to eight year olds should have 5 mg,

and children ages nine and above should get 8 mg daily. These are dietary needs, so if a child eats enough zinc-enriched foods he may not need supplementation.

Omega-3 Fatty AcidsDr. Sears reports on a study in which children who took half a teaspoon of flax oil each day had

less severe respiratory infections and were less absent from school compared to those who didn’t receive the supplement. Omegas 3s in flax oil increase the activity of phagocytes, which are white

blood cells that eliminate bacteria. Dr. Sears recommends taking vitamin E with essential fatty acids, because together they can really boost the immune system.

Instruct your customers to consult their doctor before supplementation!

Some vitamins can interact with medications and cause side effects. Vitamin overdose is possible and can cause illness.

Back To School • Head Lice: Going Head To Head

Combs, chemicals, or conditioners? As parents get ready for the back- to-school frenzy, it’s pharmacists’ responsibility to arm themselves with the right products and knowledge to help combat head lice.

The 2012 update to the Stafford guidelines on head lice control debunked some key myths when it comes to treatment of pediculosis capitis.

It confirms that infestations are most common in school-age children (but they should be viewed as an issue for the wider community by pharmacists), although there is not yet a link between occurrence and school attendance. Infestations are also more prevalent in girls than boys, with a peak age between seven and eight years of age.

Studies in Belgium confirm that lice are more common in families with more children, in children with longer hair and in families of a lower economic status. There is also no evidence to support the claim that head lice prefer breeding in clean hair.

The updated guidelines go on to say that identification, treatment and prevention of head lice is the role of the parent, but healthcare professionals

like pharmacists have a key supporting role in diagnosing infections.

According to a recent OnePoll survey conducted on behalf of Hedrin, a third of parents feel stressed and a fifth feel ashamed when they discover head lice in their child’s hair. Pharmacists can also spread the message that head lice are only transmitted by “direct, prolonged, head to-head

contact”.

The Stafford guidelines sum up the role of the community pharmacist: “Local pharmacists should inform themselves of local policies and protocols and should adhere to them. Every opportunity should be taken to give accurate information to the public.

Our unique head lice spray kills lice and lice eggs (nits) naturally using a homeopathic solution that contains sodium chloride, more commonly known as salt. Fast and easy to

use, just spray on Licefreee Spray and it starts killing head lice and nits on contact. Allow the head lice spray to dry naturally, no rinsing or washing is needed. However, once the hair has dried completely after treatment, you may then resume regular grooming habits

(i.e. wash hair, style, etc.).

Licefreee Spray has been tested to be effective in killing both head lice and nits, so it is not required to nit comb in order to become lice free! However, most schools do have no-nit policies requiring that all nits (lice eggs) are removed from the hair. For this purpose we

include our patented lice comb for effective removal of dead lice and nits.

Benefits of our head lice spray include:

• Effective in killing lice AND nits• Spray on application is fast and easy to use• Begins working on contact• Patented nit comb• Non-toxic formula, chemical pesticide free• Safe to use on children 6 months and older• Can be used daily if desired
