Community pharmacies are positioned to delay this need by supporting medication management. There are potential mechanisms for pharmacists to deliver long term care at home (Home LTC) services and bill insurers for services that may delay the transition to a higher level of care. <i>Objectives:</i> This project aims to evaluate the implementation of a community pharmacy delivered Home LTC service in a rural community. The objectives were to: 1) describe implementation and challenges of pharmacy-provided HOME LTC services, 2) attempt billing for Home LTC services, 3) describe pharmacist clinical interventions including drug therapy problems (DTPs) and 4) measure patient/caregiver satisfaction with the service. <i>Methods:</i> This was a pilot evaluation of a community pharmacist delivered intervention. Patient eligibility requirements include taking 6+ medications, having 3+ chronic conditions, and having 2+ limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs). All participants received a comprehensive medication review. Pharmacy staff prepared medications in monthly adherence packaging and delivery was offered. Home visits were performed by the pharmacist as needed. A post study survey assessed satisfaction and invited suggestions for improvement. Patient characteristics, DTPs, interventions, reimbursement attempts and amounts, and survey responses were documented, and analyzed descriptively. <i>Results:</i> Fourteen patients were enrolled in the study - 3 living in a group home and 7 were already receiving adherence packaging. All 14 patients received at least 1 clinical intervention, and 4 home visits were conducted. Seven patients (50%) completed the satisfaction survey and reported universally high satisfaction with the service elements. <i>Conclusion:</i> Overall, implementing a HOME LTC service was successful, however, the pharmacy failed to be reimbursed for service elements, including adherence packaging. Patients were satisfied with the service. Bridging the reimbursement gap is critical to sustainably provide patients with this desired service.</p>","PeriodicalId":501014,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in pharmacy","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12509710/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145282507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous influenza immunization events at various K-12 schools carried out by Idaho State University L.S.

Given the prominent role that teachers/staff serve in communities, we surveyed K-12 teachers and staff to determine their perceptions, knowledge, and reasons surrounding vaccine hesitancy. Our survey focused on the influenza vaccine, but also inquired about vaccine knowledge in general. <i>METHODS:</i> A Qualtrics survey was distributed online throughout the West Ada School District, located in southwestern Idaho. Demographics, receipt of influenza vaccine, vaccination motivation, knowledge and reasons for hesitancy were collected. Surveys were distributed July 2020 and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Response differences between those who most recently received their influenza vaccine and those who did not were also compared using chi-square or Mann-Whitney U tests when appropriate. RESULTS: A total of 503 surveys were completed, with all respondents teaching throughout the K-12 curriculum. A majority of respondents (n=409;81%) received a yearly influenza vaccination. Reasons for vaccination included: avoidance of flu, reduction of spread, and prevention of complications. Reasons against vaccination included: lack of efficacy, side effects, and numerous \"other\" responses. When comparing general influenza vaccine knowledge between those who received their influenza vaccine vs. those that did not, those who had been vaccinated displayed responses that more closely coincided with scientific data. <i>CONCLUSIONS:</i> The majority of surveyed K-12 teachers/staff received their influenza vaccine during the 2019-2020 season.

The best method to measure blood pressure (BP) in a clinic setting is debatable. This study was conducted to compare serial BPs to a single repeat BP after an initial elevated reading. <i>Methods</i>. For this quality improvement process, instead of obtaining a second BP measurement after an initially elevated BP, medical assistants (MA) obtained serial BP readings two minutes apart. Rooming BP was compared to the first serial BP reading (current process), and to the average of the last two BP readings. <i>Results</i>. Seventy-eight patients were included. The average rooming BP was 155.5 ± 15.3 mmHg systolic (mean ± standard deviation) and 88.7 ± 11.8 mmHg diastolic, which decreased to 146.05 ± 18.2 mmHg systolic and 85.7 ± 11.8 mmHg diastolic for the first BP and 147.5 ± 16.2 mmHg systolic and 86.9 ± 12.1 mmHg diastolic for the average BP.

In patients presenting to an outpatient clinic with an initial elevated BP reading, simply repeating a single BP measurement shortly after completing the rooming process resulted in significantly reduced BP readings, and was equal to obtaining serial readings.
