Brad Tice, PharmD, MBA, FAPhA, Director, Product Strategy &amp; Commercialization at Cardinal Health -- joins Erin L. Albert, MBA, PharmD, JD, PAHM and Todd S. Eury - on the Pharmacy Podcast Network at the Cardinal Health annual conference dedicated to independent pharmacies throughout the country - the RBC 2017.&nbsp; Pharmacists in Washington State got SB 5557&nbsp;passed&nbsp;in early 2015—a bill requiring commercial or private health care plans regulated by Washington State to enroll pharmacists into their provider networks, and it mandates that these plans pay pharmacists for services provided if they are within a pharmacist’s scope of practice. With more than 10,000 active collaborative practice agreements in existence for pharmacists in Washington State, Rochon said they wanted to “push the bar” even further and make sure pharmacists were compensated for their services. The process was long and involved and passage of the bill was achieved largely through several partnerships with stakeholders ranging from legislators to patient advocacy groups. Part of the process also involved legal maneuvering with an existing Washington State law having to do with providers and health care plans. Please see --&nbsp;PharmacistsProvideCare.com&nbsp;and encouraged pharmacists to &nbsp;share their patient care stories with policy makers. Thank you to our podcast series sponsor - Cardinal Health.&nbsp;

Rob began with the vision of bringing back small-town pharmacy in an era trending toward big corporate box stores. After years of success, Rob reopened Midtown Pharmacy in a larger location in 2010. The new facility allows for a better selection of medical equipment, over-the-counter products, room for health and wellness classes for the community, as well as The Children's Boutique. Midtown Pharmacy is purposefully patterned after the old-fashioned community pharmacy. It is an independent business, built on Rob’s philosophy that taking care of customers is the just the right thing to do. Midtown Pharmacy offers all the services of a modern “big box drug store,” but delivers excellent service with the attentiveness, good manners and personality of the pharmacy your parents and grandparents knew.

The mission of Generation Rx is to educate people of all ages about the potential dangers of misusing prescription medications. In doing so, we strive to enhance medication safety among our youth, college students, other adults in our communities, and seniors. Prescription medications can help us live longer and healthier lives, but any medication has the potential to do harm – especially when misused. Since 2009, the College of Pharmacy at The Ohio State University and the Cardinal Health Foundation have partnered to provide&nbsp;open source educational materials that anyone can use to help prevent the misuse of prescription drugs. These ready-to-use resources are designed to provide everything you need to make a presentation or offer a program in your community, school or college. Our core messages are quite simple:  Only use prescription medications as directed by a health professional. Never share your prescription medications with others or use someone else’s medications. Always store your medications securely to prevent others from taking them, and properly dispose of medications that you no longer need. Be a good example to those around you by modeling these safe medication-taking practices and discussing the dangers of misusing prescription drugs with your family, friends, colleagues, students, or patients.
