CVS Health’s Post

Is this it? I asked myself late at night, buried in medication bottles and spreadsheets. Pharmacists are often hidden away, their vast expertise unrecognized. But we are more than pill counters. We are healthcare's unsung heroes. 👉 We catch prescription errors that could harm patients. 👉 We offer crucial advice on medication management. 👉 We play a vital role in patient care teams. Yet, our contributions often go unnoticed. The healthcare system is broken, partly because pharmacists are undervalued. Imagine a world where pharmacists are recognized as the medication experts they are, integral in healthcare decision-making, with their voices heard and expertise respected. We envision a healthcare system where pharmacists are celebrated, their knowledge fully utilized to create healthier communities. It's time to step out of the backroom and into the spotlight. Because when pharmacists thrive, patients thrive. Ready to join us in this mission? Comment below if you believe in the power of pharmacists!

WHAT IS PIF™? HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS’ PIF™ Patients living with chronic medical conditions like #diabetes, #hypertension and #highcholesterol must continually be supplied with medications. The #community #pharmacist plays a vital role in the process of the dispensing of these medications. Considering the support needed by the #patient , the repeated contact with the pharmacist becomes vital. I coined a phrase Patient Interaction Frequency™ (PIF™). PIF™ is as the number of interactive contacts between a patient and a healthcare provider over a 12-month period. There are 4 characteristics that PIF has. 1.      The interaction must be over a 12-month period. 2.      The interaction must be patient focused. 3.      The interaction must benefit both patient and healthcare provider. 4.      The interaction should produce data informed. Considering the management of most chronic conditions, pharmacists have the highest PIF™ compared to other healthcare providers.  Learn more about the value of PIF™ here https://lnkd.in/dKd5CsXE Johan Henning Kgabo Tshepo Komape (MBL) Hannelie Hartman Jackie Maimin Jeremy Nicol Al van Buuren Independent Community Pharmacy Association Rex Dlamini
