Another one I’ll never forget… Patient 4 brought a challenge that demanded serious “Medscheck Magic”. With a med list more complicated than decoding a cryptic crossword puzzle – 20 meds, some expired, others untouched – it was time to roll up my sleeves. I dove in, spending a solid five hours untangling the medication mess. And here's the kicker – I even teamed up with another pharmacist, not even from the same company. Talk about irony, right? Together, we streamlined things, transitioned to blister packs, and saved the patient from drowning in unused meds (and saved her cat from potential hazards!) What's more, the patient's situation highlighted the perilous position patients without a family doctor face. A clinic had put her on 💲 insulin💲 and 💲sensors💲, yet she had no intention of taking insulin, just didn’t know to ask for help, leading to more medication wastage. After a marathon shift, I personally assembled the first blister pack, ensuring she started her treatment journey on the right foot. Because in the world of pharmacy, every detail matters. Looking back, Patient 4's case proves the power of proactive care and unexpected teamwork. It's moments like these that fuel my passion for pharmacy, knowing that every action I take can profoundly impact someone's health and well-being. Here's to better adherence and smoother medication management! #PharmacyHeroes #Teamwork #patientcare Jeff Leger Lori LeBlanc Akeel Jaffer Anthony Spina Dave Puri Craig Nisbet Nitu Singh

Hey everyone! 👋🏽 So, you know those questions we always get from potential clients? "What kind of success can we expect?" and "How fast will we see results?" It's a question we get a lot, and here's the scoop: while we can't promise specific results or coverage (we specialize in earned media, after all), what we can guarantee is hustle and dedication to hitting the ground running. Our new client, Mind Body & Soul Medical, signed with us just nine days ago, on April 16. We hadn't even built foundational materials yet but when we saw an opportunity in their industry, we attacked it! And guess what? Today, they were featured on the TODAY Show, New York Post and DailyMail.com! 🤩 Now, I'm not here to toot our own horn, but to emphasize that when you're passionate about the work you do, results happen. And that's what we do here at BrandBomb PR. We get results for our clients, plain and simple, and that's truly something I couldn't be more proud of!

Technology solutions, like TailorMed and others, would make Amanda Fringer’s life 1000% easier. However, most in hospital leadership (or anywhere) don’t have a good feel for the number of patients in need at their outpatient infusion centers until you start reporting numbers back to them, making a #technologysolution a difficult sell when trying to get your program off the ground. It’s easier to see patients in need at the retail or Specialty Pharmacy level b/c of #drugabandonment. The hard reality is that Amanda will need to reduce the pharmacy’s #drugspend, in addition to bringing in #directrevenue from copay/foundation assistance. This will help her show the positive ROI needed to justify an additional FTE to help her or to purchase an expensive technology solution that, again, might charge a contingency fee off of whats recovered. In order to show those numbers, Amanda is going to have to manually track everything in the Excel spreadsheet I created and still use today. On today’s call, we went over what the info in each column means and why it’s needed. There’s no ™️ on my brightly colored Excel spreadsheet so feel free to replicate it or DM me if you want one for free drug and another for copay/foundation assistance. This is exactly what #namapa is all about…sharing free information, tools and resources so we can all provide the best assistance to our patients. Check out today’s recorded session to catch up on what Amanda accomplished last week and what her assignments are for this week…and thank-you to those who joined and were interactive! Amanda has been amazing to work with, and is bright and motivated and she has big things ahead of her. You couldn’t ask for a better student than that! 😊 See you next Friday! #SpreadsheetNinjas #DrowningInDocumentation #GottaShowThatROI #HubHumor National Association of Medication Access & Patient Advocacy (NAMAPA)
