Board Chatter - a glimpse into what Board Members are FYI'ing and FWD'ing

New Study Reports Non-Optimized Medication Therapy Costs $528.4 Billion Annually

Rising drug prices have gotten a lot of attention lately, but the actual cost of prescription medications is more than just the dollars and cents on the bill. Researchers at Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of California San Diego estimate that illness and death resulting from non-optimized medication therapy costs $528.4 billion annually, equivalent to 16 percent of total U.S. health care expenditures in 2016.

According to Jonathan Watanabe, PharmD, PhD, associate professor of clinical pharmacy in the Skaggs School of Pharmacy, “Non-optimized medication therapy is a massive avoidable cost. If medications were prescribed, monitored and taken properly, we wouldn't face this cost, and patients would be healthier." To improve outcomes and lower costs, Watanabe and team propose expanding the presence of direct patient care models by clinical pharmacists in collaboration with prescribing clinicians, a process known as comprehensive medication.

Naloxone Access in Community Pharmacies

The National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) continues to update a graphic depicting naloxone access in community pharmacies. As of the last update in January 2018, now all 50 states have some policy language addressing this topic. Additional naloxone resources are also listed on the naloxone access page.
