Announcements
Flip the Pharmacy (FtP)
On September 4, 2019 The Community Pharmacy Foundation (CPF) announced the 20 Practice Transformation Teams funded by CPF for the first cohort of the multi-year Flip the Pharmacy Program. Flip the Pharmacy aims to transform community-based pharmacies away from point-in-time, prescription-level care processes and business models to longitudinal and patient-level care processes and business models through the use of hands-on coaching. Practice Transformation Teams will act as implementation arms for locally-based community pharmacy practice transformation efforts. CPESN® USA has partnered with CPF to serve as the Coordinating Center for Flip the Pharmacy.
The first cohort covers all regions of the country and the Teams have committed to engaging and deploying more than 70 Practice Transformation Coaches to more than 500 pharmacies across the country to implement the six key transformation domains (see the domains and sign up to follow the Program at www.flipthepharmacy.com). Read more about the 28 total participating Teams in Cohort 1.
The first Change Package is now publicly available at www.flipthepharmacy.com/changepackage. The Change Package is the 'curriculum' released each month for coaches and teams to incrementally introduce transformation activities into pharmacy practice in a structured order. The first Change Package covers Domain 1, 'Leveraging the Appointment Based Model', and includes information on the following topics: pharmacy self-assessment and coach on-site readiness assessment, medication synchronization self-assessment and implementation tips, patient encounter documentation forms, patient case persona, and a sample care plan.
 ACT Pharmacy Collaborative
The Academia-CPESN Transformation (ACT) Pharmacy Collaborative is an operational learning and ACTing collaborative between schools/colleges of pharmacy and clinically integrated networks of community-based pharmacies. The program launched at the AACP Annual Meeting in July 2019 and 61 teams have currently enrolled.

National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Annual Convention
CPF board and staff will attend the upcoming NCPA meeting on October 26-29, 2019 at the San Diego, California Convention Center. In addition to valuable ‘hallway conversations’, you will be able to meet CPF representatives at the following sessions:
Expo Interactions – Sunday, October 27th 4 - 5pm PT and Monday, October 28th 12 -1 pm PT at the NCPA Expo Pavilion
Come socialize with leaders from CPESN, FtP, ACT and CPF during designated times of the NCPA Expo.
