Welcome to 2020
It's the start of a new year and a new decade of the 'twenty twenties'! CPF board members will engage in strategic planning at the upcoming February meeting and they are eager to 'think forward' with current programs like Flip the Pharmacy and the ACT Pharmacy Collaborative, as well as new and innovative grants. They also take this time to reflect on the current body of work that CPF has produced to ensure they 'Make the Most' of the quality deliverables and insights from existing grants and projects.
Flip the Pharmacy (FtP)
Flip the Pharmacy is a multi-year community pharmacy practice transformation program where CPF partnered with CPESN® USA to serve as the Coordinating Center for implementation. The first cohort is comprised of 28 teams across the country with over 200 coaches who provide direct guidance on implementing Change Package curricula to over 500 pharmacies.
One of the first endeavors is documenting pharmacist patient care planning activities with an emphasis on hypertension patients. The FtP curriculum for the first progression incorporates existing hypertension training and resources from the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association using their program called Target:BP. The initial preliminary results of electronically submitted care plan data (e-care plans) is impressive!
