The Clinical Compass
CPESN Community Health Helping Cardiovascular Disease Patients
Helping community pharmacies reduce healthcare gaps in medical deserts across the country is especially critical during these times. One recent project focused on improving access to preventative healthcare services for cardiovascular disease patients in rural communities. CPESN CH partnered with the team at the NCPA Innovation Center on this initiative, supported by Bristol Myers Squibb.
Community Pharmacists are helping Patients with CGM
CGM is another area where community pharmacies and the pharmacists they employ are making a positive impact. Within healthcare deserts in rural regions, finding primary care providers to manage CGM treatment becomes difficult. As such, community pharmacists again fill a critical healthcare need by providing CGM devices and treatment supervision.
Community Health Workers Provide Better Healthcare than an AI Chatbot
Pharmacy community health workers, and their clinical pharmacists, blend the best local flavor, trusted friendship, and clinical care, benefiting each patient. For healthcare to be efficacious and cost-effective, it must begin early. It needs to begin in the community and neighborhoods, brought to you by people who care.
How Community Pharmacies are Closing the Vaccine Gap
Vaccines remain one of the most cost-effective methods for boosting healthcare. Community pharmacies, with the pharmacists and community health workers they employ, play important roles in closing any vaccine gaps.
PharmaCHIC: Managing Brain Health at Community Pharmacies
Community pharmacies increasingly offer healthcare services to patients, especially in underserved regions. This provides them an opportunity to take part in various medical initiatives, including those related to brain health.
Data, Pharmacy Data Everywhere. How’s it helping Patients?
Encounter data versus dispensing data is a critical differentiation in today’s medical world. As healthcare professionals, we need to focus more on capturing encounter data.
The Rural Health Transformation is Here
The Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program aims to strengthen healthcare provided to rural regions across the United States. The federal government created this program to improve access to health services in these traditionally underserved areas.
Helping Expectant Mothers Thrive with the MOMS Program
The MOMS: Medications Optimizing Maternal Safety™ program aims to improve maternal-infant health in Mississippi. It achieves this goal by leveraging community pharmacies to expand care into the state’s regions lacking meaningful healthcare resources.
Healthcare Works Best when Delivered Locally
To achieve health equity, especially in vulnerable populations, healthcare needs to be delivered on the street, in the neighborhood, on the porch, in the living room, or around the kitchen table.
Community Pharmacy Outreach Reduces Healthcare Gaps
Healthcare needs to go beyond any clinic or pharmacy walls. It needs to go to public gatherings, onto porches, and into living rooms. We need to help people where they live, not just where we work.
