Monday, May 19, 2014
Engaging Patients as Advocates for the Compounding Pharmacy Profession
3:00-4:00 p.m.

This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant-in-aid from Analytical Research Laboratories (ARL).
Although everyone in the compounding community has focused upon the impact of the Drug Quality and Security Act, much, much more is occurring at both the state and federal level. Issues like constructive transfer of controlled substances, reimbursement for pharmacist care services, assured coverage of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)-based compounded medicines, and increasing scrutiny by regulators all mean that the battle to protect our specialty is as great as ever. Looking forward, IACP sees that our greatest advocates aren’t ourselves but our patients. This insightful seminar, conducted by IACP’s Washington D.C.-based advocacy experts, will show you how to capitalize on the passion and commitment of your patients, their families, and your local professional and business community.

At the conclusion of this educational session, the pharmacist and technician attendee will be able to:

  • Outline three essential steps in developing a comprehensive advocacy campaign.
  • Review two examples of how other businesses have executed successful advocacy campaigns.
  • Discuss how to leverage technology to achieve your goals.
Presented by:  Stephanie Mikos, Vice President, Business Development, DDC Advocacy

Program type:  Knowledge-Based


Back by popular demand, This Works for Me! returns to CCH and features a panel of IACP Members from across the country joining together to provide attendees with a variety of practice ideas  to advance your practice.

This Works for Me!
4:00-5:30 p.m.

This is a session for IACP Members to share innovative practice ideas in the areas of hormone replacement supplements, topical pain therapies, vaginal delivery systems, quality measurements, patient seminars and marketing with new computer technologies.   This session will discuss programs they have developed within their pharmacy practice and the pharmacist and technician attendees may be able to implement in their pharmacy practice.

At the conclusion of this educational session, the pharmacist and technician attendee will be able to:

  • Identify innovative practice techniques not currently being utilized in attendees own pharmacy practice.
  • Discuss implementation of these techniques.
  • Discuss recent developments in pharmacy practice and how to take advantage of several new opportunities.
