SCPhA House of Delegates February 2018 Meeting Minutes

Speaker Betsy Blake called the House of Delegates to order at 1:03 PM on Sunday, February 11, 2018. Speaker-elect, Elliot Turner will be taking minutes for this meeting and Treasurer, Pam Whitmire will serve as the Parliamentarian.

Chairman of the board, Kayce Shealy led the group in the pledge of allegiance. Lynn Connelly led the group in the invocation.

Speaker recognized the following guests: Dianne Dennis, Alyssa Norwood, William Wynn, Shaueda Jenkins, Kane Summer, Whitney Rent and Margaret Mckenzie.

There were 35 of 41 eligible delegates credentialed for the House of Delegates and the Speaker-elect, Elliot Turner, gave this report.

Speaker Betsy Blake adopted the agenda of the meeting as there were not objections reported and the minutes were adopted from the previous meeting.

CEO, Craig Burridge, added some additional comments to his written report. He updated the group on the posters for the opioid misuse campaign and showed them to everyone. He mentioned that since the efforts of the program, there has been a tremendous increase in weight of drugs taken back at DEA take back days. Many community retail stores will host year round take back efforts. This group will continue to support community independent stores in the state with materials.

Chairman of the board, Kayce Shealy, had nothing new to present other than her written report that was distributed this morning. She encouraged the group to consider policies to be reviewed by the board.

Past president, Ed Vess, gave the legislative update and had lots of information to share with the group. Most of these are watch and wait at this point, no action for us to take. Pam Whitmire made comments about H6402 regarding ER administering naloxone and reporting to PDMP and what concerns that posts for MAT (OTP). SCPhA is waiting on SCSHP to provide a combined viewpoint. Updates given on S815, H4529, H4600, H4602, H4492, S345, S918

Lynn Connelly provided an update from the Foundation. They are looking to host another bowling tournament in August 2018.

The education committee provided a report for Pharmacy Nights in March 2018. 3/1 (Greenville), 3/8 (Charleston), 3/22 (Columbia), 3/27 (Florence). They will be delivered by Kristy Brittain and will focuse on the opioid crisis and will meet the 1 hr CE controlled substance necessary for licensure.

Terry Blackmon gave an update/clarification from the Board of Pharmacy regarding CE requirements for pharmacists and technicians.

Several former presidents of SCPhA were recognized during this time.

The House of Delegates took a recess for regional caucuses at 1:55 PM. The motion was introduced by Ed Vess and was seconded by Jarrod Tippins.

Speaker, Betsty Blake, called the house back to order at 3:05 PM for debate on the report from the policy committee from the APhA House of Delegates. Megan Montgomery motioned to approve and support by SCPhA and Ed Vess seconded it. The motion received full support from the group.

Hearing no other debate, Betsy Blake opened up the conversation to open forum. Whitney Rent provided an update from the AM Consulting Pharmacists group.

Legislative day will be 2/21/2018 and we are expecting a large crowd.

William Wynn brought up a facebook group that has been created that may be of interest to the larger group regarding pharmacists in South Carolina. Deborah Bowers and Dave Shirley will continue to investigate and glean information about this group and potential impact to SCPhA.

CEO Report For the SCPhA Board of Directors Meeting

April 10, 2018 QS1 Headquarters Conference Room

Ongoing Projects: Medication Safety Matters Grant Program:

• Wrapped up the 2-year Medication Safety Matters grant program. All materials and the Social Media campaign will remain available. This was a highly successful campaign and I wish to thank Katelyn Cheek for all her hard work in organizing and carrying out the Goals that we far exceeded. A special thank you to all of our “Detailing Pharmacists” an din particular Cheryl Anderson for her many presentations to various physician, nursing and other groups.

• This grant has placed SCPhA (and Phrmacy) on the radar as an organization that can get things done.

HTN Grant Program:

• The 4-year, HTN (CD-1422) grant program has been another resounding success thanks to the leadership of Cecily DiPiro and Pattie Fabel. A special thank you to all our HTN pharmacist-coaches for their fine work with our patients. This was another grant program that has received national attention, including the CDC and CMS.

• We are still waiting to here if the HTN grant will be extended. SCPhA has already agrees to continue with DHEC in this endeavor.

Independent Pharmacies in Wrong MAC List in PEBA Rx Plan:

• It was brought to our attention several months ago that an independent pharmacy was losing money filling MAC’d Rx’s for state employees. We assumed he may have been placed into the wrong MAC list based on the differences in reimbursement. This wasn’t the entire story. At the first meeting of the Academy of Independent Pharmacies, we learned that at least four other pharmacies were experiencing the same below cost reimbursements in the PEBA program. So, we reached out via wholesalers, PSAOs, Buying Groups and our own database to see if this issue was widespread or limited. After investigating, it turns out that we were able to figure out that ANY independent who either ‘newly opened,’ or, had a ‘change of ownership in the past two years+ (After the start of the ESI contract with PEBA) were inadvertently excluded from the PEBA Independent Pharmacy MAC list which was put in place after the Catamaran debacle several years ago.

• WE continued our investigation and fond out that ONLY PEBA can place a pharmacy into the independent MAC list. Seems ESI failed to notify PEBA that these new independent pharmacies were in the network AND failed to keep the SAME independent under new ownership in the Independent Mac list.

• SCPhA working with Annie Wilson collected the necessary data from those pharmacies that contacted us and forwarded this information to PEBA. Our first grouping involved 14 pharmacies. All are now in the new MAC list as of Wednesday, March 14. A second wave was sent up on March 21st. Our total assisted pharmacies are 18 (as of writing this report). It has resulted in some new memberships.

2

• What’s next? We have also requested from PEBA that all of the affected independents have their accounts reconciled and that thy be made whole for the underpayments they have received (some for nearly two years). We also requested that PEBA provide us with a contact person there who has the authority to place a newly opened or change of ownership independent in the proper MAC list from the start.

CEO Report For the SCPhA Board of Directors Meeting

June 5, 2018 SCPhA Headquarters

Training Room Ongoing Projects: Medication Safety Matters Grant Program:

• Foundation grant for the Prescription Safety Matters campaign has concluded. Several of our original goals are now self-sustaining including SCRIPTS sign-ups and reviews (now mandatory via law); Year-round Drug Take-back Centers exceed 100 (picked up by two national chains; and Reduced dispensing of opioid prescriptions has been steadily declining going back to the significant increase in SCRIPTS enrollees and monthly reviews. The Prescription Safety Matters resource page will remain active and updated on the SCPhA website. (see attached slides for final goal numbers)

HTN Grant Program: • The 4-year, HTN (CD-1422) grant program had 117 patients enrolled as of our last monthly

conference call with DHEC. • SCPhA working closely with DHEC to submit two grant proposals. One is a CDC-1815 state’s

grant to continue our HTN program and perhaps ad diabetes to the mix. The second is a competitive grant – CDC-1817 which will be some innovative approach to health care not covered in the 1815 grant. Below is a summary of what I had emailed you back in April.

• DHEC discussed SCPhA’s potential of partnering with DHEC for a new CDC 1815 grant (which is awarded to all 50 states and D.C.) based on a formula. SC DHEC estimates (at the top end) that they may receive as much as $1.5 million a year in each of the five (5) years of the grant or $5.25 million. This is the FIRST time that SCPhA has been contacted to participate before the grant was written seeking our input. In the CDC’s Notice of Funding Opportunities, DHEC pointed out several areas where they would like us to potentially participate. They can be found on pp. 8 &9 of the NOFO. They include:

• A.3 Increase engagement of pharmacists in the provision of medication management of DSMES for people with diabetes;

• B.3 Implement Team-Based Care for patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol by supporting engagement of non-physician team members (e.g. nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nutritionists, physical therapists, social workers) in hypertension and cholesterol management in clinical settings);

• B.4 Promote the adoption of MTM between pharmacists and physicians for managing high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and life style modifications;

• B.6 Facilitate use of self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) with clinical support among adults with hypertension; and

• B.7 Implement systems to facilitate systematic referral of adults with hypertension and/or high blood cholesterol to community programs/resources.

• Most of these goals set in this notice we have already been doing as part of the four (4) year, CDC-1422 grant we have been working on with DHEC. We liked the idea that it would include hyperlipidemia and diabetes. This would greatly expand the patient base. Patti

recommended that we include all patients with an uncontrolled CVD health issue. DHEC commented that they will be reaching out to health-systems this grant cycle to get them and their outpatient practices more into referring patients to pharmacists for coaching. I suggested we link pharmacists with hospital discharge people for any patient who presented to the ED with a CVD or HTN health issue. DHEC officials thought that may be a good ‘innovative’ idea for the other CDC grant called an 1817 grant. That grant is like the four (4) year 1422 grant SC DHEC was awarded in the past. The 1817 grant will be a much harder grant to get as it is a competitive grant unlike the 1815 grant. There will only be 15 grants awarded nationally and the grant amounts will be much larger.

• Any ideas for innovative patient care that would reflect off the 1815 grant goals and give us a better chance of getting the second grant as well? We are excited to be ‘asked’ by DHEC at the beginning of the grant making process instead of after the process is near finished. This is because of the fine work of Cecily DiPiro and Patti Fable and all our Pharmacist Coaches who have lifted pharmacy in the eyes of public health officials here in SC and in D.C. A special thanks to the SC Pharmacy Foundation and SCPhA Leadership for supporting the provision of BP monitors to our indigent patients in the program these past four years. Also, a thank you to Katharine who tracked patients, referred patients to their pharmacist coaches and acquired and mailed out hundreds of BP monitors.

• Going after these grants will address SCPhA’s obligation to move the profession of pharmacy forward here in SC

Independent Pharmacies in Wrong MAC List in PEBA Rx Plan: • What’s next? Still working on our requested from PEBA that all the affected independents

have their accounts reconciled and that thy be made whole for the underpayments they have received (some for nearly two years). We also requested that PEBA provide us with a contact person there who has the authority to place a newly opened or change of ownership independent in the proper MAC list from the start. We were tracking a budget proviso inserted into the House’s version of the budget. At the time of this writing, the budget had not yet been voted on. This proviso would codify actions taken by SC Medicaid as it relates to PBM Transparency in pharmacy payments and plan payments in the Medicaid Managed Care arena. Medicaid modified it’s bid to require more transparency on the part of the PBM and plan sponsor and allows SC DSS to audit both PBM and MMCO health plan.
