Developing sustainable workflows for community pharmacy-based SARS-CoV-2 testing

Shanna O'Connor, Patricia Healey, Nicole Mark, Jennifer L. Adams, Renee Robinson, Elaine Nguyen

Journal of the American Pharmacists Association, Volume 62, Issue 1, pp. 253-259, 2021

This study describes the successful rapid implementation of a COVID-19 testing program across 13 community pharmacies in Idaho from September-December 2020, which performed 2,425 tests and demonstrated that independent pharmacies can effectively expand public health testing capacity, particularly in rural and underserved areas. The program achieved rapid deployment (less than one month for most sites) and accounted for 5.1% of statewide testing by December 2020, providing a replicable model for pharmacy-based public health initiatives.

Stages of Change: Moving Community Pharmacies From a Drug Dispensing to Population Health Management Model

Kea Turner, Morris Weinberger, Chelsea Renfro, Byron J. Powell, Stefanie Ferreri, Justin G. Trodgon, Nicole Mark, Troy Trygstad, Christopher M. Shea

Medical Care Research and Review, Volume 78, Issue 1, pp. 57-67, 2019

This study examined how 40 community pharmacies in North Carolina implemented a Medicaid population health management intervention, comparing implementation strategies between high- and low-performing pharmacies using Rogers's innovation implementation framework. The research found that while both groups used similar strategies, high-performing pharmacies executed them more effectively and were more likely to reach sustainment, particularly in areas like stakeholder engagement, staff training, and relationship-building with primary care providers.

Evolution of the Pharmacy Practice Model to Improve Patient and Learner Outcomes: A Partnership in Patient Care Initiative (PIPC) in the HSCT Population

Khan, T., Muluneh, B., Alexander, M., Lasater, K., Hoang, V., Olson, L., Patel, R., Mark, N., Smith, K., Savage, S., Poppe, L.

Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, Volume 18, Issue 2, Supplement, pp. S240, 2012

This pilot program evaluated the feasibility of implementing a layered learning practice model (LLPM) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) care. The initiative shifted from a clinical specialist-driven model to an Attending Pharmacist overseeing a pharmacy team including Decentral Pharmacists, residents, and students. Results showed 100% capture rates for medication histories, discharge counseling, and medication reconciliation, while increasing educational opportunities and pharmacy service visibility. The model demonstrated significant patient benefits and improved learner capacity in specialized HSCT pharmacy care.
