    • Expanding Pharmacists' Role In Rural Mental Health

    The suicide rate in America is the highest it’s been since the 1950s. Rising feelings of anxiety and depression are being reported in multiple demographics. Even more insidious, according to the National Institutes of Health, mental illness — which often goes undiagnosed — increases the risk of opioid use disorder and can interfere with a person’s ability to make healthcare decisions.

    • Providers Must Prep Now for Future Public Health Emergencies

    Another natural disaster on the news. Buildings and homes destroyed. Flooded streets making safe travel impossible. Power and communications compromised. And, on top of all that, a public health emergency for which affected health systems are ill-prepared. It could be next year, next month or even sometime next week, but it’s a likely future scenario according to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists’ (ASHP) 2024 Pharmacy Forecast.

    • Revolutionizing Crash Cart Management: A Call For Innovation

    In a 2022 report, the Joint Commission revealed a concerning trend: missing and expired items on crash or code carts ranked among the top 5 clinical problems found by surveyors. Shockingly, this isn’t a new issue. The Joint Commission highlighted similar concerns back in 2017, indicating that incomplete or improperly supplied emergency carts continue to pose significant risks to patient safety. Despite years of awareness, little progress has been made in addressing this critical issue.

    • There's No Single Cause Behind The Overdose Epidemic

    There’s a reason you see and hear so much about fentanyl; its potency as an opioid is surpassed only by its ability to damage public health when illicitly manufactured, distributed and misused. But, with stories of fentanyl-fueled tragedy dominating the news, it’s easy to overlook the fact that our nation’s health faces a significant threat from another, very close-at-hand source -- the diversion of drugs stored at home. A look at available data, however, reveals how “loss of custody” of medications at the household level is contributing to the current health emergency.

    • Transforming Drug Diversion Monitoring with AI

    Drug diversion monitoring plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of pharmaceutical supply chains, helping ensure patient safety and preventing illicit activities. It’s worth noting that approximately 1 in every 100 healthcare workers are estimated to divert drugs (Protenus, 2023 Diversion Digest). Relying solely on manual processes to detect anomalies and identify trends that point to drug diversion in the clinical space has proven to be time-consuming, error-prone, and costly. Enter AI — a game-changer that has revolutionized drug diversion monitoring with efficient pattern recognition, real-time insights, and enhanced accuracy.
