How to get internal stakeholders (clinical and non-clinical) to buy into a new pharmacy? Stakeholders should be involved during each stage of new pharmacy to build support for it, provide suggestions for its design, and participate in evaluation and continuous quality improvement activities. Involving stakeholders during all stages of the company can lead to an early buy in, successful program design, and establishment of long-term support for the company (Caleb, 2015). Implementing strategies is very important when getting a new company off the ground. The very most important strategy is communication. Communicating regularly with stakeholders is the key to getting them to invest in a new company. Ongoing communication represents another …show more content…
Both hospital and community pharmacists have a significant role to play in advocacy of opening a new pharmacy. Advocacy is a tool that has the potential to have a profound impact on a pharmacy practice. Legislation is changing. Governments and pharmacy governing bodies are continuing to work to increase the scope of practice of pharmacists, leaving companies with an incredible opportunity to grow. Pharmacists also need to take responsibility for advocating through the interactions with patients, other health care professionals and the public. This is a call to action for the entire profession. If the majority of pharmacists do so, the potential for growth, increased patient awareness and sustainability and advancement of this profession are endless (Maryland & Gonzalez, …show more content…

    Analysis Of Big Pharma By David Badcott

    In David Badcott’s position paper “Big Pharma: A Former Insider’s View,” Badcott makes the assumption that the future of healthcare will predominately focus on the administration pharmaceutical drugs, which is not true because drugs can cause complications in individuals and thus require medical attention from healthcare practitioners. Badcott implies that the services of healthcare professionals will become obsolete. This implication is not true because there are healthcare services that do not primarily focus on treatment with medicinal drugs. Although pharmaceutical drugs play a huge role in the current healthcare industry, the role of the medical practitioner is as equally important. Badcott states the effectiveness of newer pharmaceutical drugs allow for the reduction of “total health expenditures by lowering the need for other types of medical services” (Badcott 252).…

However, there are often barriers that contribute to patients not receiving the best outcomes. For instance, many patients are unable to access healthcare due to their socioeconomic status; 23 million Americans are uninsured despite the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) expanded coverage (source?), resulting in necessary healthcare services not being utilized.…

    Disease Mongering Essay

    Campaigns addressing health concerns, organised by pharmaceutical companies, commonly align with the release of a new drug to the market to treat the health concern. Since new treatment drugs often spend years in the approval stage and undergo many trials to ensure consumer safety, it makes no sense that marketing campaigns produce the demand for drugs. It would be nonsensical and uneconomical for a pharmaceutical company to produce drugs for which they need to create their own market. Ultimately, consumers decide which conditions are requiring of treatment.…

    Importance Of My Mentor Experience

    My Mentor Experience I had a very wonderful experience with my mentor last semester, so when it was time for a new mentor to be assigned to me, I did not know what to expect. I wondered if it was going to be a similar experience, or not so good one. I did not know what to expect because I didn’t explore the previous one because of time constraints. I was so worried on how to prepare myself for this new encounter. However, I am very optimistic in my daily activities and can only hope that it was going to be a positive involvement.…

    Reflection On Professional Organizations

    Reflection On Professional Organizations I have been conducting research on some professional organizations and I have determined that ASHP would be a good match for me. This is because ASHP is an organization that is heavily involved in advocating legislation to benefit pharmacists, patients, and the health care system. Some of the most important issues to me are getting the pharmacist more involved in a patient’s health care and to make health care in general more efficient. ASHP is attempting to accomplish these tasks by actively advocating legislation to meet their goals.…
