The mission of the Iowa Pharmacy Association is to promote safe and effective medication use to improve the health of patients by serving the pharmacy profession.

IPA’s Annual Report to the membership is an opportunity to share our Association’s accomplishments, activities and milestones over the past 12 months. This report focuses on the previous administrative year: July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013.

Every year, the Association is faced with a balancing act. This year proved to be no exception, and some would tell you it has been a balancing act on a 50 foot high tight-wire while juggling flames. The ability to respond to significant external pressures that face pharmacists in today’s healthcare system, while devoting time and resources toward proactive initiatives that advance our profession, is a balancing act very familiar to the Iowa Pharmacy Association. The scale is never at equilibrium and the leadership of IPA makes critical decisions as how to best use the limited resources of a state pharmacy association.

The current external pressures in the health care system, and the profession of pharmacy, are well known to IPA members. Uncertainty of the pharmacist’s role in emerging health care delivery and payment models; continually declining drug product reimbursements; exclusionary provider networks; oversupply of new pharmacy graduates; health insurance exchanges; and diabetes testing supplies to name a few of these pressures. IPA regularly communicates with state and federal legislators and policy makers to advocate for the profession’s position and needs. These issues, at times, seem insurmountable. However, IPA leadership and staff have focused on what IPA can do to protect pharmacy’s infrastructure while informing and engaging pharmacists in all practice settings regarding these significant and concerning changes.

Iowa is fortunate to have a solid foundation and strong history at IPA - not only being successful in reacting to external pressures - but being proactive in advancing the profession of pharmacy. This year was no different. New activities including an ACO (Accountable Care Organization) pilot demonstration, expanded immunization legislation, collaborative patient safety and telepharmacy task forces with the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) regulations, and a smooth transition from AWP to AAC in the Iowa Medicaid program are just a few of the proactive initiatives that the IPA Board has invested in.

An exciting new program this year, IPA Goes Local, has partnered IPA with the local associations across the state and offers patient safety CE to any attending pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. In conjunction with IPA Goes Local, our CEO, Kate Gainer, has visited over 20 pharmacy practices

in the first 4 months of this program. Hearing firsthand from IPA members in their own practice environment helps IPA continually learn of issues that need to be addressed, as well as provides the opportunity for IPA to update members and future members of the efforts put forth by IPA. True to our mission, IPA has spent the past year promoting pharmacists as the medication expert on the healthcare team; protecting pharmacy practice in the state of Iowa; and preparing pharmacists to practice at the top of their degree.

We recognize that pharmacists continue to specialize in unique areas of practice, yet all serve their patients with a common goal – to achieve the best health outcomes from their medication use. As such, we believe it is increasingly important to continue IPA’s strength as a unified organization with ‘One Voice. One Vision.’ for the profession of pharmacy. Similarly, within IPA, the four affiliated organizations: IPA Foundation, Collaborative Education Institute, Iowa Pharmacy Recovery Network, and PNI, Inc; each contribute to the collective achievements of IPA and are important to the overall mission and vision of the Association. You will see IPA-F, CEI, IPRN, and PNI referenced in this report.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve IPA and the pharmacists of this great state. We hope you enjoy this year’s Annual Report to the membership. Sincerely,

2012-2013 IPA Executive CommitteeCarl Chalstrom, RPh, Chairman of the BoardJulie Kuhle, RPh, PresidentMichele Evink, MS, PharmD, CGP, President-electCarrie Koenigsfeld, PharmD, FAPhA, Speaker of the HouseAl Shepley, RPh, TreasurerKate Gainer, PharmD, Secretary

Articulating pharmacy’s vision for the role of pharmacists in today’s evolving health care system requires an active presence before public and private sector policy making bodies. It also demands that IPA pursue changes in a way that embraces a spirit of cooperation and collaboration as well as a global perspective on issues which confront all health care professionals.

• IPA’s 36th Annual Legislative Day, Paint it White, was held in February and included a legislator breakfast, student pharmacist health screenings, and over 250 pharmacists and student pharmacists in white lab coats descending on Capitol Hill to meet with their legislators and use their collective voice for pharmacy advocacy. This year’s grassroots campaign focused on immunization authority, MTM in Medicaid, and PBM regulation.

• IPA’s 14th Annual Political Leadership Breakfast featured US Senator Charles Grassley. Sen. Grassley provided IPA members a unique perspective on health care reform including preferred pharmacy networks and diabetes supplies, and engaged attendees in an active Q & A session. Over 55 members attended, raising funds for the Iowa Pharmacy Political Action Committee (IPPAC).

• IPA established an IPPAC Advisory Committee in 2012. The primary goals include fundraising for the IPPAC, determining contributions to political candidates, and coordinating delivery of contributions by IPA members to local legislators.

• IPA hosted Pre- & Post-Election Briefings to provide members with a better understanding of pharmacy and health care implications of the 2012 presidential, congressional, and state elections.

• IPA worked with Iowa Medicaid Enterprise to implement a new reimbursement methodology of AAC (actual acquisition cost) + dispensing fee of $10.02, determined by a cost-of-dispensing survey, conducted in the fall of 2012. The new reimbursement structure became effective February 1, 2013.

• IPA member Sharon Meyer, PharmD, MS was appointed by Governor Branstad to serve her 1st term on the Iowa Board of Pharmacy. IPA member DeeAnn Wedemeyer-Oleson, PharmD retired after serving the state for six years.

• IPA member John Forbes was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives, Iowa’s first elected pharmacist legislator in over 10 years.

• Legislative Advisory Committee Chair Steve Firman, RPh, led a delegation of Iowa pharmacists to Washington, DC to participate in NCPA’s 2013 Legislative Conference.

• IPA staff and lobbyists worked on key legislative issues during 2013 Legislative Session:

PHARMACIST IMMUNIZATION AUTHORITYGovernor Branstad signed SF 353, a law that provides expanded authority for pharmacists to administer immunizations via protocol to patients 18 and older (all CDC recommended) and patients 6 and older (influenza and emergency ordered). IPA worked closely with legislators and the medical community to find compromise language that ensured patient safety, increased access, lowered healthcare costs, and improved public health outreach through pharmacist immunizations.

DHS BUDGET - MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT - MTMIPA successfully lobbied for a 1% increase in the pharmacy dispensing fee. In 2013, when no cost-of-dispensing survey is conducted, the fee will increase to $10.12. As part of a cost-savings strategy for the state, language was included in the DHS budget to provide MTM (medication therapy management) services for Medicaid recipients. This section did not pass out of conference committee during the final hours of session.

TELEPHARMACYLegislation passed in 2013 granting the Board of Pharmacy authority to extend innovative practice pilot projects, including telepharmacy sites, beyond 18 months. The Board shall report back to the legislature what is necessary to fully implement telepharmacy in the state of Iowa.

Caring for patients and promoting the value of the pharmacist on the health care team requires an innovative and quality program of professional and public education. In cooperation with Iowa’s two colleges of pharmacy and the profession’s national organizations, IPA engages in a variety of initiatives to strengthen the value of pharmacy’s contributions to quality health care.

• The Collaborative Education Institute (CEI), a joint initiative founded in 2008 with stakeholders including the IPA Foundation, The University of Iowa College of Pharmacy, and Drake University

College of Pharmacy, continues to be a leader in providing innovative live and web-based continuing pharmacy education (CPE) in the areas of preceptor development, health care quality, immunization administration, health coaching, and up to date clinical, management, law and patient safety activities which assist pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in advancing their continuing professional development (CPD).

• 2013 marked another successful year and many changes for the IPA Educational Expo. The Expo was held in February at Prairie Meadows Events and Conference Center in Altoona and had record attendance from pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists with more than 450 participants. This year also marked the first year of a multidisciplinary conference held on Friday of the Expo, at which pharmacists, physicians, and other prescribers learned in a collaborative environment about pain management.

• IPA Goes Local – a new partnership with local pharmacy associations launched in 2013. In the first year, IPA has partnered with local associations to provide patient safety CPE to all Iowa pharmacists.

• IPA worked with CEI to provide complimentary pharmacy law and patient safety CPE for IPA members in 2012 and 2013. A Federal Pharmacy Law Update webinar was provided to IPA members, and patient safety CPE was made available to all Iowa pharmacists through IPA Goes Local.

• CEI continues to provide preceptor development education to enhance pharmacist preceptors’ knowledge and skills in teaching student pharmacists. CEI offers online activities

through schools of pharmacy across the country, including a partnership with E*Value, a major player in software used to administer experiential programs. CEI currently works with 30 schools of pharmacy to provide preceptor education.

• IPA worked with CEI to develop TEAM (Technician Education for Association Members). TEAM offers all pharmacy technician members 10 pharmacy technician CPE monographs, and follows the PTCB Blueprint Domains. In addition, CEI continues to focus on pharmacy technician education, and offered live activities at both Expo and the Annual Pharmacy Technician Educational Forum.

• CEI’s preceptor development education includes Log-In To Learn, an online, interactive journal club which provides a discussion and teaching format for pharmacists and student pharmacists to keep current in the latest research and clinical implications published in the primary literature.

• CEI offers its practice-based Immunization Administration Training program to pharmacists in Iowa and North Carolina, Hy-Vee pharmacists in 8 states, and other pharmacy chain groups nationwide through Drug Store News. In 2012-2013, CEI trained nearly 200 pharmacists, and hundreds more through the Drug Store News partnership.

• CEI continued their work on Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and works actively with ACPE’s CPD Taskforce in order to advance CPD nationally. CEI also worked actively with the Iowa Board of Pharmacy to develop rules to accept a CPD portfolio in lieu of CPE hours for re-licensure.

• CEI was awarded a grant through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create and disseminate a webinar, Team Up. Pressure Down. Coaching Patients to Take Control, through the Million Hearts™ initiative. More than 4,000 pharmacists completed this CPE activity live or on demand through promotional partnerships with Power-Pak CE® and 25 state pharmacy associations.

PHARMACY TECHNICIANEDUCATIONAL FORUM

Helping pharmacists transform their practices to meet the demands of emerging health care delivery models is a priority focus for IPA. This includes developing both an environment for patient care practice and a pharmacy workforce capable of delivering valued patient care services.

• IPA worked closely with Unity Point Health System and the Trinity Pioneer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) to integrate community pharmacists with local physicians and the health system to improve patient care. The ACO project will reimburse pharmacists based on quality care and will support providers who appropriately and efficiently use health care resources in an 8-county region centered around Fort Dodge. Project partners include the University of Iowa COP, OutcomesMTM, with funding from McKesson, the Community Pharmacy Foundation, and the NACDS Foundation.

• IPA’s New Practice Model Task Force continued its work to advance the profession through redesigning community pharmacy practice. The Task Force is working with the Iowa Board of Pharmacy and interested pharmacies to serve as pilot sites for a project that would evaluate the outcome of increasing pharmacy technicians’ role and reducing the pharmacists’ role in dispensing functions. Its mission is: To create a pharmacy practice model that fully utilizes the knowledge and expertise of pharmacists to improve patients’ health outcomes and provide a safer, more efficient and cost effective medication use system.

• IPA promoted the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI), which seeks the most effective use of pharmacists as direct patient care providers. Five IPA member health-system pharmacies have implemented tech-check-tech programs.

• IPA worked with the Iowa Healthcare Collaborative (IHC) and the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) in Iowa to integrate pharmacist services in reducing hospital readmissions and reducing medication adverse events.

• IPA actively promoted pharmacist-provided medication therapy management (MTM) services through programs which currently compensate pharmacists for providing MTM, including OutcomesMTM, Mirixa and Iowa Medicaid.

• IPA partnered with the Alliance for Patient Safety Medication, a Patient Safety Organization for pharmacy data, and supports the 350 Iowa pharmacies using Pharmacy Quality Commitment (PQC), a continuous quality improvement program designed to reduce pharmacy errors and improve patient safety.

• IPA partnered with researchers from Drake University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences to conduct a Technician Workforce Study. Primary responsibilities, compensation and

workload, have been collected and will be presented at the national and state level.

• Since 2009, IPA has administered TakeAway, a statewide medication disposal program. Over 450 pharmacies in all 99 Iowa counties participate in TakeAway, and more than 60,000 pounds of medication have been collected.

• The TakeAway mascot, Pill Dude, has appeared at local health fairs, parades, and community events with pharmacists and student pharmacists across the state!

• Many Iowa TakeAway pharmacies partnered with local law enforcement to participate in bi-annual National DEA TakeBack Days, giving patients and consumers an option to properly dispose of controlled substances in accordance with DEA rules.

• The Journal of the Iowa Pharmacy Association publishes peer reviewed articles in each quarterly publication. 23 scholarly articles have been contributed to the pharmacy literature through JIPA.

• National Action Plan to Increase Patient Access to Pharmacists’ Clinical Services, a meeting held in Los Angeles, CA for pharmacy leaders to slate draft principles to recognize pharmacists as health care providers was attended by Iowa pharmacists, including Steve Firman, Kate Gainer, Julie Kuhle, Patty Kumbera, Don Letendre, Matt Osterhaus, and Anthony Pudlo. • IPA worked with the Iowa Department of Public (IDPH), to incorporate pharmacist clinical and preventative services in the Community Transformation Grant, to focus on blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes.
