Shaping the Future of Pharmacy: Trends to Watch
Central topics at ASHP Midyear 2024 include 3 trends that are shaping the future of pharmacy. From RFID tagging to operational dashboards, this article takes a look at these trends and the role they'll play in the future of health care.
From School to the Workforce, Burnout Plagues Every Level of Pharmacy
From students to seasoned professionals, the pharmacy field is grappling with widespread burnout. High academic pressures, workload, and inadequate support systems contribute to mental health challenges among pharmacy students, while practicing pharmacists face staffing shortages, long hours, and unrealistic expectations. These stressors jeopardize job satisfaction, patient care quality, and workforce retention. Addressing this issue requires systemic changes, including improved education support, workplace reforms, and expanded mental health resources.
Insurance Company Halts Plan to Put Time Limits on Coverage for Anesthesia During Surgery
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield withdrew a controversial policy that would have capped coverage for anesthesia time during surgeries, following backlash from anesthesiologists and medical professionals. Critics argued the policy reflected a misunderstanding of surgical complexities and risked patient safety. Anthem stated the policy aimed to clarify guidelines but faced claims it lacked evidence of overbilling issues. The decision to halt the policy alleviates concerns about undue pressure on providers and potential patient harm.
