    To build off of our early success, additional systems and tracking capabilities are being explored related to the following:

    • Bi-directional tracking of referrals
    • Care managers to pharmacists
    • Pharmacists to care managers
    • Delivery drivers as community health workers
    • Drug class specific interventions (ex. a focus on opioids)
    • Disease state specific interventions (ex. a focus on asthma or type 2 diabetes)
    • Formal interventions focused on dialing patients back into the services/resources offered by health plans

    PPCN is actively discussing collaborations with multiple health plans, public health entities, and healthcare consultant companies

  • Hotspotting Without A Patient by Mirna Rezkalla, BS, PharmD Candidate; Nicole Lenegan, BSN, RN; and Elena Umland, PharmD

    Hotspotting Without A Patient

    Mirna Rezkalla, BS, PharmD Candidate; Nicole Lenegan, BSN, RN; and Elena Umland, PharmD

    Introduction

    • Interprofessional (IP) teamwork is the foundation for successful patient care outcomes. Numerous issues can arise from poor teamwork stemming from the lack of acknowledgment and appreciation of the roles of each healthcare provider.
    • Throughout our training in school, students often become focused on their own profession and develop biases or perceptions of the other members of other healthcare disciplines.
    • The Hotspotting program provides students the opportunity to eliminate biases and clarify perceptions.

  • Employing Pharmacy Students to Improve the Medication Use Process for Underserved Patients with a History of Mental Health or Substance Use Disorders by Ashley Maister, PharmD Candidate; Toni Campanella, PharmD Candidate; and Roshni S. Patel, PharmD, BCPS

    Employing Pharmacy Students to Improve the Medication Use Process for Underserved Patients with a History of Mental Health or Substance Use Disorders

    Ashley Maister, PharmD Candidate; Toni Campanella, PharmD Candidate; and Roshni S. Patel, PharmD, BCPS

    Project HOME is a non-profit organization in Philadelphia that provides housing, employment opportunities, medical care, and education for chronically homeless individuals with serious mental health conditions.

    One nurse oversees the medication use process at three of Project HOME’s residences; however, non-clinical staff are responsible for carrying out the medication use process.

    The purpose of this project was to identify how the Jefferson College of Pharmacy’s APhA-ASP chapter could assist Project HOME with their medication-related needs and improve the medication use process.

  • The Effect of Undergraduate Exposure and Experience on Choosing to Pursue a Pharmacy Degree by Erica M. McGovern, MS; Andrew Stacy, BS; Elena Schmidt, PhD, MA; and Elena Umland, PharmD

    The Effect of Undergraduate Exposure and Experience on Choosing to Pursue a Pharmacy Degree

    Erica M. McGovern, MS; Andrew Stacy, BS; Elena Schmidt, PhD, MA; and Elena Umland, PharmD

    BACKGROUND

    • Shortage of pharmacists identified by Department of Health and Human Services in 20001
    • Despite investment of significant recruitment resources to achieve optimum enrollment, fewer applications are being submitted for consideration to pharmacy school, and the number of students pursuing pharmacy school continues to decline2
    • American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Recruitment Admissions Task Force speculates that qualified candidates may be pursuing other healthcare professions due to lack of awareness of and limited exposure to the expanding role of the pharmacist2
    • Limited studies have been conducted to evaluate the primary factors motivating students to pursue a career in pharmacy

    Poster presented at: AACP Annual Meeting at Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

  • Methemoglobinemia in Acetaminophen Overdose and Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency by Maelen Ignacio, PharmD; Colin Craft, MD; Fern M. Martin, MD; and Cara McDaniel, PharmD, BCPS

    Methemoglobinemia in Acetaminophen Overdose and Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

    Maelen Ignacio, PharmD; Colin Craft, MD; Fern M. Martin, MD; and Cara McDaniel, PharmD, BCPS

    Background:

    • Methemoglobin (MetHb) is formed when the iron moiety of hemoglobin (Hgb) is oxidized from ferrous (Fe2+) to ferric (Fe3+) state à impaired O2 delivery to tissues
    • Acetaminophen Metabolism:

    ~90% is metabolized in liver via sulfation and glucuronidation

    remainder is metabolized via CYP450 to a toxic oxidizing agent, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), which is detoxified via glutathione1

    • Acute Acetaminophen Overdose:

    saturates sulfation and glucuronidation pathways

    depletes glutathione stores

    leads to excess NAPQI à oxidative stress à methemoglobinemia1

    • MetHb Reduction Pathway:

    cytochrome b5 reductase removes 95% to 99% of endogenous MetHb

    nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH

  • Daptomycin Non-Susceptible MRSA Bacteremia: A Case Report by Jaclyn Cusumano, PharmD; Anna Marie Morlino, PharmD; and Andrew Moyer, PharmD

    Daptomycin Non-Susceptible MRSA Bacteremia: A Case Report

    Jaclyn Cusumano, PharmD; Anna Marie Morlino, PharmD; and Andrew Moyer, PharmD

    Background

    Staphylococcus aureus1, 2, 3

    • One of the most common pathogens causing community-acquired and nosocomial infections
    • Has rapidly developed resistance to many antibiotics:

    Daptomycin 2

    • Bactericidal cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic
    • Possesses negative charge which attracts calcium to form cationic complex
    • Interacts with negatively charged phospholipid heads on bacterial cell membranes, leading to membrane depolarization and cell death

    Daptomycin non-susceptible (DNS) S. aureus 2, 4, 5

    • Extremely rare - About 60 clinical cases reported
    • Defined by an MIC greater than 1 mcg/mL
    • Potential mechanisms include:

    – Changes in cell membrane and cell wall structure alter daptomycin’s permeability2

    • Overexpression and dysregulation of dltA transcription increases D-alanylated teichoic acid content in the cell wall
    • mprF mutation leads to partially neutral charge of cell membrane

    – Vancomycin intermediate S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin resistant S. aureus (VRSA) may predispose patients to develop DNS S. aureus2

    • Have seen increased resistance with lower doses4, 5

    – 4 to 6 mg/kg/day has higher rates of DNS S. aureus

    – Experts recommend doses ≥ 8mg/kg/day especially for bacteremia
