PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
MARGARET SODEN, RPH
They traveled together because the Upjohn
rep had a 4 wheel drive car and it was -30
degrees.
Happy New Year, everyone!
I hope all of you enjoyed the holidays and
spent time with family and friends.
February is coming up quickly and it will be
time for our Association’s annual
convention. The Convention Committee has
a jam-packed weekend planned with just the
right combination of continuing education
and social activities. I haven’t missed very
many conventions in my 40 years of
membership and it is always great to see old
friends from all around the state.
My recollections of the Glenn Highway at
that time are that it wasn’t a bad road by
Alaska standards but narrow and very curvy
so a little dicey traveling in the cold and
dark days of winter. Parke-Davis and
Upjohn no longer exist as independent
companies and “drug reps” as we knew
them are long gone as well. Like Emil, they
traveled all over the state so when they came
to the pharmacy, they got us caught up on all
the news as well as talking us in buying their
latest Motrin or Coricidin “deal”.
Speaking of old friends, Bill and Sarah
Altland recently moved into a new home
and Bill came across some correspondence
from another old friend, Emil Cekada. Bill
thought I might enjoy reading Emil’s letters
since they were filled with Emil’s
remembrances of how it was in the early
days and his travels throughout the state in
1970’s and 1980’s as Area Pharmacy
Officer for the Alaska Native Health
Service. Emil was also on the Alaska
Board of Pharmacy and did pharmacy
inspections in all parts of the state when he
traveled to various ANHS locations. He
comments on the logistics of traveling to
places in SE Alaska as well as a road trip he
and the drug reps from Parke-Davis and
Upjohn took to Glennallen and Tok in
November 1972.
This will be my last letter as President of the
Association. It has been a pleasure to serve
again and the job has been made easier
because there have been great people taking
leadership positions on the Board of
Directors and as chairs of various
committees. And without Nancy Davis as
Executive Director none of us could
function very well. She not only keeps us
organized and thrifty with our money but is
a great advocate for our Association.

Pharmacists are clearly an important part of the
solution to rapidly escalating health care costs and
to improving health care delivery. Maximizing the
expertise and scope of pharmacists, and minimizing
expansion barriers to successful health care delivery
models, is the right thing to do for our patients.”
“The discussion and evidence-based models
compiled in this report are great examples of the
quality care and sustainable patient outcomes that
pharmacists provide to their patients and the
healthcare system,” stated Thomas Menighan,
APhA, CEO and Executive Vice President. “APhA
is excited to see the amazing recognition of
pharmacists as health care providers that this report
has earned in the medical community, especially
from Dr. Benjamin. The report clearly demonstrates
that pharmacists can increase quality and decrease
costs when barriers are removed. The time has
come for pharmacists to be recognized as health
care providers and essential members of the health
care team. We look forward to further advocating
for the recognition of pharmacists’ services and
partnering with the health care community to ensure
those services are widely implemented.”
National Pharmacy Update
Amber L Briggs, PharmD, BC-ADM, CGP, BCPS, FASCP
American Pharmacists Association (APhA):
As reported by APhA: A new report released by
U.S. Public Health Service provides a resource to
advance beyond discussion of pharmacists in
expanded roles and move toward implementation.
The report has also earned support for the
recognition of pharmacists as health care providers
and clinicians. The report, Improving Patient and
Health System Outcomes through Advanced
Pharmacy Practice – A Report to the Surgeon
General 2011, produced letters of support from
prominent members of the medical community
including the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Regina
Benjamin, MD, MBA. “The report demonstrates
through evidence-based outcomes, that many
pharmacy practice models improve patient and
health system outcomes and optimize primary care
access and delivery,” stated Benjamin in her letter
of support for the report. “It also provides the
evidence health leaders and policy makers need to
support evidence-based models of cost effective
patient care that utilize the expertise and
contributions of our nation’s pharmacists as an
essential part of the healthcare team.” The report
provides rationale and discussion points to support
pharmacists currently delivering patient care
services through collaborative practice agreements
with physicians and other primary care clinicians, as
an accepted model of improved health care delivery
that can meet growing health care demands in the
United States. Timing of this discussion is vital as
health reform has stimulated exploration of
innovative care models and payment reform to
improve access to care, improve the quality of care,
and provide cost-effective care. The report
discusses current and future demands on the health
care system, including the challenge of aligning
health care coverage with access to care, the
increasing burden of chronic care needs and
primary care provider shortages.
“Pharmacists in the Public Health Service have
been positively affecting the lives of their patients
while saving money for nearly 50 years,” said
RADM Scott Giberson, U.S. Assistant Surgeon
General and Chief Professional Officer, Pharmacy,
and one of the co-authors of the report. “This report
demonstrates the value pharmacists bring when they
become full members of the health care team.
National Community Pharmacy Association
(NCPA):
Changes proposed by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) could create turmoil for
independent community pharmacies providing longterm care (LTC) services and especially for those
pharmacies in underserved rural areas (e.g. Alaska
communities). In response to inadequate data and
the alleged wrongdoing by one national LTC
pharmacy corporation, CMS has suggested
requiring all LTC facilities to contract solely with
consultant pharmacists who have no affiliations to
any in-facility LTC pharmacy, pharmaceutical
manufacturer, or drug wholesaler. "If implemented
as proposed, these requirements could compromise
patient health," said NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey,
RPh, MBA. "We look forward to working
constructively with CMS and Congress to advance
their goals in a more practical manner." NCPA
made a number of points, including the following:
•
5
CMS should gather more rigorous, empirical
data before concluding that such disruptive
regulatory mandates are warranted. In
proposing its changes, CMS relied on
insufficient data that, in many instances,
•
•
•
FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse
Event Reporting Program:
Amber Briggs, AkPhA Past President
cannot be broadly applied or has been
rendered moot by subsequent industry
developments.
CMS should consider exempting three
groups from the requirements. First, rural
LTC facilities, which may not be able to
find or afford the services of a consultant
pharmacist who meets the proposed
requirements; second, so-called "combo
shops," which serve both traditional out
patient, or retail, customers as well as LTC
residents, and therefore do not have access
to the manufacturer rebate payments that
concern CMS; and, third, privately owned,
independent LTC pharmacies as they have
not been associated with the drug-cost
inflation and alleged activities that prompted
CMS' proposal. For example, one report
found that, from 2004-2009, the average
cost per prescription dispensed increased
nearly 40 percent for corporate-owned LTC
pharmacy providers whereas the comparable
figure for independent, privately owned
LTC pharmacies was just five percent.
If it ultimately decides to implement such
changes, CMS should delay the effective
date past the proposed Jan. 1, 2013 date.
That's because another significant regulatory
requirement—that LTC pharmacies dispense
certain high-cost drugs in shorter, 14-day (or
less) cycles—is also set to take effect on that
date, potentially creating havoc for LTC
pharmacies and their patients.
Legislative Committee Report
Submitted by Barry Christensen,
Committee Chair
The 2012 Legislature is in full motion now and
AkPhA is monitoring and sponsoring legislation
that seeks to promote and defend the profession of
Pharmacy. Currently, there are over a DOZEN bills
introduced related to pharmacy! This year is the
second in a 2-year cycle and AkPhA is pleased to
announce that Representatives Cathy Munoz and
Peggy Wilson have introduced HB 259 relating to
Pharmacy Audits. AkPhA members briefed
legislators on this issue during the 2011 fly-in last
March. AkPhA is seeking examples from
Pharmacies regarding audit abuses by PBM’s or
insurance companies. Recently, we had one Alaska
Pharmacy report that an $86 dollar claims
discrepancy (out of over $100,000 in claims
audited) resulted in an extrapolated repayment
demand of $7,500! This is evidence of the need for
fair audit legislation. Please contact the association
is you have specific examples to share. NOTE:
Pharmacy names will not be shared in
documentation to the legislature.
Additionally, AkPhA is pursuing introduction of
legislation that would serve to attract and recruit
Pharmacists to Alaska thru loan forgiveness based
on service.
Please plan to attend the AkPhA annual convention
on February 18th and participate in the Legislative
& Government Affairs continuing education
session. Updates will be available on the pending
Alaska legislation as well as from the Board of
Pharmacy, the Prescription Drug Monitoring
Program (PDMP), Pacific NW regional issues and
on the annual legislative fly-in to Juneau in March.
Please contact me at: [email protected] if
you have questions or would like to serve on the
AkPhA Legislative Committee.

FDA Medwatch Report:
The FDA advised healthcare professionals and
patients of a potential problem with opiate products
manufactured
and
packaged
for
Endo
Pharmaceuticals by Novartis Consumer Health at its
Lincoln, Nebraska manufacturing site. Due to
problems that occurred when these products were
packaged and labeled at the site, tablets from one
product type may have carried over into packaging
of another product. This could result in a stray pill
of one medicine ending up in the bottle of another
product. The FDA advises patients and healthcare
professionals to examine opiate medicines made by
Endo in their possession and ensure that all tablets
are the same. Healthcare professionals and patients
are encouraged to report adverse events or side
effects related to the use of these products to the
6
receive funds which are covered by the state
of Alaska, the $7,100 yearly support fee
provided to pharmacy students must be paid
back to the state after graduation.
While there seems to be no financial benefit
for applying to the WICHE program,
Alaskan students can still gain an advantage
by participating in the WICHE program.
Being an established WICHE student
provides preferential acceptance to WICHE
participating schools. This allows Alaska
students which meet the minimum
requirements for acceptance in a pharmacy
school an upper hand on admissions.
Students that hold a highly competitive
college application won't need the assistance
WICHE provides. However, those students
that may be passed over due to highly
qualified peers will still benefit.
Juneau Fly-in
In light of the lackluster financial support
WICHE offers Alaskan pharmacy students,
AKPhA is planning on making financial
support to our pharmacy students a priority
during this year's fly in and is working on a
bill to address loan repayment with a
preference to Alaska students to address outof-state tuition differentials.
Creighton University
The deadline for applications to Creighton
University's Doctor of Pharmacy distance
pathway is March 1st. This is the second
year of the UA/Creighton initiative in which
5 of the distance seats will be reserved for
qualified Alaskan applicants. Last year two
Alaskan students applied and were accepted
into the program. Representatives from
Creighton will be on UAA campus this
spring to conduct interviews with qualified
applicants.
Pharmacy Ed Committee Report
Prepared by Deb Cieplak, Committee
Possible University of Alaska
Pharmacy School Partnership
While the idea of the University of Alaska
forming and supporting its own school of
pharmacy has been ruled out, Jan Harris has
been working towards the possibility of
building a partnership. A partnership would
entail an established school of pharmacy
supporting a satellite campus here in Alaska.
Last fall several letters of interest were sent
out to schools of pharmacy and Jan has been
corresponding with the reciprocators. Jan
will provide an update for us during the
AKPhA annual convention. Jan is hopeful to
have an agreement in place by fall of 2012.
Pacific University School of Pharmacy
(Hillsboro Oregon)
Last fall, the dean of Pacific University
School of Pharmacy approached UA in
order to increase the number of applicants
and students from Alaska that apply to and
attend their school. While no formal
agreement has been made, Pacific
University will guarantee an interview to
ALL qualified Alaska resident candidates.
Additionally, Pacific University has recently
been established as a WICHE school.
WICHE Program –
Good News- Bad News
The Western Interstate Commission on
Higher Education was established by its 15
member states to improve the access to
higher education and ensure student success.
Unfortunately, in the case of Alaskan
pharmacy students, this does not mean a
decrease in COST for that access. While

Opportunities for Technicians to
Receive Live CE
Last year's pilot program for Technician CE
via Elluminate Live and UAA's Topics in
Pharmacy class went smoothly. This year
we are hoping to expand the program and
bring a few more opportunities to
technicians to receive live CE. The class
meets each Wednesday evening from 6pm to
7:30pm between January 18th and April
25th. Not all classes will be offered for CE,
but Nancy will get the word out once the
schedule is worked out with the presenters
and the instructor. Technician CE through
this program will be free to members. Non
members will be charged a $20.00 fee per
credit hour by AKPhA. Technicians that
wish to participate will need computer web
access and a headset (or microphone and
speakers).

Outcomes Feature Encounter - Altered Compliance
Outcomes Personal Pharmacist, Eric Youngblood, at Walgreens Drug Store 12680 in
Anchorage, AK, became aware of a patient’s poor adherence by acting on a TIP® through the
Targeted Intervention Program. The patient had been non-compliant with her anti-depressant
medication, increasing the risk of complications associated from the patient’s current disease state.
The pharmacist educated the patient about the importance of taking the medication every day and
upon follow-up, patient had been adherent to the prescribed medication therapy regimen avoiding
future complications associated with the disease state. Way to go, Eric!

PHARMACY MARKETING GROUP, INC
AND THE LAW
By Don. R. McGuire Jr., R.Ph., J.D.
This series, Pharmacy and the Law, is presented by Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company and your State
Pharmacy Association through Pharmacy Marketing Group, Inc., a company dedicated to providing quality products
and services to the pharmacy community.
RECORDKEEPING ISN’T THAT
IMPORTANT, IS IT?
Terry at Midtown Pharmacy was
dealing with another recurring
frustration. Their usual generic brand
of atenolol was backordered again.
Terry ordered in a couple of 100 count
bottles to hold them over until their
usual brand was available again. Terry
didn’t bother to update their computer
database to reflect this change because
she would then just have to change it
back again 2 days from now. The
change isn’t really that important
anyway, right?
very problem. The patient was sure
that the excessive dose delivered had
caused him to be hospitalized. The
pharmacy staff went through months
of anxiety and expense while
producing records and being deposed.
What everyone learned at the end was
that the patch received by the patient
wasn’t manufactured by company A.
He had received patches manufactured
by company B. This was discovered
when reviewing the invoices from the
time period in question. Company B’s
product had been purchased because of
the recall of company A’s patches.
However, the patient profile indicated
that the patient had received Company
A’s patches. Proper recordkeeping
would have most likely prevented this
pharmacy from suffering through
months of litigation.
Wrong. Your documentation is the
only thing you will have later to prove
what you did today. We all forget
things, especially when they come up
weeks or months later. Consider the
following claim scenario.
A pharmacy was sued by a former
patient over some faulty transdermal
fentanyl patches. The patient alleged
that he was injured due to the patch
releasing the medication too quickly.
The patient’s profile indicated that he
received the patch manufactured by
company A. Company A’s product
had in fact been recalled due to this
A second consideration here is billing. In
today’s world, it is more important than ever to
bill for what was actually dispensed. Third
party payers expect and demand that their
customers receive the product that is billed to
the third party payer. While the 2 different
fentanyl patches discussed above may be
clinically interchangeable, they are probably
10
not the same when it comes to acquisition cost
or reimbursement rates. One of them may
have been non-formulary, for example. This
difference is multiplied if one product is the
brand name one. Clinically, none of the
differences are significant. However, we
aren’t talking about therapeutics. We are
talking finances and recordkeeping. This sort
of discrepancy can lead to repayment
demands, even penalties and interest,
following an audit.

The importance of recordkeeping shouldn’t be
overlooked. In litigation, documentation is
everything. If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t
done. Many cases have turned on seemingly
small documentation issues. Perpetual
inventory totals, timecards, delivery records,
pick-up logs, documentation of counseling (or
refusal of counseling) are some other examples
of records that have become key points in a
case. The lesson here is that no record is too
small or too trivial to be skipped over. Update
those inventory changes as they come in. It
may seem burdensome at the time, but there
are potential benefits later.
