😡😤😩All the emotions when patients have to take inferior medications due to cost. Insurance doesn’t fix the problem either. #TwitteRx #AmbCareRx #PrimaryCare

Was referred to as chief pharmacist today in a consult. I am the only pharmacist in clinic. But I think I like it. #AmCareRx #PrimaryCare #TwitteRx

Any recommendations of where to start for provider evaluation of pharmacist services in primary care? Any validated surveys? This is voluntarily initiated by me to get feedback and think about service advancement. #TwitteRx #AmbCare #PrimaryCare

Any strong feelings about DPP4 inhibitor potency (esp sita v lina)? Having to be creative in a patient with decreased renal function and refusal of injections. #AmbCareRx #PrimaryCare #Diabetes

“See formulary alternatives” is not a helpful recommendation on a non-formulary notice from an insurance company. This system is so broken. #TwitteRx #AmbCareRx #PrimaryCare

Cost is still a significant barrier for many patients who are candidates for #GLP1 or #SGLT2i therapy, despite insurance coverage in some cases.
US Underuse of GLP-1RA, SGLT-2i in Type 2 DM Persists Only 11% to 14% of US adults with T2DM received treatment with a #GLP-1RA or with a #SGLT2i from 2018 to 2020 despite clear indications for their use @YaleCardiology @MDedgeCardio @ShelleyZieroth

I keep thinking about a statement @taralipinski made about @ZachTDonohue and @MadiHubbell ice dancing in the @Olympics. They aren’t skating to get to the end. But skating and enjoying the moment. There are so many things in life I’m doing to get to the end. Sweet reminder!

Hey #TwitteRx what clinical pearls do you have for Dexcom, FreeStyle Libre or CGMs in general? I’d love to throw on a couple of helpful tips for my CGM presentation! 😊

This makes me reflect on the letters of rec I’m writing. Do we talk about character appropriately in our residency LOR? #PharmEd #MedEd #TwitteRx
It's easier to fill gaps in competence than gaps in character. Even if people have strong experience, it's a mistake to hire or promote them if they have weak values. Knowledge and skills can be learned. Principles like integrity, humility, and generosity are tougher to teach.

Asked a colleague today about his kids. He thought I was talking about our students at @MercerCOP. Love working with people who truly care. Anyone else call their students their kids?! #PharmEd #MedEd #TwitteRx
