New Mexico Allows Remote Supervision of Pharmacy Technicians, Prevents Closing of Local Pharmacy

In a newly published paper entitled Health Extension in New Mexico: An Academic Health Center and the Social Determinants of Disease , researchers analyze a University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center project given the acronym “Health Extension Rural Offices” (aka HEROs) as “a vehicle for its model of health extension.” According to the paper , some adjustments were made at the behest of Silver City, NM that allowed improved health services: UNMHSC College of Pharmacy helped revise New Mexico State Board of Pharmacy regulations to permit pharmacists in larger towns to use a telepharmacy service to supervise local pharmacy technicians in rural and frontier counties. Initiated by the local HERO agent, telepharmacy will permit the local pharmacy to remain open, which is a health and economic benefit to the community. This happened sometime probably in early 2009, as the paper was submitted in July, accepted in October and finally published now in the first Annals of Family Medicine of 2010.

Technology Allows Pharmacists to Deliver Services from Home

Tammy Worth writes a new article for the Health Care Reform Hub of the American Pharmacists Association’s pharmacist.com called ” Creating a virtual team: The future for medical homes? ” In the article, Worth notes “working virtually” may be the answer to a lot of pharmacy’s hurdles. She mentions the venerable North Dakota Telepharmacy Project as well as the lesser known project out of the University of Nebraska Medical Center , where pharmacists work from home to provide inpatient pharmacy services: Lisa Moffett, PharmD, went to pharmacy school, completed her residency, and then decided to stay at home with her children.

Jobs Onboard: Cruise Ship Employment

When I was a little girl and took apart my toys in an attempt to explore their innards, my mom used to say I wanted to find out “where the feet grew.” She meant that I was curious about how things worked. I didn’t become an engineer as this character trait might have suggested — math was not my forte

Getting Your Employer to Fund Your MBA: Making The Argument

With tuition costs for MBA programs in the tens of thousands, if not reaching ten 10,000’s – (trick question), wouldn’t it be great if someone else paid for your MBA? If you don’t have a sugar daddy or mamma, maybe your employer has a tuition reimbursement program.

Bill Jackson responded to Should Parents Dictate School Reforms? on January 11, 2010 07:58 AM

The Parent Trigger is a fabulous idea! Not because it will – by itself – turn around many low-performing California schools. But because how it will change the conversation among parents, community activists and school boards across California.

Ridiculous and Bad Idea I have the utmost respect for parents of school children, as they are the most important stakeholders in education. It is, after all, their children whose lives are affected by what happens in the schools. And they, even more than teachers, can affect how well their children work and behave in school.

The Parent Trap Should parents dictate school reforms? Well, “dictate” isn’t exactly the word I’d use, but parents should certainly influence reforms – just like other citizens. Alas, the “Parent Trigger” law in California has little to do with this.

A False Choice is No Choice I’ve noticed that many people who support the “Parent Trigger” law see it as a mechanism for improving school choice. But more choices doesn’t always mean better choices.

Malaysia’s disastrous capital flight

Money leaves the country on an unprecedented scale Churches are not the only thing to have been going up in flames in Malaysia. Take a look at the nation’s foreign exchange reserves.
