Long-term care is an increasingly important part of the businesses plans of many pharmacies. Aging population cohorts who have often complex medication regimens and sometimes require chronic disease management are driving the trend, which has become a vital service — and one you can provide your patients (and bill for) in every community in America. Lindsay Dymowski Constantino, co-founder and president of LTC@Home Pharmacy Network and Centennial Pharmacy Services in Philadelphia, breaks it all down for you in the March issue of America’s Pharmacist®, out now and also available online. (And don’t forget the Business of Long-Term Care Workshop, presented by the NCPA Long-Term Care Division team, April 19-20 in Alexandria, Va. Register today!) In other recent news, the Alliance for Long-Term Care Pharmacy @ Home recently urged Congress to push CMS on Medicare beneficiary access to LTC pharmacy services at home in an open letter dated March 12. The Alliance for LTC Pharmacy @ Home is an initiative that grew from the efforts of the NCPA Long-Term Care Division, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, and the Senior Care Pharmacy Coalition. You can read more about the alliance. LTC is on the agenda in the March issue of America’s Pharmacist, too, so don’t miss our coverage.
