CASE STUDY

PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME(s)
An aging population has increased the demand for long-term care (LTC) in our nation’s
healthcare delivery system. The typical LTC patient is living with more than one chronic
condition and relies on as many as 10 diferent prescription drugs. Nursing facilities often
contract with specialized LTC pharmacies to provide support and continuous medication
management for complex health concerns.
Because senior patients’ needs happen around the clock, and very often on a STAT-needs basis,
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires LTC pharmacies to have an
emergency backup system in place. When these requirements are handled internally, in-house
staf must put in extra hours and shoulder backup duties after they’ve left work. This approach
introduces the risk of employee burnout as well as the potential inability to service customers
when they need you most. But there is a better way.
MedCall, the leading provider of backup pharmacy services in the United States, ofers
comprehensive services including: labor-saving pharmacy beneft management, an extensive
delivery network, facilitating of after-hours coverage, and expert handling of vital STAT-needs,
including IV orders. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, they have a contingency plan available
to assist.
THE CHALLENGE
Managing a LTC pharmacy means balancing equally the requirement to maintain a dependable
backup system, the wide variety of customer needs, and the important goal of sustaining and
boosting employee morale.
Tim Rowland, former COO for Strategic Health Partners/Senior Care Pharmacy, recently
managed a group of seven pharmacies. “In two LTC pharmacies that we established, we initially
handled the backup, including STAT orders, needs ourselves,” he said. “As we grew, however, the
number of these orders became a bit overwhelming.”
