Drug Shortages: Legislative opportunities
Author: Sarah Cox, PharmD, MS
Impact of Drug Shortages: The number of drugs impacted by shortages nearly tripled over a five-year period (2007-2012).
1
Today, drug shortages continue to pose a threat to health-systems and patients. A survey conducted in collaboration with ASHP and sent to 1300 directors of pharmacy nationwide, indicated that 99% of health-systems had experienced at least one shortage in the past 6 months and about a third or respondents stated having shortages with over 30 different drugs. Costs were estimated to be near $216 million from labor resources allocated to preventing or preparing for shortages.
2 Another survey of directors of pharmacy estimated that drug shortages account for one to five percent of medication errors.

When Women Rule the World
Author: Bert McClary
In early April I saw a news segment titled “When Women Rule the World,” featuring Tina Brown discussing her 10
th
annual “Women in the World” conference. Just a week before I had seen four women on the stage, and no men, taking the MSHP oath of office, administered to them by a fifth woman. It was the first time that had occurred.

Hepatitis B Virus Vaccines in Dialysis Patients
Authors:
Ellisa Zhang, PharmD Candidate 2020; April Pottebaum, PharmD, BCPS
|
Based on a national health survey, an estimated 850,000 people are living with hepatitis B in the United States.
1
However, this number could be an underestimate since studies evaluating migration data and prevalence of hepatitis B in foreign countries estimate that this number could be as high as 2.2 million.

Linezolid vs. Daptomycin for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcal Bacteremia
Authors: Harrison Yoon, Pharm.D. Candidate 2020;
Julianne Yeary, Pharm.D.
|
Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) is an emerging drug-resistant organism responsible for increasing numbers of hospital-acquired infections. It readily colonizes the intestines without any symptoms, which can serve as an infection reservoir and spread quickly among hospitalized patients.
1
In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated 20,000 cases of nosocomial VRE infections in the United States with 1,300 cases resulting in death.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Adults with Community-acquired Pneumonia: 2019 Clinical Practice Guidelines
Authors: Mary Thorne, PharmD, PGY1;
Kathryn Lincoln PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP
|
|
|
|
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) developed updated guidelines for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and were released in October this year. The 2007 CAP guidelines were preceded by the 2005 ATS Guidelines for the Management of Adults with Hospital-acquired (HAP), Ventilator-associated (VAP), and Healthcare-associated Pneumonia (HCAP).

2019 CDC Vaccine Schedule Changes
Authors:
: Colton Frazer, PharmD Candidate 2022;
Paul Juang, Pharm.D, BCPS, BCCCP, FASHP, FCCM
|
|
Vaccines are an imperative part of the success of the modern health system. However, vaccines are only effective when utilized correctly. Due to the intricacies of the vaccination schedule, and the continually evolving contraindications, reviewing the Center for Disease Control’s vaccination schedule can be a valuable method of staying up to date from year to year. In this review of the CDC’s 2019 vaccination schedule, a few recent changes will be highlighted, Shingrix and Pneumococcal guidelines will be refreshed, and the new hexavalent vaccine, Vaxelis™
, will be discussed.

Combatting Vaccine Hesitancy
Author:
Cara Carter, PharmD
|
|
As we delve deeper in to flu season, we are reminded of one of the greatest public health advances but also one of the biggest controversies of our time: immunizations. In the aftermath of Andrew Wakefield’s falsified article linking the MMR vaccine to autism as well as the support of the anti-vax movement from celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey, we are seeing a resurgence of diseases once deemed to be eradicated.
1
As the winter season sets in and people spend more time indoors, they will be in close quarters with many people whose immunization and infection status may be unknown to them. It is important that we, as healthcare providers, are diligent in protecting our patients and doing our part to help prevent outbreaks. We can be actively involved in this effort by being prepared to mitigate vaccine hesitancy.
