#OTILT Prolonged infusion of Piperacillin/Tazobactam decreases mortality and improves outcomes in severely ill patients.

#OTILT Antibiotic IV-to-PO switch can be used even for the most "difficult to treat" bacterial infections. In patients with endocarditis on the left side of the heart who are in stable conditions, changing to oral antibiotic treatment is a better option than continued IV Tx.

#OTILT NIH guidelines recommend against the use of dexamethasone or other systemic glucocorticoids in the therapeutic management of non-hospitalized adults with COVID-19

99% of medicare spending is related to chronic disease. It is time to focus our strategies on reducing unnecessary healthcare costs. Pharmacists and CHW are well poised to address the burden of chronic disease and to improve access to quality care. #CHWandPharmacists

The state health department should focus on the increased engagement of community healthcare workers and increase the engagement of community pharmacists in the provision of medication and self-management by building and scaling programs. #CHWandPharmacists @SenBlumenthal

@contron18 @Alex4CT I agree with you! Pharmacists can also use a patient care collaborative care process to deliver a variety of patient care services.

[Egla @eglaofficial]

@amber_buske @repterry I agree with you! Pharmacists in expanded roles can have a positive impact on the health care system and on patient health. They can improve access to preventative services and safely deliver care in areas like immunizations and disease screening!

@iramnasreen @RepNKD @GreggHaddad Excellent point! As an accessible healthcare provider with expertise in the appropriate use of medications, pharmacists can contribute to better health and help address unmet needs in the healthcare system !

Medication therapy management includes med reconciliation, med optimization, med coordination, and med monitoring. With team-based integrated healthcare, pharmacists can lessen the load on PCP's & collaborate to optimize health.#CHWandPharmacists @MattLesser

@BarisanoDaniela @GreggHaddad This is great point! There’s so much to pharmacy and pharmacists than just dispensing medications. They increase the quality of healthcare and have the power to make a difference in the health of their community!

[Daniela Barisano, PharmD @BarisanoDaniela]

@eglaofficial @SenBlumenthal Excellent point! As an example, community health workers and pharmacists improve medication self-management by going into the community to discover a patient is homeless and is in need of knowing now to manage diabetes without healthy food or a place to cook.

Language barriers and low health literacy can be a dangerous combination in patients with diverse backgrounds. Community health workers can help to eliminate these barriers and improve health outcomes. #CHWandPharmacists @SenatorAbrams

We can’t live healthy lives without others. People heal in a community. But how can refugees heal when lack of interpreters lead to isolation? #CHWandpharmacists can help prevent comorbid diseases by ending ethnic prejudice & increase healthcare access! @ChrisMurphyCT
