@mattlesser pharmacists and Cambodian-American CHWs working together to help Cambodian refugees set the example for how we can better improve cultural competency and health literacy for patients and enhance their care and outcomes #CHWandPharmacists

@senatoranwarct CHWs and pharmacists working together can save our state money by decreasing the amount of health care needed and guiding the patients towards more cost effective treatments or services #CHWandPharmacists

@_jack_mountain @RepJahanaHayes that is such a simple fix to a large issue! great idea!

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@_jack_mountain @RobinComey you're right inter-professional care can greatly increase patient outcomes and it needs to be implemented way more

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@_jack_mountain @RobinComey definitely agree this is a good way to save money

[Jack Mountain @_jack_mountain]

In the US, estimates suggest for every 1 dollar spent on medication $1.33 is spent on the treatment of medication injury. Teams of community health workers and pharmacists can help prevent medication injury which saves money and improve outcomes. #CHWandPharmacists @RobinComey

Collaborative practice agreements using pharmacists can help save health practices money and improve health outcomes especially in patients with chronic disease or complex medication regimens. Currently, collaborative services are not widely used. @RobinComey #CHWandPharmacists

[Jack Mountain @_jack_mountain]

70-75% of gaps in safe and effective medication use are due to failures in prescribing, clinical monitoring, and management coordination. Teams of community health workers and pharmacists could help reduce and prevent these failures. #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@dyland359 @ChrisMurphyCT remove those barriers!

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@dyland359 @RepNKD we can't let this mistakes to continue to occur! unacceptable!

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Pharmacists being so accessible can spread the word about the pros of vaccination. This huge role that pharmacists play can have a huge effect on decreasing potential outbreaks in disease. @SenatorAbrams

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Too many mistakes occur yearly with medication errors. Pharmacists have to work with physicians and community health workers to ensure that these things don't happen. They are the most trusted profession and have to remain that way. #CHWandPharmacists @RepNKD

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Pharmacists and community health workers can work together to remove barriers that create health disparities. This is a necessity as many are going without proper care to keep them healthy. @ChrisMurphyCT #CHWandPharmacists

@SarahPharma2 @SenatorAbrams sounds like we should spend a little money now to save lots of money in the future

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@SarahPharma2 @ChrisMurphyCT @UConnHuskies sounds like it could save CT some cash!!

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@SarahPharma2 @Steinberg06880 I agree, pharmacists play a critical role !

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@balsamo_sabrina @ChrisMurphyCT the cost of a necessary drug like that should not be so high that patients have to decide if they can afford it

[Mackenzie Cullen @mcullen123]

@balsamo_sabrina @SenatorAbrams medication adherence is such an important issue!
