4 FY 2015 Outreach & Engagement Annual Report The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy

OVERVIEW

The past year has been a year of tremendous growth and change for outreach and engagement in the College of Pharmacy. We have established the Office of Outreach & Engagement and continued forward momentum through an outreach and engagement task force to achieve key areas of growth in the next few years:

Infrastructure – synergy, value, and assessment as outreach and engagement aligns with the mission and vision of college and university in areas of teaching, research, and service

Partnerships – enhancing knowledge transfer to professionals through continuous professional development and the public through branding and telling our stories

Advocacy through action – pharmacist care advancement local to global

Outreach and engagement has seen growth in personnel, with both promotions and new hires of talented individuals whose duties contribute to achieving our strategic goals. As a group, we aim to provide high-quality programs that foster positive interactions benefiting patients, students, and communities. We share these achievements through dissemination of the work to the scholarly as well as public communities and work to continually improve our outreach and engagement efforts.

The college continued its commitment to the surrounding community, with students completing nearly 9,000 hours of community service throughout central Ohio in 2014-2015. These hours were spent providing health and wellness screenings, medication reviews, and education to underserved populations in the areas of prescription drug misuse prevention, optimizing medication use, medication adherence, and senior health. Faculty continued to impact communities through formal outreach and engagement programs as well as precepting and providing excellent patient care across communities. To create a streamlined process to track, highlight, and apply continuous quality improvement to outreach and engagement efforts a new tracking tool was developed and rolled out this past Spring.

I am excited about the opportunity to lead growth in outreach and engagement. The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy has the people, ideas, and foundation upon which to create a model of outreach and engagement that is integrated and valued by the college faculty, staff, students, and the community. Enclosed you will find information for the 2014-2015 academic year on the many facets of outreach and engagement within the College of Pharmacy.

HIGHLIGHTS

Pharmacy Outreach & Engagement Formalized

In the Fall of 2014, Jennifer Rodis was appointed assistant dean for out-reach and engagement. She soon set to work to put together an outreach and engagement task force. This group has worked over the past year to create a strategic plan and is now implementing these goals that were set.

“This new structure will help us to impact more people in a meaningful way; it will benefit everyone from the people we serve to the students we teach. By establishing the office and putting resources behind it, the College of Pharmacy is confirming its commitment to students and the community.”

Ohio State Center Fights Drug Misuse on College Campuses

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation has awarded a grant of $2 million to establish The Ohio State University Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Recovery (OSUHEC). The Ohio State center serves as the premier alcohol and drug abuse prevention and recovery resource for colleges and universities across the nation. The mission of the center is to help college and community leaders develop, implement and evaluate programs and policies to reduce problems experienced by students related to alcohol and other drug use. OSUHEC is a collaboration among Ohio State’s College of Social Work, College of Pharmacy, Office of Student Life, Generation Rx Initiative and Collegiate Recovery Community.

Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Gives $2 Million to Ohio State to Establish National Collegiate Substance Abuse Prevention, Recovery Center

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation awarded a grant of $2 million to establish The Ohio State University Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Recovery (OSUHEC).

The Ohio State center serves as the premier alcohol and drug abuse prevention and recovery resource for colleges and universities across the

nation. The mission of the center is to help college and community leaders develop, implement and evaluate programs and policies to reduce problems experienced by students related to alcohol and other drug use. OSUHEC is a collaboration among Ohio State’s College of Social Work, College of Pharmacy, Office of Student Life, Generation Rx and Collegiate Recovery Community.

“Ohio State has a number of innovative programs in place for substance abuse prevention and recovery, which makes Ohio State a logical home for the center,” said Kenneth M. Hale, associate director of OSUHEC. “This donation from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation will help solidify and augment our current programs like the Generation Rx Initiative and the Collegiate Recovery Community, and it will catalyze stronger efforts to support similar work at colleges and universities across the country.”

According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 1,800 college students nationwide between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes, and more than 690,000 students nationwide between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report unintentional drug overdose as the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S., and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports the average age of prescription drug abuse onset is 22. Students who

engage in heavy alcohol and drug use often fail academically, which has long-term consequences.

“It is well established that substance use on college campuses leads to a number of negative outcomes and can interfere with the academic success of students,” said Steven M. Hilton, Chairman, President & CEO of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. “We are pleased to support the launch of a new national center to ensure colleges and universities across the country are equipped with the information and resources they need to support prevention, early intervention and recovery.”

“College can be challenging, especially for students in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction,” said Sarah Nerad, head of Ohio State’s Campus Recovery Community and nationally recognized for her participation in furthering recovery programs on college campuses. “Recovery programs and support services will be an integral focus of the OSUHEC. Our goal will be to ensure that schools can support their recovering students as they pursue academics alongside their recovery.”


HIGHLIGHTS

The OSUHEC will be guided by Clapp, who is also professor and associate dean of research at Ohio State’s College of Social Work. Clapp, who formerly served as the Department of Education’s HEC director, is a member of the National Advisory Council for the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. Clapp is also an expert in Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) and has managed more than $8 million in SBIRT-related projects.

The OSUHEC will have two associate directors, Connie Boehm and Hale. Boehm is the director of the Student Life Student Wellness Center The Ohio State University and currently serves as the national co-chair for the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Wellness and Health Promotion Knowledge Community. Hale is the founder of the Generation Rx

The OSUHEC will take a four-tiered approach to servicing health care providers and students, folding services into the areas of education and training, research and evaluation, technical assistance and technology development.

“Before they lost federal funding, the HEC was a national leader and resource for college administrators and health professionals in the area of alcohol and drug prevention,” said Clapp. “OSUHEC will capitalize on the synergistic collaboration of Ohio State’s substantial resources, including national experts and nationally recognized programs like our Generation Rx prescription drug abuse prevention program and our Student Wellness Collegiate Recovery Community. We have also begun working with Ohio State’s College of Engineering to create smart-phone apps and simulations to support alcohol and drug prevention efforts.”

initiative, widely recognized as the nation’s leading prevention program for prescription drug abuse among college students. Nerad, a current Ohio State graduate student recognized nationally for her participation in furthering recovery programs on college campuses, will serve as the program director for recovery efforts.

The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy Associate Professor Debra Goff received a $45,000 Engagement Impact Grant from Ohio State’s Office of Outreach and Engagement to assist with her project, “Ohio State and South Africa Collaborate to Combat Antibiotic Resistant ‘Superbugs.’”

Goff’s project was launched in 2013 with funding from the College of Pharmacy and South African hospital collaborators, connecting South African pharmacists with Ohio State mentors to develop the necessary skill set to contribute to antibiotic stewardship. Goff, who specializes in infectious diseases, realized the need to develop this program after learning pharmacists in South Africa lack access to advanced clinical pharmacy training programs that specialize in infectious diseases.

“Pharmaceutical companies have, for the most part, stopped producing new antibiotics because they are not profitable, which leaves the global health community running out of effective antibiotics to treat ‘superbugs,’” said Goff. “The lack of more effective antibiotics is not just a problem in countries like South Africa; it is a problem at places like Ohio State as well, so the development of pharmacists with

skill sets to treat these ‘superbugs’ is essential to combat the global spread of these highly infectious organisms.”

After Goff and her OSU colleague Karri Bauer spent one week working in the South African private and public sector hospitals, two pharmacists from the Netcare private hospitals in South Africa spent two weeks at Ohio State, learning about antibiotic stewardship in the OSU-South Africa “train the trainer” program. Their new clinical pharmacy skills are being used to educate their peers. Currently, South African pharmacists mainly are responsible for dispensing medications to patients, and clinical pharmacy is in its infancy in South Africa. However, these pharmacists understand the important role they can play in clinical settings, which is why Goff believes her program can lead to progress for clinical pharmacists.

“South Africa is much like Ohio State was 30 years ago, when the PharmD program was just starting. Clinical pharmacists had to develop their role on the healthcare team and prove they made a difference in patient care,” said Goff. “The train the trainer program that we used to teach infectious diseases and antibiotic stewardship to these South African pharmacists could be applied to several other specialties to improve clinical pharmacy in South Africa.”

The two South African pharmacists were able to spend time with several other clinical pharmacy specialists during their time at OSU. They were able to see firsthand how clinical pharmacists are involved in patient care and make a difference

in patients’ lives. Many resources are taken for granted in the United States health care system but are unavailable in South Africa. The country does not have advanced clinical pharmacy training programs like the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) programs the United States; even scholarly publications are difficult to access because they must pay for them.

After completing the OSU train the trainer program, the two pharmacists created a podcast describing their experience at OSU and had their first research abstracts accepted to 16th International Congress on Infectious Diseases. They also used nontraditional methods to build awareness of their efforts. The Ohio State-South African collaboration helped train the pharmacists to advocate for antimicrobial stewardship and clinical pharmacy by teaching the pharmacists how to use Twitter to build awareness. They also developed an educational infectious diseases comic book to be used to train additional pharmacists in South Africa.

PurposeThe world is running out of effective antibiotics due to escalating rates of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.” Years of overuse, misuse, and abuse of antibiotics in humans and animals created this public health crisis.

Hospitals are implementing antibiotic stewardship programs to optimize antibiotic use. In South Africa, a lack of infectious disease-trained pharmacists creates a challenge.

Our purpose is to develop an antibiotic stewardship outreach program and facilitate an OSU-South Africa pharmacists network to lead antibiotic stewardship programs.

ImpactAntibiotic-resistant “superbugs” are escalating while new antibiotics are diminishing. OSU-South Africa “train the trainer” mentoring program will provide pharmacists with the necessary skill set to contribute to antibiotic stewardship.

Antibiotic stewardship outreach programs are most effective when they are multidisciplinary. South African pharmacists will learn how to monitor antibiotics and measure patient outcomes while working on a healthcare team.

Patient advocacy for antibiotic stewardship is needed. We’ll create an iBook for the South African Health Minister to gain long-term support for the program. Twitter will also be used.

pharmacists when I came to Ohio with a PharmD degree,” said Goff. “It is incredibly difficult to work toward advancing the practice of clinical pharmacy in South Africa when they have never seen a clinical pharmacist on patient care rounds with a physician in a hospital.”

Despite the barriers that still exist for clinical pharmacists in South Africa, the program has been successful in helping establish proper use of antibiotics in clinical settings. The program’s initial success led to the $45,000 grant, which Goff says will be used to bring over South African pharmacists from public hospitals in the fall semester this year,

something that would have been extremely difficult without additional funding.

“A key next step for our stewardship program is to educate pharmacists from public hospitals because they care for much larger populations than private hospitals in South Africa,” said Goff. “The challenge with bringing over pharmacists from public hospitals has been that these hospitals often do not have the resources to participate in a program like this, but this additional funding will make it possible.”

Goff regularly speaks with the original two pharmacists about

obstacles they face in their hospitals and advises them on how to manage these situations. She has been excited about the progress that has been made in a short amount of time.

“Our goal is to be able to teach these pharmacists so they can go back to South Africa and teach future generations of pharmacists,” said Goff. “We are spreading the process of antimicrobial stewardship and are excited about how much bigger of an impact we believe this program can have. Importantly, we have built a network of collaboration between OSU and South African pharmacists.”

Stuart Beatty, PharmD, BSPS, associate professor of Clinical Pharmacy at The Ohio State University, testified in the Ohio House of Representative’s Health & Aging Committee for House Bill 188. The bill, sponsored by representatives Nathan Manning and Stephen Huffman, would better enable pharmacists to enter into agreements with groups of doctors to manage patient therapy for their patients. Currently, pharmacists can only enter into a singular consult agreement with one doctor and one patient. “Under the current version of the law, a separate consult agreement must be entered into for each individual whose drug therapy is to be managed by a pharmacist,” Beatty testified. “It further states that a consult agreement applies only to the particular diagnosis for which a physician prescribed an individual’s drug therapy. With 38 attending physicians and more than 90 medical residents, having

Ohio State Professor Lends Testimony to HB 188a separate consult agreement for each patient is not feasible.” With this bill, pharmacists would have the ability to add, remove, or alter a patient’s drug therapy and order blood or urine tests if approved by the physician. This makes access to care easier for individuals who live in rural or under-served areas and may be quite a distance from their physician. “Our physicians refer patients to our services because they trust and depend on our clinical judgement and because allowing us to manage their patients with medication-related needs allows them more time to see patients with more complex medical needs,” continued Beatty. “Their referral is a partnership in which they trust us to make clinical decisions in the best interest of the patient. Based on years of experience working together as a healthcare team, our recommended plans are rarely met with disagreement from the physicians, making the process

of gaining approval more of a logistical burden than a necessity. The proposed changes in HB 188 will improve the efficiency of this process and provide further opportunities for physician-pharmacist partnerships, allowing more patients to benefit from the healthcare services provided by the pharmacist.” In addition to expanding the role pharmacists play in patient care, a second part of the bill would expand a pharmacist’s ability to dispense emergency supplies of medications in the event a patient is out refills, and the doctor can’t be reached for a new prescription. The bill would change the current law of allowing pharmacists to dispense a 72-hour supply, to allow up to a 30-day supply or the smallest unit of measurement available for medications for life-threatening disease states. Many medications—such as insulin for diabetes—cannot be dispersed in limited amounts due to their packaging units. This bill eliminates the hurdles and risks associated with patients going without their medications in the event a new prescription cannot be obtained. The original bill draft was crafted by Senator Dave Burke (who is also a pharmacist from Marysville) in cooperation with the Ohio Pharmacists Association, Ohio Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and the Ohio State Medical Association. Sen. Burke and Sen. Gayle Manning introduced that bill, SB 141, earlier this year. HB 188 was modeled after SB 141, and both have had multiple hearings in their respective chamber’s committees. The SB 141 was successfully voted out of the Senate Health & Human Services Committee on June 17, and we are awaiting a vote on HB 188.

Generation Rx Lab at COSIProject Lead: Nicole KwiekCollaborators: Molly Downing, undergraduate pharmacy students, Community Partners: Cardinal Health Foundation, The Ohio State University Office of Research

The Generation Rx Lab is a fun, innovative educational experience at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI). In this space within the Life exhibit, visitors of all ages can conduct engaging, hands-on experiments as they learn about the science of drugs.

Highlights:

• In 2014, 3 P4 students completed an APPE rotation in the lab. APPE students also lead our live educational programs, as well as create and develop a new educational program for use in the lab.

• Each semester, 10-15 BSPS students staff the lab’s educational programs as a unique opportunity to practice and improve their science communication skills.

• There are currently three educational studies being conducted in the lab: 1. Assessing the experimental impact of clinical medicine simulations on a COSI guest’s ability to learn science, understand medication safety principals, and build interest in health-related careers. 2. Assessing the experiential impact of K-12 students participating in one of our educational programs during a formal field trip. 3. Measuring the specific science and medication safety principles COSI families are learning by conducting one of our pharmacology-focused hands-on experiments.

• Developed programming that utilizes a high fidelity human patient simulator, a tool often exclusive to health professionals for medical training purposes. P4 APPE students helped create four distinct educational programs that engage the general public in learning about diabetes, asthma, allergies/anaphylactic shock, and mild heart attacks.

The P1 Geriatric Program places groups of 4-5 students at various independent living or senior centers to interact with older adults and provide some basic health education while also offering comprehensive medication reviews. The experience requires students to utilize one of the interactive activities from the Generation Rx Senior Toolkit at their site with the participants. Students also offer to help evaluate Medicare Part D plans in the Fall for anyone wanting assistance.

For many refugees and immigrants new to the United States, the American healthcare system can be confusing and daunting. If they are not fluent in English, this can compound the problem. Pharmacy students at Ohio State are trying to help these refugees through targeted health system classes offered at the Kroger Pharmacy on Morse Road. Each month students meet with refugees, resettlement staff and an

interpreter to explain topics such as how medicine is classified, how to read a prescription label, and how to use a pharmacy in the United States. Information is also distributed on how to obtain translation services when they visit the pharmacy. This class allows the attendees to not only learn the process, but also offers a chance to ask questions in a friendly environment. Laura Smith from US Together, a refugee resettlement agency that helps refugees find employment,

said the experience is valuable to their introduction to America. “Many of the refugees come from Bhutan and have been living in camps. They have not had the chance to use a pharmacy like we have here in the United States. This is something that people tend to overlook. It is something they all need, especially for those with families. It’s helpful to come first when they don’t need services, so when they do need that help they are able to access it.” US Together was established in 2003 to help refugees resettle in the US by providing English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, employment services and educational workshops--including pharmacy--to help them better understand living in the United States.

Students from The Ohio State University colleges of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Public Health have been hard at work at the Ward Family YMCA, meeting with area residents to help them get the most from their medications. These students are educating the public about the importance of taking medications properly through “Script Your Future,” a national program to increase medication adherence. According to the National Council on Patient information and Education (NCPIE), nearly three out of four Americans admit that they don’t always take their medication as directed. There can be many reasons for this, and through a thorough medication review with the patient, the students are able to uncover medications being taken, how they are being taken, and how patients may be able to increase compliance and thus better health outcomes. “A lot of people aren’t aware of how much impact taking medications properly can have on your health,” said Natalie Park, a second-year pharmacy student. “Not taking them properly can decrease effectiveness or even create adverse consequences. We try to find strategies to help them.” Prior to starting the project, students attended events and classes in order to become a part of the community and reach their patients on a personal level. “Script your Future” educates the general public about the disease states and the importance of medication

Waitzman Pharmacy Scholarship Established at College of PharmacyThe Ohio State University College of Pharmacy is pleased to announce the establishment of a scholarship to expand student opportunities in community health. The Daniel B. and Rita F. Waitzman Community Pharmacy Scholarship Fund is designed to assist doctor of pharmacy, PharmD, candidates enrolled in the college’s Partner for Promotion Program (PFP) who have shown a strong commitment to community pharmacy.

The program allows students to work for a year with participating pharmacies, while receiving training and mentorship by faculty involved with The Ohio State University Partner for Promotion program, to design and implement a program to provide expanded quality patient care services in community pharmacies.

Daniel Waitzman had a distinguished career in pharmacy spanning sixty-five years as a licensed pharmacist, serving as President of the Academy of Pharmacy of Central Ohio, and was the recipient of numerous honors in pharmacy, including the OSU College of Pharmacy’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Rita, in her own right, is well-known in pharmacy circles and at the college as well. Daniel’s Pharmacy was a landmark in Columbus, where Daniel, with the help and support of Rita, served the community at Main and Ohio for close to fifty years, providing quality pharmacy services to an area and population that did not have easy access to pharmaceutical care.

In April 2014, Grace Kilbane and Hyun-Su Helen Kim were the inaugural recipients of the award. In collaboration with Kroger Pharmacy and their preceptor, Ben Michaels, they developed a sustainable model of education to recently resettled refugees in the U.S. about how to engage with the community pharmacy to receive medicine and care. This innovative project addressed a major need in the community and the team

adherence and aims to prevent future illness and serious health complications to improve the quality of life of every American who suffers from both acute and chronic conditions. For more information on this program visit http://www.scriptyourfuture.org.

embodied the characteristics this fund was established to recognize.

The OSU Partner for Promotion Program has engaged sixty-four participating pharmacies throughout the State of Ohio, as well as in the states of Kentucky, West Virginia and the State of Washington. The program was started at OSU in 2005 by Jennifer Rodis, who serves as the Director of Partner for Promotion at the College of Pharmacy. In this time, because of its success and the recognized need to expand pharmaceutical services to diverse areas and settings, the Partner for Promotion Program has been adopted by other colleges and schools of pharmacy across the country to implement PFP at their institutions.

“This scholarship honors the outstanding pharmacy legacy of Daniel and Rita Waitzman by awarding the pharmacy innovators of tomorrow. We are grateful to the Waitzman family for their continued impact on the growth of pharmacy in Ohio,” said Rodis.
