Consultant Clinical Pharmacist
I’m a pharmacist and an educator. My passion has always been education, health, and helping others. Prior to becoming a pharmacist, I worked as an elementary school teacher for 7 years. When I decided to switch careers, I thought my teaching skills had absolutely nothing to do with pharmacy. I was wrong.
When I started working as a pharmacist, I immediately realized the HUGE crisis in health literacy and how deeply it affects patient’s health outcomes. This crisis is even more severe in the aging population, who rely most on pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications, in order to achieve intended drug therapy goals.
At the same time achievement of these goals is increasingly becoming the responsibility of healthcare providers, and has become the major determinant of reimbursement and value-based contracts. Five Star HealthRx helps practices and health systems to transition or improve value-based care. Now, more than ever, because of social distancing, fee-for-service models are decreasing revenue.
