Benefits of Dispensing to Patients
Patient Compliance and Care Monitoring
• Studies have estimated that 30-40% of prescribed medications go unfilled
• In-office dispensing respects patients’ time and will increase patient compliance
with medication regimens
Safety and Accuracy
• 6-8% percent of patients who receive medication from a pharmacy receive
incorrect dosages or drugs
• State regulatory boards have imposed harder restrictions for in-office dispensing
which has resulted in a reduction of error rates in comparison to filling medication
at a retail pharmacy
By implementing in-office dispensary you will be able to monitor a patient’s treatment
and prescription compliance, allowing for a higher level of safety and accuracy.
In the USA all 50 states have regulations governing physician dispensing, 46 states
allow physicians to participate in the profit from their practices that includes
dispensing pharmaceuticals.

The Case For Pharmacogenetic Testing
Adverse Drug Reactions are the
4TH LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH
ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes,
AIDS, and automobile deaths
Every year, more than 8.6 million adverse drug events
(ADRs) are reported in the US — 2.2 million of them are
severe.
In fact, ADRs are the fourth leading cause of death
nationwide, after heart disease, cancer and stroke, and
they place an enormous financial burden on the
healthcare system.
Pharmacogenetic testing provides insight into the four major “trial and error”
factors physicians have to battle with every prescription.
 Which drug will work best for the patient?
 How much does the patient need?
 How will it interact with other substances?
 Will it be likely to cause an adverse event or reaction?
Drug Metabolism, Interaction & Adverse Reactions
Preventing Adverse Drug Reactions
Even with proper prescribing, a
patient’s genetics can affect how they
metabolize and respond to drugs.
More than 85% of patients have
detectable variations in their DNA that
increase their risk for an ADR.
Pharmacogenetic testing determines a patient’s drug metabolizing capacity and physicians
are able to quickly find the safest, most effective drug and dose for each patient’s unique
genetics
How does pharmacogenetic testing alter the treatment course and patient response for
chronic-pain patients in comparison with the current "trial-and-error" standard of care?
J Am Assoc Nurse Pract. 2014 Oct;26(10):530-6. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12154. Epub 2014 Aug 7.
DeFeo K1, Sykora K, Eley S, Vincent D.
PURPOSE: To evaluate if pharmacogenetic testing (PT) holds value for pain-management
practitioners by identifying the potential applications of pharmacogenetic research as well as
applications in practice.
DATA SOURCES: A review of the literature was conducted utilizing the databases EBSCOhost,
Biomedical Reference Collection, CINAHL, Health Business: Full Text, Health Source:
Nursing/Academic Edition, and MEDLINE with the keywords, personalized medicine, cytochrome
P450, and phamacogenetics.
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic-pain patients present some of the most challenging patients to manage
medically. Often paired with persistent, life-altering pain, they might also have oncologic and
psychological comorbidities that can further complicate their management. One-step in-office PT
is now widely available to optimize management of complicated patients and affectively remove
the "trial-and-error" process of medication therapy.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Practitioners must be familiar with the genetic determinants that
affect a patient's response to medications in order to decrease preventable morbidity and
mortality associated with drug-drug and patient-drug interactions, and to provide cost-effective
care through avoidance of inappropriate medications. Improved pain managements will improve
patient outcomes and satisfaction.
©2014 American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Clinical Study
A Pharmacogenetic Test may be utilized to determine a
patient’s precision drug therapy, allowing physicians to:
 Identify patients carrying a genetic polymorphism that causes
increased or decreased CYP450 enzyme activity to metabolize
certain medications
 Identify individuals with higher risk of adverse drug reactions
 Choose more effective medications at safer dosages
 Minimize drug interactions
 Optimize pain management
 Avoid time-consuming sequential and ineffective drug trials
Minimizing Risk with Testing
Improving Patient Outcomes
Options for Integration Into Practice
Point of Care vs. Pharmacy Dispensing
• Pharmacogenomic tests can be administered with a topical
analgesic for pain. When a FDA approved kit with a NDC number
is utilized it is billed through a patient’s pharmaceutical benefits.
• Pharmacogenomic tests can also be administered without a
topical analgesic for pain and billed only through point of care
(POC).
• Depending upon insurance benefits, patients may have a co-pay
for the laboratory services and there is typically a co-pay for a
physician dispensed medicated kit.
Injectables in Practice
With the changing reimbursements, types of health care insurance, and new regulations
with regards to treatment, a medical practitioner and his or her team is under immense
time pressure to treat patients quickly, efficiently, and safely.
If a patient requires a singular or even multiple injections, the medical practitioner
must rely on his or her team to first:
 Locate the necessary and correct
injectable medications
 Ensure dating is current
 Ensure the top has not been
contaminated
 Ensure they are the correct strength and
percentage
 Ensure the liquid is not crystallized or
containing growth
 Ensure there is sufficient medication in
the vial
 Ensure that the injection has been stored
at the proper temperature and humidity
 As well as all other possible related
materials and safety precautions needed
to treat the patient.
CDC Safe Practices
 Whenever possible, use of single-dose vials is preferred over multiple-
dose vials, especially when medications will be administered to multiple
patients.
 Outbreaks related to unsafe injection practices indicate that some
healthcare personnel are unaware of, do not understand, or do not adhere
to basic principles of infection control and aseptic technique.
 A survey of US healthcare workers who provide medication through
injection found that 1% to 3% reused the same needle and/or syringe on
multiple patients.
 Among the deficiencies identified in recent outbreaks were a lack of
oversight of personnel and failure to follow-up on reported breaches in
infection control practices in ambulatory settings.
 Therefore, to ensure that all healthcare workers understand and adhere
to recommended practices, principles of infection control and aseptic
technique need to be reinforced in training programs and incorporated into
institutional polices that are monitored for adherence.
Utilizing Sterile NCD Coded Kits
The use of FDA approved single use NDC Coded Kits may be
an easy way to ensure that your practice is following CDC
guidelines.
 Storage for the material is in a single per use box
 No preparing injection trays
 Kits contain everything needed to provide a safe
procedure

  • 13. CDC Safe Practices  Whenever possible, use of single-dose vials is preferred over multiple- dose vials, especially when medications will be administered to multiple patients.  Outbreaks related to unsafe injection practices indicate that some healthcare personnel are unaware of, do not understand, or do not adhere to basic principles of infection control and aseptic technique.  A survey of US healthcare workers who provide medication through injection found that 1% to 3% reused the same needle and/or syringe on multiple patients.  Among the deficiencies identified in recent outbreaks were a lack of oversight of personnel and failure to follow-up on reported breaches in infection control practices in ambulatory settings.  Therefore, to ensure that all healthcare workers understand and adhere to recommended practices, principles of infection control and aseptic technique need to be reinforced in training programs and incorporated into institutional polices that are monitored for adherence.
