The Pharmacy Podcast Network Acquires RXVIP Enterprises to Deliver Evidence Based Content, Plus Expertise Insights on Their New Internet Radio Platform Targeted to Health Care Professionals
The Pharmacy Podcast Network has acquired RXVIP Enterprises, LTD and all it's subsidiary entities to advance their corporate vision of enhancing the role of Pharmacists in the healthcare continuum. The acquisition coincides with the network moving over to an Internet Radio Platform that will reach over 4,000,000 listeners, through a strategic relationship with Helium Radio in Tampa, FLA.
RXVIP Enterprises, LTD, is made up of a network of Pharmacists, PharmDs and Students of Pharmacy who deliver concierge pharmacy services at the Point of Care, by working right in physician offices to deliver value-based services. RXVIP personnel educate, mentor and train PharmD candidates from several Colleges of Pharmacy and Universities nationwide, by creating an experiential and professional career development program called RXVIPCares 365, that will enhance their role as next-generation providers in the health care system.
Caregiver Support Services' Eboni Green added, "I am so pleased about our partnership with The Pharmacy Podcast Network. Caregiver Support Services is committed to increasing awareness of the very important roles pharmacists play in enhancing the well-being among caregivers. In fact, we believe that Pharmacists are Caregivers! We are excited about the very important strategic partnership between CSS and the Pharmacy Podcast Network and look forward to enhancing the knowledge base among pharmacists."
RXVIP also has a nationwide patient outreach program called, "ASK YOUR PHARMACIST ABOUT PGx TESTING", to help raise awareness that a simple two-minute buccal cheek swab test can lead to better medication management for patients. This program will help lower the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions by reaching out to physicians and nursing homes so that they implement PGX tests for patients in their practices and facilities. The program will be launched exclusively over the Pharmacy Podcast Network and their 68,000 plus listeners.
The acquisition coincides with the official launch of the Pharmacy Podcast Network (PPN) into Internet Radio with a strategic partnership with Helium Radio headquarters in Tampa FL. This new initiative will create a concierge radio platform that will reach over 4 million listeners who can now hear experts within the pharmacy profession deliver subject matter on pertinent health care topics. Now through this relationship with Helium, the PPN and RXVIP are able to expand on the mission of supporting national pharmacy associations and provide their leadership and members with an internet radio production podcast to reach more listeners with this strategic alliance.
"This PNN/RXVIP joint venture and the Helium partnership set the stage for PPN to deliver evidence based, expertise-insights, and editorial commentary to the public from the active 300,000 provider pharmacists in the U.S. today," stated Ken Sternfeld, Founder of RXVIP Enterprises. "I believe that this new platform is not just the pharmacy profession’s top podcast Internet Radio station, but now, we are positioned to be the leading pharmacy radio information resource for our profession,” Sternfeld added. "With a thirst for Pharmacists to find new ways to practice their profession, the PPN will become an even stronger resource to advance their career," Sternfeld concluded.
The content delivered by RXVIP on PPN will help lower the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions, plus provide patients will cost savings solutions to help them manage the rising costs of healthcare that impacts patients’ lives. The new entity formed by this acquisition wants to empower the next generation of PharmDs to deliver their clinical expertise by collaborating with physicians and other health care providers to deliver Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing and an expanded suite of services to patients. We will accomplish this by leveraging relationships that RXVIP has developed with their Concierge Pharmacist business model to deliver Chronic Care Management, Remote Patient Monitoring and Wellness Prescription Consultations for patients who are on multiple medications.
RXVIP will also train PharmD candidates to review the PGx test results and then work directly with patients and physicians to provide meaningful consultation and counseling on their medications to help eliminate "trial and error" prescribing which is inherent in our profession. These services will also advance patient adherence and compliance and lower overall costs to the patient for their medications.
Suzy Soliman, pharmacist and mother, explains the perks of the new program, "As a pharmacist and mom, I have always struggled with work/life balance, and I am excited to support a program that I believe can help manage work/life balance for many pharmacist moms."
RXVIP will also mentor the next generation of PharmDs so that they can dispense care, compassion and empathy for those needing our help the most. As RXVIPCares 365 Patient Advocates, they will be able to utilize their knowledge in areas of medication management effectively, while providing cost saving and life-saving solutions on prescriptions for Medicare patients and all others with chronic diseases.
The RXVIPCares 365 Patient Advocate Certification Program will help pave the way for future PharmDs entering the profession in years to come, plus help existing licensed Pharmacists to enhance their career and be recognized as providers.
"When students like Veoletta and others who take this pathway to provider status with the RXVIPCares 365 PGx program graduate, they will be able to provide these needed patient-centric consultations and reviews plus other value-based services to patients remotely and by working right in physician offices," said Jason Cavolina, President of RXVIP Enterprises, LTD. "RXVIP from its inception was committed to helping educate and mentor others in our profession. I have now had the pleasure of meeting Todd Eury and experienced the passion he has for our profession so this joint venture and the new partnership will continue our vision of enhancing the role of Pharmacists in the health care system." Cavolina added. "Our APPE students we have on rotations, like Veoletta, have hearts of gold and are true advocates for our profession. We are thrilled to help guide these young professionals in their career pathway as by doing that, they help me become a better Pharmacist," Cavolina concluded.
The RXVIPCares 365 PGx Patent Advocate Program and the "Ask Your Pharmacist About PGx Testing" outreach initiative will launch on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, a digital health publication and content development partner to the pharmaceutical industry through strategic relationships developed by RXVIP with The Pharmacist Moms Group and Caregiver Support Services.
