RHIhub Med Sync Draft

Great! I’m assuming you didn’t see my questions in the comments section? It’s OK, it’s a little hard to make them show up. So I just outlined them here:

· How many of your pharmacists involved in running med sync?

· Is the medication delivery by mail only, or to their door from a pharmacist?

· I’m assuming it’s alright with you if we embed that youtube video (it’s fantastic) – I just need your written confirmation

· I didn’t include much for the “Replication” section, but do you care to share any more “keys to success” for others interested in starting Med Sync?

· Do you have a pictures we could include? Perhaps of your staff in-action or group photo and a logo we could add?

Thanks again for your help!

Hello Steve,

I just left you a message about this model. I wanted to be sure it was fresh in your inbox if you had some time to review it this week. I’m sure you will have lots of changes! Let me know what your timeline is and any additional information I can provide. Thank you kindly!

Dr. Pryor,

Forgive me for the extended amount of time between our phone conversation and this email. I have completed my first draft of your medications synchronization model for our website (https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/project-examples). Based on what I researched and what you shared with me over the phone, I’m hoping I am on the right track with this!

I wouldn’t doubt if I’m a bit off on some of this information, so I would greatly appreciate your input! I have many questions for you in the comments section (to view, download document, click “Review” on the menu bar, and make sure that “All Markup” is selected in the dropdown menu). Let me know if you would like to review this over the phone. Otherwise, feel free to add your remarks and edits directly in the document and send back to me.

Thank you for allowing us to feature your great work in this way.

Ready to Quit?

Smoking is a difficiult habit to break. The combination of physical and psychological addictions make it a formidal opponent.

Understanding the process and knowing what’s coming may help you prepare for the fight. And a fight it is for many.

It often takes multiple attempts for a smoker to become a non smoker.

Did you know smokers have more nicotine binding receptors than nonsmokers? Smoking is believed to cause the brain to create extra receptors to acoomodate the nicotine doses taken in from tobacco.

These extra receptors add to the  discomfort and craving experienced when nicotine is taken away. This makes quitting “cold turkey” difficult for many especially when combined with the triggers created by the smoking habit itself.

So, you need to identify your triggers. Think about when you smoke and what you associate with during that time. Maybe it’s getting out of bed in the morning, having a cup of coffee, driving to work, having a drink with friends  and many, many more events in your life.

Next, decide how you want to quit. If you have tried  cold turkey and failed you might try nicotine supplements and tapering. After all, nicotine patches and gum are much less harful than the smoke inhaled from cigarettes. So it takes you a year or more to wean off the nicotine product, who cares? The goal is to QUIT SMOKING.

Nicotine patches can supply steady amounts to your body which greatly decreasees the cravings from smoking cessation. Some people still don’t get enough nicotine from the strongest patches. What to do? You may want to add some nicotine gum when the cravings tempt you to light up again. Remember it’s a fight between you and your cravings. Every time you decrease nicotine patch strengths you may experienc cravings. Again, having some nicotine gum or lozenges handy may greatly increase your success. And, when you finally stop the nicotine patches, you may want to keep nicotine gum or lozenges with you all the time until you finally feel you no longer need them. Expensive? Not really if you compare to cigarette smoking for the  rest of your life.

No matter what you can expect some irritability, insomnia and and anxiety. It usually takes 6 weeks or more to decrease the quantity of nicotine receptors in your brain.

Other methods require prescriptons and shoud be discussed with your presciber or pharmacist to see if they are right for you.

Always follow directions on over the counter products containing nicotine and never exceed the doses on the package. NEVER smoke if you have a nicotine patch on. Consult with your prescriber or pharmacist if you have any cardiovascular diseases such as  previous heart attack, high blood pressure, angina or others to help you get started.

Try, try again until you scucced.
