"The witch doctor succeeds for the same reason all the rest of us succeed. Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work." ~Albert Schweitzer "Creativity is connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they just "SEE" something. It seemed obvious to them. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." ~ Steve Jobs "Agreement is not necessary, thinking for one self is." ~ Romans 12:3 Welcome to the Journey ~ WELCOME back to school!

* Pharmacy Nationwide * July 1, 2011 Author: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO Health care economics and patient outcomes are embedded every facet of the health care model. Due to their pharmaceutical knowledge and training pharmacy technicians are posed to contribute in the creation, development, and implementation of medication reconciliation. These opportunities are consistent with Safe Practice Recommendations and Patient Point-of-Care. http://www.pharmacyjobsnationwide.com/news/Medication-Reconciliation-Accepting-the-Challenge/764.html STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVE A Collaborative Approach to Drug Selection, Driven by Clinical Outcomes Excellence * American Health & Drug Benefits * June 21, 2011 Author: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO The formulary selection process is treacherous, convoluted, and involved. Keeping the rational approach in the forefront takes exertion and integrity. All too often other standards—emotional, personal, financial, special interests, pharmaceutical marketing, and unconscious desire of power—take the place of excellence. In the formulary decision-making process, these must all be rejected. http://www.ahdbonline.com/feature/from-a-z-medication-cost-management-strategies-disproportionate-share-hospitals Comprehensive Exam Review for the Pharmacy Technician * Delmar Cengage Learning * March 5, 2011 Reviewer: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO, Reviewer for Second Edition~ is the essential tool to help one prepare for and pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam.

Keeping the ‘Rational’ at the forefront takes exertion, intellect, and integrity. All too often other standards, such as emotional, personal financial, special interests, pharmaceutical marketing, and unconscious desires of power take the place of excellence. http://www.behance.net/gallery/Rational-Formulary-StrategiesSOJA-Academic-Detailing/880371 Palliative Care Consultation Programs * December 15, 2010 Author: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO In the creation of palliative care consultation programs, hospitals can conserve healthcare dollars. Palliative care emphasizes quality of life with significant reductions in per diem and total costs. This can produce considerable savings to the health system by “cost avoidance.” http://www.behance.net/gallery/Palliative-Care-Consultation-Programs/865657 Building Team Cohesivenss~Branding Your Ensemble * November 26, 2010 Author: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO Bringing together a group of people to create a unified, organized and consistent workforce is very complicated. Something more must bind them together. They must FEEL a change from a disparate group to one that is interconnected. http://www.behance.net/gallery/Building-Team-Cohesiveness-Branding-Your-Ensemble/831335 Making the Leap to Your Own Practice * The Savvy Advisor * November 9, 2010 Authors: Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO, and Ann Kruse, JD, MSOD, CPCC, ACC "Have you made the leap from a job to your own professional practice? What problems did you encounter and what advice do you have for others?" Diana Rangaves, PharmD, CEO: Follow your heart and use your head. Do not compare yourself with others. Pass up projects that feel ‘unsafe’ or your inner voice says ‘no’. Never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right. http://thesavvyadvisor.com/index.php/blog
