    Mastering the Algorithm

    This week, Jay Phipps, pharmacy owner and NCPA member, reveals his secrets to building and maintaining a successful social media presence as a pharmacist. In a conversation with Jack Mozloom, NCPA senior vice president of public affairs, Phipps discusses everything from conquering his fear of posting to his practical tips for bringing the business of pharmacy to social media. They dive into what it takes to grow an audience, crack the algorithm, and build social media into a pharmacist's workflow. Phipps also touches on his role in the 2026 NCPA Annual Convention and leaves listeners with one key reminder: whether it's tackling social media or evolving your practice, you don't need to do it alone.

    An Overview of the CMS ACCESS Program

    This week, Leanne Haley-Brown, Bob Lomenick, and Michelle Farrell join host John Beckner for a discussion on the new ACCESS to Pharmacy Care program. ACCESS to Pharmacy Care is an NCPA program, powered by CPESN® with GamePlan Medical, that enables community pharmacy participation in CMS ACCESS, supporting national scale and sustainable engagement for community pharmacies. The conversation explores why the program represents a turning point for the profession and how owners can leverage their team and technology to create sustainable workflows that support patient care and boost their business.  Participation in the NCPA CMS ACCESS program creates opportunities for increased revenue ($8-10 per patient per month), has no cost to participate, and demonstrates pharmacists' ability to improve patient outcomes, enhance care coordination, reduce health care costs, thereby strengthening the evidence for recognizing pharmacists as health care providers in future payment and policy decisions.   For more information: https://www.accesstopharmacycare.org/    Episode guests:  Leanne Haley-Brown, program lead, CPESN® Pharmacy Care at Home  Bob Lomenick, CEO, Tyson Drugs Inc  Michelle Farrell, owner and managing pharmacist, Boscobel Pharmacy
