More die in fungal meningitis outbreak; state pharmacy chief fired - NBC News:

"Massachusetts officials have fired the director of the state’s pharmacy board and suspended its attorney for failing to alert them that the company at the center of an outbreak of fungal meningitis was making and distributing drugs in mass quantities even though it wasn’t licensed to do so, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

Federal health officials say the outbreak of fungal meningitis traced to contaminated pain injections from the pharmacy has killed 31 people. They said 424 people have been confirmed sick in 19 states, including 10 who don’t have meningitis but who have infections in the ankle, shoulder or other joints."

No Significant Difference - Compares distance education to face-to-face

Updated August 26, 2021

The original link broke.

You can still explore the exact same topic at this website:

---  the original post follows below  ---

This body of research supports distance education as neither better or worse than face-to-face education.  Once you factor in cost and convenience, it would seem that online training is the big winner.

No Significant Difference - Presented by WCET:

"Does taking a course via distance education lower a student's chances for success as compared to the same student taking the same course in a face-to-face format?

Mr. Russell collected research studies addressing this question from as far back as 1928. The studies included in his collection involve a wide array of distance delivery modes including correspondence (printed materials sent out to students), radio, television, video, and online. Mr. Russell found that an overwhelming number of studies showed that when the course materials and teaching methodology were held constant, there were no significant differences (NSD) between student outcomes in a distance delivery course as compared to a face to face course. In other words, student outcomes in distance delivery courses were neither worse nor better than those in face to face courses. Mr. Russell referred to this collection of results as the "No Significant Difference Phenomenon", thus coining the now-common identifier phrase for this body of literature."

Not All E-learning Is The Same - Demand More!

Not All E-learning Is The Same | SkillsPlus International Info:

"Everybody wants to offer online e-learning solutions for their staff training and development needs. But not all e-learning is the same. E-learning should go beyond reading a book on a computer screen. Honestly, if I am going to read the words on a page I would rather be under a fluffy blanket, and be curled up on the couch with a pot of hot tea and some butter cookies. E-learning should make full use of the technology of the computer.
  • I want the instructor to talk to me, preferably, on the screen.
  • Add some pictures, or better yet, add some live action video and animation.
  • Provide some interaction to keep me fully engaged and challenged.
  • Provide a handout to go along with the course so I can use that as a memory jogger after I have completed the course.
  • E-learning developers, challenge yourself to go beyond republishing the text book on the computer screen.
E-learning purchasers, demand more from your providers."

Florida Pharmacists Must Check Database Before Prescribing Some Painkillers

Florida pharmacists required to check database before dispensing painkillers - News:  'via Blog this'

Florida's "drug database took a leap forward Monday by requiring pharmacists to check it to see whether a patient is illegally 'doctor shopping' for powerful painkillers."

And "pharmacists said requests for the painkillers have been dropping off since they started having to enter the prescriptions in the database beginning Sept. 1."

Refresher Training Is A Recommended Best Practice

This might sound obvious, but stop and think about it.

If you're already recognized by the Board of Pharmacy or the Department of Health Services as a Designated Representative, or Exemptee, respectively, when was the last time you took a refresher training course?

Rules and regulations can change over time. It's easy to forget things over time. Additionally, it's been heard on the street that some inspectors are asking about evidence of refresher training.

How do you stay current and up-to-date?
