Refresher Training Is A Recommended Best Practice

• California Designated Representative online training programs & courses
• California HMDR Exemptee online training course

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?

I just read this book by Linda Ireland, Domino: How Customer Experience Can Tip Everything in Your Business Toward Better Financial Performance . Her writing inspired this post.

You're probably following this blog because you need Exemptee or Designated Representative training. In California, there aren't all that many training vendors in this niche space. As you go comparison shopping, keep these Domino customer experience thoughts in mind:

1. You want to learn about credible options. The vendor is trying to earn your business.
2. You envision a solution and problem solved. The vendor needs to demonstrate, and allow you to experience, how they are going to best solve your needs.
3. You want to buy products and services where you're in control, and it's convenient. The vendor wants to 'protect' you, by affirming any purchase decisions you've made.
4. You want to experience problem solved, and needs are met. The vendor needs to stay engaged, ensuring your need was truly solved.
5. You want to learn what else the vendor has to offer that solves your other problems or needs. The proactive vendor anticipates your future needs.

Bottomline, as you go shopping, keep your customer hat on, and monitor if your prospective vendor is acting in your best interests. Happy hunting!

Interesting post on the KevinMD Medical Weblog, How the patient-centered medical home can improve our health care system.

Miami Prescription Drug Wholesaler Convicted - Pharmaceutical Online

---  the original post follows below  ---

According to this US Attorney's Office press release, MIAMI PRESCRIPTION DRUG WHOLESALER CONVICTED:

A significant portion of the Serostim that Segredo distributed through these two companies originated from California-based AIDS patients who sold their Serostim supplies secured from the Medi-Cal Medicaid program

This drives home the point that it's essential to avoid non-standard and fraudulent distribution methods.
