I can certainly tell you that I’ve tried to put every valuable experience I’ve had with other healthcare providers in this webinar, but my words can only do so much 🙂 Here’s what a customer thought of this product:
“Eric,
I just finished your medication recommendation webinar and I will definitely alter my practice after listening. I am a LTC consultant and a PRN retail, relief pharmacist.
For my LTC practice, I especially appreciated your advice on making sure to offer an option. Don’t just point out the problem. I enjoyed your inclusion of “A Few of my Favorites”. One of the hardest lessons for me to learn, was to not take the physician response personally. Thank you for reinforcing that I am not the only one to experience negative feedback.
In the retail setting, too often, I feel that I forget that I’m dealing with another person with their background, beliefs, and ideas. I need to try harder to find a solution for that particular patient and not just the standard “because the literature says so” answer. Your webinar reminded me that this is imperative in assisting my patients.
Thank you for helping me to refocus my pharmacy practice and hopefully do a better job of communicating with patients and other healthcare providers.
Sincerely,
Kelly Wheeler, RPh, CGP”
