August 28, 2020 - The Community Pharmacy Foundation (CPF) today announced the 25 awardee Practice Transformation Teams chosen to participate in the second round (Cohort 2: October 2020 – September 2022) of the Flip the Pharmacy Program. These new teams will join the existing 28 participating Cohort 1 teams and will add approximately 340 more participating pharmacies.
Flip the Pharmacy aims to transform community-based pharmacy practice away from point-in-time, prescription-level transactional models toward longitudinal and patient-level care processes and value-based models. Using monthly change packages, coaches work with pharmacy teams to implement the six key transformation domains with an emphasis on continuing patient care planning with documentation in various eCare plan platforms. CPESN® USA has partnered with CPF to serve as the Coordinating Center for Flip the Pharmacy.
Twenty-five Practice Transformation Teams from the following states have been selected to participate in Cohort 2:

Randy McDonough, PharmD, MS, Director of Practice Transformation for the Flip the Pharmacy Program and Cody Clifton, PharmD, Director of Practice Transformation for CPESN have led the development and evolution of the change packages. In addition to the planned content for hypertension and opioid stewardship domains, the FtP team rapidly released four change packages to address community pharmacy needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The change package content was modified to build on existing successful pharmacy practices and resources and will continue to evolve into the upcoming topics of diabetes/immunizations and behavioral health/social determinants of health. All Flip the Pharmacy materials are publicly available and accessible at www.flipthepharmacy.com.
“As the end of September 2020 marks the completion of year one, we are extremely pleased with the feedback from the teams, coaches and pharmacists. Not only have they documented patient care planning activities with 323,909 submitted eCare plans and 32,345 blood pressure measurements as of August 24, 2020, they have shared their renewed sense of pharmacy professionalism and satisfaction. We applaud all the efforts and look forward to continued program growth to further define patient outcomes and payer engagements in the upcoming year,” said CPF Board President Phil Burgess, RPh.
The five-year program goals remain the same, including to graduate more than 1,000 pharmacies from the two-year transformation effort. Self-funded teams willing to comply with program data sharing requirements may join Cohort 2 by September 30, 2020. We’d like to acknowledge the Cohort 1 Team Sponsors, AmerisourceBergen and Value Drug Company; Program Partners, NCPA Innovation Center and Parata; the Flip the Pharmacy Technology Solution Partners; and numerous Team Partners. Opportunities remain for additional program sponsors and partners.
