We're excited to share the latest episode of The Monthly Script. Host Brian Fung sat down with Clarest’s Chief Operating Officer, Amr Elebiary PharmD, MBA, for a conversation about where pharmacy is headed.

Amr talks about pharmacy's shift from a transactional model, once measured by speed and accuracy, to a value-based one defined by clinical outcomes like lower readmissions and cost of care. He digs into how automation and AI are reshaping the work, handling administrative tasks and surfacing patients at risk of medication abandonment, while never replacing the clinical judgment of a pharmacist. And he shares where Clarest is focused: connecting fragmented pharmacy touchpoints into one continuous line of accountability, from facility to home.

Star Ratings do not improve by accident. They require the right strategy, the right data, and the right partners.

Chief Product Officer James WuRohe will join the stage with Jennifer Wirick, PharmD, BCACP, BCGP from Essence Healthcare at the RISE Medicare Product and Pharmacy Strategy Summit in Seattle next week.

New prescriptions. Old routines. Multiple doctors. No one person in charge. The result is confusion that too often results in a readmission.

Clarest Health solves this problem.

Our Transitions of Care Program is clinically supervised and starts before the patient ever walks out the door. A pharmacy liaison reconciles medications in-facility, a pharmacist-supervised care liaison manages the entire transition, and every prescriber is reached before conflicting instructions become adverse events.

We don’t react to post-discharge chaos. We prevent it.

For skilled nursing facilities navigating CMS accountability. For health plans protecting Star Ratings and managing readmission costs. For patients who deserve a plan, not confusion.

"Through medication therapy management (MTM), pharmacists can play an important role in identifying drugs that are inappropriate for older adults."

This core focus from a recent Pharmacy Times article highlights one of the most critical objectives in senior care today: reducing inappropriate medication use in older adults to improve safety and clinical outcomes.

Through Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), pharmacists bridge the gap between abstract guidelines and real-world safety. Whether it is identifying hidden anticholinergics in over-the-counter combination products or evaluating the long-term risks of PPIs, targeted clinical oversight is vital.

True clinical leadership involves actively screening for high-risk complications like confusion and falls, educating patients on OTC safety, and proactively collaborating on safer therapeutic alternatives.

The article, written by Jennifer Gershman, PharmD, CPh, PACS, is well worth the read for healthcare professionals focused on senior care, medication safety, and clinical outcomes.

"Skipped or mistimed doses may not feel urgent, but their effects can accumulate."

Nearly 9 in 10 adults over 65 take at least one prescription medication, and many manage several at once without clinical oversight. When adherence breaks down at home, the consequences can range from worsening symptoms to avoidable hospitalizations. Our latest article explores the most common reasons seniors miss doses and how the right support can change that: https://clarest.com/medication-adherence-at-home-why-seniors-miss-doses-and-how-to-fix-it/

"For seniors managing multiple medications, even small disruptions can cascade into missed doses, unmanaged symptoms, or avoidable hospital visits."

About 46% of U.S. counties now meet pharmacy desert criteria, and the communities hit hardest are often those with the fewest alternatives. As retail closures continue, the question becomes not just where people can fill prescriptions, but whether medication support remains coordinated at all. Our latest article, “What Happens When Pharmacies Close? How Home Pharmacy Services Solve the ‘Pharmacy Desert’ Problem” breaks down what is driving this trend and what a home-based model of care can offer.
