Healthcare Solutions, the parent company of pharmacy benefit manager Cypress Care, today announced that it has added pharmacy experts Mindi Miller, PharmD. and Corrie Crews, PharmD. to its pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee. The addition of Miller and Crews further strengthens the company’s P&T committee, which serves as an advisory board to provide recommendations on the selection and use of medications to treat injured workers and auto claimants.
Healthcare Solutions’ P&T committee reviews identified safety issues, proper drug utilization trends, drug recalls, new generic introductions, changes in FDA drug indications and drug misadventures that have occurred in the most recent quarter. The committee also focuses on emerging issues, including legislative updates and best practice pain treatment protocols prevalent in the workers’ compensation and auto markets.
Miller has worked in the pharmacy industry for more than 20 years and currently serves as the University of Georgia’s regional coordinator and clinical associate professor. Miller has also worked at Emory University Hospital, University of Kentucky Hospital and University Hospital at Augusta, Ga. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Kentucky. She currently practices in a multi-discipline program at Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta.
Crews, a practicing pharmacist for more than a decade, currently works with KAISER PERMANENTE as clinical pharmacy specialist. She has also been employed with CVS Pharmacy, UCB Medical Affairs, TAP Pharmaceuticals Medical Affairs and UNC Hospitals. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“We are pleased to add two additional pharmacy experts to our P&T committee to support the company in developing appropriate clinical pharmacy solutions for customers based on unbiased expert recommendations,” said Jim Andrews, R.Ph, senior vice president of pharmacy services for Healthcare Solutions. “Healthcare Solutions is committed to remaining at the forefront of issues affecting the workers’ compensation and auto insurance market and developing innovative solutions that support appropriate medical care for patients.”
Healthcare Solutions P&T committee is chaired by Chip Robison, Pharm.D, director of clinical pharmacy services for Healthcare Solutions. Dr. Robison is a member of the Work Loss Data Institute (WLDI) Official Disability Guidelines Editorial Advisory Board and actively participates in providing pharmacy guidance to the committee. Under Dr. Robison’s leadership, the P&T Committee recently developed a new component of the company’s formulary that pertains to antibiotics, and the committee also recommended full implementation of the FDA’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS), and the adoption of the Official Disability Guidelines.
