Integration of an Academic Medical Center and a Large Health System: Implications for Pharmacy.

Objective: To provide lessons learned for colleges of pharmacy and large health systems that are contemplating or in the process of undergoing integration. Method: This report describes the merger of an academic medical center and large health system with a focus on the implications of the merger for pharmacy from the perspectives of both a college of pharmacy and a health system's pharmacy services. Results: Overarching pharmacy issues to consider include having an administrator from the college of pharmacy directly involved in the merger negotiation discussions, having at least one high-level administrator from the college of pharmacy and one high-level pharmacy administrator from the health system involved in ongoing discussions about implications of the merger and changes that are likely to affect teaching, research, and clinical service activities, having focused discussions between college and health system pharmacy administrators on the implications of the merger on experiential and research-related activities, and anticipating concerns by clinical faculty members affected by the merger. Conclusion: The integration of a college of pharmacy and a large health system during the acquisition of an academic medical center can be challenging for both organizations, but appropriate pre- and post-merger discussions between college and health system pharmacy administrators that include a strategic planning component can assuage concerns and problems that are likely to arise, increasing the likelihood of a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Myrella Roy, Canadian society executive, to retire at end of year.

After 15 and a half years leading the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP), Executive Director Myrella Roy, B.Sc. Pharm., Pharm.D., FCCP, is wrapping up her professional career at the end of December and planning to stay nearly as busy in retirement. She spent 17 years as a hospital pharmacist and clinical manager with the Ottawa Hospital, a large university teaching hospital in Canada’s capital city, before becoming CSHP’s full-time executive. In 2012, ASHP awarded honorary membership to Roy for her sustained contributions to health-system pharmacy practice. She said last month that receiving the award from ASHP “certainly was one of my proudest moments, and I will cherish that forever.” “Dr. Roy has been a wonderful friend and colleague to ASHP for her entire career,” said ASHP Chief Executive Officer Paul W. Abramowitz. “She has done so much to advance pharmacy practice in Canada, including successfully advocating for enhanced prescribing privileges for pharmacists and leading efforts around collaborative practice and patient safety. Myrella is a true leader in our global pharmacy community, and I am confident that she will continue to contribute to efforts to advance pharmacy practice in Canada and around the world.”
