A study team collaborated with Aurora Pharmacy, Inc. to develop Senior Safe, a community pharmacy-based intervention designed to increase awareness of safe over-the-counter medication use for older adults. Senior Safe was adapted through pilot testing and a randomized control trial before a finalized version was provided to Aurora Pharmacy to integrate into all its pharmacy sites. The authors concluded that this multiphase study illustrated that refining an intervention is possible and welcomed by pharmacy staff, but requires time, resources, and funds to create an impactful, sustainable community pharmacy intervention.

Community pharmacist participation in a practice-based research network: a report from the Medication Safety Research Network of Indiana (Rx-SafeNet).
The researchers described the experiences and opinions of pharmacists serving as site coordinators for the Medication Safety Research Network of Indiana (Rx-SafeNet). In general, Rx-SafeNet site coordinators appeared to experience increased confidence in research engagement after joining the network. While respondents identified a number of benefits associated with network participation, concerns about potential time constraints remained a key barrier to participation.
