<v ->My name is Shawn Wilt.</v>

2
00:00:01.460 --> 00:00:03.670
I'm a pharmacy director of operations

3
00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:05.680
for the Meijer corporation.

4
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:08.140 line:15% 
The director of operations has a leadership role.

5
00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.220 line:15% 
I have a team of 12 pharmacy district managers

6
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.490 line:15% 
underneath me, and 'those teams serve the pharmacists

7
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:17.240 line:15% 
in our communities so they can ensure that the stores

8
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:19.640 line:15% 
are properly staffed and taking care of patients.

9
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.240 line:15% 
We currently are working a lot with adherence.

10
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.590 line:15% 
We're trying to figure out how to get patients

11
00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:25.160 line:15% 
to take their medications better and more effectively

12
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.000 line:15% 
so they have better healthcare outcomes.

13
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.520 line:15% 
So we develop programs to try to get our pharmacists

14
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.750 line:15% 
to help each individual patient when they visit our stores.

15
00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:36.180
When I travel stores with my team, I meet my team there

16
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:37.990
and immediately review the pharmacy

17
00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:39.500
and really just look to see what they're doing

18
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.300
and speak with my leaders about the staffing in the store,

19
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:44.440
challenges they're facing, and then go in

20
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:45.800
and interact with the team.

21
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:48.330
We'll coach the team on how to do things better.

22
00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:50.860
We'll review compliance and really try to make it

23
00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:53.270
so they understand the best way to operate our programs

24
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:54.700
so they're more effective.

25
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:56.740 line:15% 
So we'll do that at multiple stores,

26
00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:58.530 line:15% 
and then at the end of the day, we'll debrief

27
00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:00.910 line:15% 
and we'll talk about what we saw, challenges,

28
00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:03.260 line:15% 
and then really debrief on the leadership side

29
00:01:03.260 --> 00:01:05.890 line:15% 
and talk about what we can do to make those teams better,

30
00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:07.250
what we can do for each individual

31
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:09.040
to make them more effective

32
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.860
so those teams are more effective.

33
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:12.820
Here recently we just completely launched

34
00:01:12.820 --> 00:01:14.760
a new software for our company.

35
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.050
The new software were designed to make us more efficient

36
00:01:17.050 --> 00:01:19.710
and to add different layers of safety,

37
00:01:19.710 --> 00:01:22.040
and so making sure that we deliver the care

38
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.170
the patient needed in the most safe manner possible.

39
00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:27.830
So we recently launched that program over the summer,

40
00:01:27.830 --> 00:01:30.170
where we had to convert all of our locations

41
00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:32.530
and teach the teams how to use the new software

42
00:01:32.530 --> 00:01:33.700
while at the same time making sure

43
00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:35.570
we didn't disrupt patient care.

44
00:01:35.570 --> 00:01:38.210
It involved a lot of coordination on the advance side.

45
00:01:38.210 --> 00:01:40.760 line:15% 
Began planning for it about a year ago, where we had

46
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.760 line:15% 
interactive sessions with my team to really talk about

47
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.530 line:15% 
the process and the flow and training documentations,

48
00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:49.450 line:15% 
and then help leading the team through change.

49
00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:52.280
Change is scary, people are resistant to change

50
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.750
'cause it's always been done the way before.

51
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:56.890
And so part of my role is to teach them the vision

52
00:01:56.890 --> 00:02:00.660
of what it will be like when we get to the new world

53
00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:03.740
with the new software, and so working with my team

54
00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:05.330
so they could work with their teams

55
00:02:05.330 --> 00:02:08.113
to really get the teams using the system effectively.
