Introducing Future-Proofing Pharmacy With Mark Makhinson, PharmD

from Managed Care Cast Hosted by Managed Care Cast

Health-system pharmacy is entering a decade of change, and Future-Proofing Pharmacy is built to keep asking what that future should look like. In this debut episode, host Mark Makhinson, PharmD, senior director of outpatient and specialty pharmacy at Mount Sinai Health System, introduces the podcast's mission: exploring how pharmacy leaders can build organizations that are clinically meaningful, scalable, and ready to adapt, rather than simply reacting to financial pressure, workforce shifts, and drug shortages as they arise. Makhinson lays out the questions the series will return to throughout its run, including what a health system pharmacy enterprise looks like in 2035, where artificial intelligence can meaningfully help, and where human judgment should remain central. Episode 1 kicks off with Nilesh Desai, PharmD, chief pharmacy officer at University of Miami Health System, who shares the pharmacy enterprise he would build from scratch in 2035 and the lessons that shaped his thinking during a major pharmacy transformation at Baptist Health, including the development of a consolidated pharmacy service center.
