In this episode, I have a chat with Kristine Ashcraft and Burns Blaxall about how precision-based prescribing is an essential tool for every pharmacist to adopt with urgency—we talk about:* Pharmacogenomics is a simple way to improve patient outcomes – If you think pharmacogenomics (PGx) is too complex? It’s actually just another tool to help you do what you already do—optimize medications for better patient outcomes. Dr. Burns Blaxall breaks it down in a way that makes sense for everyday pharmacy practice.* Real-World proof: better outcomes, fewer medication failures – Studies show that PGx can reduce adverse drug events by 30% and prevent unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations. If you’ve ever wished for a way to make sure a medication works before a patient even takes the first dose, this is it.* Making PGx work in your practice (don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good) – The biggest roadblocks to using PGx? Lack of awareness, integration challenges, and concerns about reimbursement. But here’s the good news—pharmacists don’t have to wait for a perfect system to start making an impact. Small steps can lead to big results.* Strengthening your role as a healthcare provider – PGx is a powerful way to elevate your role in patient care and get recognized as a key decision-maker in medication management. Building strong relationships with physicians and demonstrating your value in clinical decisions can open new doors for your career.Success Stories that show PGx in action – Imagine stopping a patient from undergoing an unnecessary, high-risk procedure—just by using PGx testing. That’s exactly what happened in one case shared in this episode. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dispensing and reacting to medication failures, PGx offers a proactive way to make a real difference.Join the ElevateRx Pharmacogenomics Summit to learn how to bring Pharmacogenomics to your practice - https://elevaterx.live/* Follow Kristine Ashcraft on LinkedIn* Follow Burns Blaxall on LinkedIn* About me:👉 Visit www.apma.website to learn how I teach pharmacists the role of genes in medication response inside the Australasian Precision Medicine Academy.👉 Visit www.katrinaazer.com to find out more about my services.* Follow me on social media:➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrina-azer/➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katrina.azer/The PharmXcel Podcast is a show for pharmacists who want to connect with their career purpose and learn how to build a fulfilling career by addressing the opportunities and challenges that make us pharmacists—Pharmacists who signed up for pharmacy to help transform patient lives!Thanks for listening in—it means the world to me!Here is how you can support my mission:* Give it a 5-star rating wherever you’re listening to it* Share this with other Pharmacists who would enjoy it* Subscribe to get notified of new episodesAnd please reach out if you have any questions or comments!Your feedback will help me bring you valuable contentListen to this podcast on:Spotify:Apple Podcasts: This is a public episode.
