Healthcare Scouts honors National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Healthcare Scouts | October 9, 2009
Healthcare Scouts honors National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Our prayers go out to those individuals and families affected by this disease, and we are proud of our company’s commitment to cancer research.
Breast cancer can be attributed to many factors, including age, genetics, obesity, and family history. Women who exercise regularly, maintain healthy diets, and have annual visits with their doctors are less likely to get breast cancer. Various screening measures such as mammograms, regular breast self-exams, and clinical breast exams can help detect cancer before it has a chance to spread. Early detection allows for early intervention, helps make treatment more effective, and gives hope to patients and saves lives. To learn more about the fight against breast cancer visit www.nationalbreastcancer.org
Healthcare Scouts works with many research facilities and cutting edge research hospitals across the United States placing hard to find licensed Healthcare professionals nationwide. To learn more, visit www.healthcarescouts.com or call 800-708-0605.

ASHP Survey Reveals Impact of Economy on Hospital Pharmacy Services
By Healthcare Scouts | April 24, 2009
A recent survey by the ASHP on of the Impact of the Current Economy on Pharmacy Services in Hospitals and Health Systems reports that “Pharmacy departments are being asked to do more with less while they still have to meet critical patient care needs to ensure safe and effective medication use,” said ASHP President Kevin J. Colgan, M.A., FASHP. “Networking with peers and sharing experiences can help pharmacists meet these challenges and ASHP intends to serve as that resource for our members.””
Healthcare Scouts serves as a resource as well assisting organizations acquire top pharmacy talent who have the competencies to lead during today’s economic storm, and have the capacity to do more with less while delivering optimal patient care. Progressive organizations understand the value of talent and investing in retention strategies (ROI), such as permanent placement, vs. “bandaid” short sighted cost cutting measures that can negatively impact the organizations culture, morale, and overall patient care. The shortage and demand for quality pharmacy professionals will continue to grow. Implementing procurement & cost cutting policies designed for commodity items such as “pencils”, does not work with “people”…Pharmacy professionals need to lead in this forward thinking.
Pharmacists can also utilize social networking sites such as “Linkedin” groups; Health System Pharmacists http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1506157, Hospital Pharmacists US http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=735007 , and a brand new group Pharmacy Professionals & Associations http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1918118 .
