Who We Are
CPESN Idaho is a network of independent pharmacies that serve communities throughout the state of Idaho. You might have heard of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO); we call ourselves an Accountable Pharmacy Organization (APO). We care about our communities and care about making prescriptions and healthcare affordable for our community members.
We are dedicated to help in a wide array of ways such as: medication reconciliation, medication synchronization, opioid safety with proper disposal, immunizations, adherence packaging, Idaho approved prescribing, and many other items. We like to discuss with our partners (employers, providers, payers, and patients) their goals, needs, and concerns and how we may be of help to save both our partners’ and patients’ healthcare expenditures.

Medication Reconciliation
The process of comparing a patient’s medication orders to all of the medications that the patient has been taking (active, chronic, as needed and OTC including herbal) to avoid medication errors. This process should be done at every transition of care, and other times as applicable. Pharmacists should assess for discrepancies, communicate with other providers/health-systems, and work closely with the patient to ensure that their current medications are intended and appropriate. Pharmacists will document that they performed the medication reconciliation, identified any discrepancies, and communicated with other providers as necessary

-
Face to Face Access
Provide each patient receiving a dispensed medication from the participating pharmacy ready access to unscheduled face-to-face meeting(s) with a pharmacist employed by the participating CPESN pharmacy during operational hours. For pharmacies not staffing a pharmacist during operational hours, a nonpharmacist involved in the patient’s care must be available for the unscheduled face-to-face visit as well as a pharmacist via appropriate telecommunication methods upon request by the patient or the pharmacy staffperson who provides service in support of that pharmacy.
