The DELTA Rx Institute and Drake University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences believe that invention and innovation are essential tools for success. This belief is incorporated into the Drake curriculum, which implements innovative pharmacy education practices by incorporating technology that creates or simulates real patient care situations. In January of 2009, Drake University unveiled the Donald F. Davidson Pharmacy Practice Laboratory. This lab is designed to mimic eight mini retail pharmacies and includes the most modern technologies available, including bar code scanning, order scanning, and a Parata Max dispensing machine. As the only classroom of its type in the United States, this laboratory is an exemplar of innovation in pharmacy education. In order to parallel an actual pharmacy as closely as possible, the initial sketches of the lab were completed by Heidi Price (Instructor of Pharmacy Practice). She has a great deal of experience working in the retail practice setting and was able to design a practical workflow. Spatial constraints posed an issue. “We could not make the room any larger and trying to fit a workable space for 24 students and an instructor, plus the equipment we wanted, proved to be challenging, says Price.She worked with the architects to overcome this obstacle ensuring that the final design would mimic the flow of work in a typical retail pharmacy. Each station incorporates the full pharmacy experience. Students scan in the original prescr...

An Eye for Innovation Hart experienced resistance to change as a pharmacy intern, which steered her toward a career in the pharmaceutical industry—and spurred her drive for innovation. “There were processes and approaches you did in community pharmacy because that was the standard of care at the time,” said Hart. “But as you experienced them, you knew they weren’t very effective. Trying to influence a change was challenging, and I did not have the ‘tools’ to influence other health care providers to try something different.” Throughout her tenures with Eli Lilly and Merck, Hart was inspired by the complexity and ever-changing nature of health care as she sought new ways to improve patient care. In 2006, she founded M...
