Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Health Security, Specialty Care & the OTC Products Patients Trust | TWIRx
Q: How does the platform integrate with EHRs and support clinicians in adjusting therapies when needed?
The system accesses and writes back data through Health Information Exchange, enabling real-time updates to providers and EHRs, which allows clinicians to see relevant patient information, coordinate care, and adjust therapies as necessary while maintaining patient privacy and interoperability.
Health Security, Specialty Care & the OTC Products Patients Trust | TWIRx
Q: Talk to us about the core mission of Perigon 360 and how the platform supports patients with complex therapies.
Perigon 360 focuses on delivering high-touch, personalized care through a global specialty pharmacy lens, leveraging a digital platform to monitor patient progress, customize therapies, and coordinate with providers to accelerate treatment, improve adherence, and reduce barriers to access.
Does Pharmacy Have an Identity Crisis? | TWIRx
Q: Start off with a short background on yourself and what you do in pharmacy, a fellow Pittsburgher.
Erik Abel describes a career path across clinical transformation, AI MedTech, and founding a startup; he emphasizes the ongoing dialogue about provider status and the need for a unified identity in pharmacy.
U.S. Supreme Court and Generic Drugs | TWIRx
Q: What should pharmacists and pharmacy owners understand about skinny labeling, patented indications, and generic substitutions when counseling patients or communicating with prescribers?
The downstream effect could be fewer options for patients and potentially delayed competition, with skinny labels likely to survive while marketing language becomes more tightly regulated; the FDA has supported faster entrance to generic markets, which benefits consumers.
Clearway Health, John Nosta, Perigon 360, and Psychedelics in Practice | TWIRx
Q: John, talk to our listeners and open up about where this book takes us.
The book is structured around three core ideas—the promise of AI, the peril of overreliance and loss of human cognition, and the path to integrating technology with human judgment. Nosta argues that AI unlocks thought, not just facts, and that we must preserve imagination and responsibility while leveraging AI to enhance, not replace, clinician and pharmacist judgment.
