Episode 2 (12-21-09): They Can Work With That: Pro-Change Behavior System’s Lifestyle Management Programs
Chronic health conditions are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. To manage, or sometimes even prevent, these conditions, consumers often need to make major changes in their behavior and lifestyles. The Pro-Change Lifestyle Management Program offers a suite of health behavior change programs in seven areas: smoking cessation, weight management, stress management, depression prevention, managing cholesterol, managing high blood pressure, and exercising regularly. All of these programs, which are based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, are available to participants both in print and on the Web.

Episode 1 (9-29-09): Preventing Medication Misadventures: The CVS Caremark Drug Therapy Management Program
The CVS Caremark Drug Therapy Management program provides patients with access to specially trained clinical pharmacists for one-on-one medication counseling. Patients with complex pharmacy needs – those on multiple medications or who have prescriptions from a number of different health care providers – can receive individualized telephonic counseling with a clinical pharmacist to review their health concerns and needs, and identify any problems with their drug regimens. A comprehensive electronic record is developed and kept up-to-date for each participant, and participants have regular follow-up appointments with their clinical pharmacists.
For more information on the CVS Caremark Drug Therapy Management Program, please contact Carolyn Stang (Carolyn.Stang@caremark.com ) or Larry Faudskar (Larry.Faudskar@caremark.com ).
