“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first
step into the darkness of the unknown,
You must believe that one of two things will happen.
There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be
taught to fly.”
- Patrick Overton

Readiness Focus Areas - NAVY
There were four main areas impacting readiness, which surfaced during the readiness assessment conducted in early 2019. The four focus areas below reflect the voice of
readiness participants and are the areas that impact each of the three mission components.
M A N P O W E R (Man)
• Navy Pharmacy must provide deployment preparation support for the Fleet,
and be ready to deploy for combat, disaster relief, or humanitarian missions
at a moment’s notice.
• Augmented workloads due to personnel cuts, can compromise AD patient
care and AD member medical readiness.
• Cuts may also impede Navy Pharmacy personnel from obtaining
deployment-specific experience and training while balancing MTF duties.
S U P P LY O P E R AT I O N S (Equip)
• Navy Pharmacy is responsible for supplying and maintaining the pharmacy
while deployed, and ensuring AD members get their supplies prior to going
underway.
• Navy Pharmacy personnel do not possess the necessary supply and
logistics experience and skills to adequately support the needs of AD
members during deployment.
C R I T I C A L C A R E (Train)
• During deployment, Navy Pharmacy plays a crucial role in critical care
situations, especially regarding drug dosage and administration, alternative
therapy, and post-trauma monitoring.
• Navy pharmacists and technicians lack the appropriate trauma experience
and training to execute vital responsibilities as part of critical care teams.
T R A I N I N G (Train)
• Classroom and practical training, continued education and certifications, as
well as on-the-job experience must prepare Navy Pharmacy to provide
pharmacy services during deployment.
• Navy pharmacists and technicians are inconsistently trained and ill-
prepared to successfully deliver crucial pharmacy services while deployed.

Navy Pharmacy Sub-Committees and Priority Projects
S U B - C O M M I T T E E G O A L
Manpower Optimization
Lead: CDR Alan Chronister
Develop and maintain an effective deployment structure, ensure safe and quality patient care at MTFs,
and support civilian transition into traditional Active Duty roles
Fleet Integration
Leads: LCDR Jason Galka, LCDR Kyleigh Hupfl, LT James Spence
Increase Fleet readiness and lethality by integrating direct pharmacy support in supply & logistics,
training, strategic planning, and clinical functions
Deployment Readiness
Lead: LCDR Garret HandEnsure a deployment ready community for all platforms to which pharmacy staff are assigned
Training
Lead: HM3 Michael RodriguezEnsure pharmacy staff are consistently trained to positively contribute to the team
During the Onsite in May 2019, participants brainstormed challenges crucial to Navy Pharmacy. These priorities were used as a foundation for each of the four (4)
subcommittees and two (2) priority projects.
P R I O R I T Y P R O J E C T G O A L
Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (KSA) Team
Leads: LCDR Kellye Donovan, LT Kevin KeeleyEdit, approve, communicate, and sustain KSAs in line with BUMED and DHA
Market Tiger Team
Leads: CAPT Traci Hindman, CDR Angie Klinski
Execute gap analysis of emergent issues identified within DHA’s new market structure and communicate
with Pharmacy community
Force Alignment and Manning:
Remain aligned as previously
What will AF pharmacy look like in 5-10 years
Manning:
Overall manning most likely to continue at or near current level
Potential future boost for clinical pharmacy (PCMH)
Continued adjustments across system as workload changes at individual MTFs
How earned manpower is calculated
TBD how much reduction there will be in AD end-strength, if any
TBD how much AD reductions will be off-set by increases in civilian and contractor authorizations (back-fills)
AFMS Reorganization:
Expect little to no impact on AF pharmacies
Impact on command opportunities/what promotion boards look for: TBD
Q: Change in Beneficiary Eligibility? A: TBD
AF Pharmacy: One Big Rock – DHA Transition
TRICARE Tier-3 Policy
Not a new policy, more a reminder / increased emphasis
Should not affect refills, just new prescriptions
Technology:
Biggest impact of transition on technology is the new centralized acquisition process
Standardization
Economies of scale, even with big-ticket items (should speed technology improvements
at MTFs)
Future of Remote Verification?
Future DHAPIs
Pharmacy Ops (standardization across MHS)
Controlled Substances?
