My Bio: Peyton Elizabeth Beck
About Me!
Hello potential employer! Thank you for taking interest in me as a potential candidate. My name is Peyton Beck, and I am currently a fourth year pharmacy student at the University of Texas at El Paso School of Pharmacy. Before pharmacy school, I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and completed my undergraduate degree in New York City while playing Division I college soccer. Upon graduation, I am looking for opportunities to be a problem solver, mentor, creator, and advocate within our health care system. I am highly motivated to make change, lead, and conduct necessary tasks to improve pharmacy business operations, collaboration efforts, and public health disparities. These passions allude to my Strengths Finder and 5Voices personalities: Connector, Relator, Creator, Achiever, Input, and Communication. Please do not hesitate in reaching out to me via phone or email!

Assessment: PMH: heart murmur & anomaly of chromosome pair 21 KDA: Amoxicillin Diagnosis: AR admitted on 11/26 for SOB and fever secondary to RSV (+) bronchiolitis & AOM onset. Weight: 11.6 kg Medications: Cefdinir IV x 10 days (D3/10), Albuterol 2.5 mg NEB Q3H, Miralax 8.5 g PO Daily, APAP 15 mg/kg PO SUSP Q6H PRN, Ibuprofen 10 mg/kg PO SUSP PRN, Ayr Saline 0.65% Solution 1 drop nasal TID Oxygen therapy: NC 2 - 3 L/min On 11/29 (day 3), AR is still febrile with high CRP counts. AR is also still experiencing severe respiratory symptoms due to RSV. Additionally, AR experiences an allergic reaction to Cefdinir IV therapy (severe body rash) on 11/29. Benadryl 12.5mg PO SUSP x 1 dose is given. Due to AR's allergies to amoxicillin and cefdinir, AR is in need of alternative antibiotic empiric therapy for AOM. Bacterial etiologies for AOM include Strep, H. Influenzae, and M. catarrhalis. Primary regimens for pediatric acute AOM consist of Amoxicillin, Augmentin, or Ceftriaxone x 10 days. None of these regimens are appropriate for AR due to their allergic reactions. Thus, alternative options are either Clindamycin PO (lacks H. influenzae efficacy) or Levofloxacin (not recommended in children due to joint ADEs).
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Discontinue Cefdinir IV Start Clindamycin 30-40 mg/kg/day (348-464 mg/day) PO SUSP div Q6-8H x 10 days Monitor for allergic reactions, hepatic function, GI status, and dysrhythmias due to PMH of heart murmur

Assessment: PMH: recent hospitalization for bacterial pneumonia secondary to RSV(+) & Rhino (+) with Augmentin outpatient treatment upon discharge. Patient is not fully immunized. Weight: 11.7 kg Diagnosis: YB readmitted for fever secondary to bacterial pneumonia and failed outpatient Augmentin therapy. YB completed 2.5 days of Augmentin 38 mg/kg PO SUSP BID treatment before readmittance. Upon admission, RSV & Rhino still detected, as well as high WBC count, low CO2, high glucose, high protein, high bilirubin, high AST & ALT, high alk phos, and high CRP laboratory results. Medications: APAP 15 mg/kg PO Elixir Q6H PRN & MIVF For children > 3 mo, bacterial pneumonia etiologies consist of Strep (group A), H. influenzae, mycoplasma, Staph, and M. tuberculosis. The primary regimen for not fully immunized children is Ceftriaxone 75-100 mg/kg IV Daily x 10-14 days. If MRSA is suspected, add Vancomycin 60-80 mg/kg/day div Q6-8H or Clindamycin 40 mg/kg/day div Q6-8H.
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Start Ceftriaxone 75-100 mg/kg (877.5-1170 mg) IV Daily x 10-14 days Start Vancomycin 60-80 mg/kg/day (702-936 mg/day) IV div Q6-8H Monitor GI, gallbladder, pancreas, renal, & hepatic function, bilirubin counts, histamine release syndrome, and DRESS signs/symptoms

Assessment: PMH: wisdom teeth removal on 11/16 (11 days prior to admission) Diagnosis: SB admitted on 11/27 for right-sided facial cellulitis & masticatory myositis secondary to a wisdom teeth removal procedure. Weight: 37.9 kg Medications: Unasyn 50 mg/kg (1885 mg) IVPB Q6H x 10 days (start on 11/27), APAP 13 mg/kg PO PRN, Toradol 10 mg IVP Q6H x 5 days (11/27 - 12/02) On 11/29 (D2/10), SB is afebrile, but still reports "burning pain" on the right side of jaw. For facial cellulitis, the common etiologies present are Staph, Strep, and H. influenzae (in children). Regimens usually consist of Vancomycin for 7-10 days in order to treat as if MRSA is present. Suggest adding or switching to Vancomycin 60-80 mg/kg/day IV div Q6-8H x 8 days for adequate coverage until the end of therapy. Step down therapy options for potential discharge should also provide adequate empirical coverage. Options include Augmentin PO or Bactrim PO. *Once rounds occurred, the medical team decided on SB's discharge*
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Discontinue Unasyn on day 2 of 10 of therapy Discharge Start Augmentin 20-40 mg/kg/day (758-1516 mg/day) PO div Q8H x 8 days

Assessment: PMH: AOM with outpatient antibiotic treatment failure Diagnosis: DE is readmitted after an AOM diagnosis for a fever and swollen eye secondary to periorbital cellulitis. Patient has recently failed Amoxicillin and Ceftriaxone therapies. Weight: 10.3 kg Medications: Unasyn 50 mg/kg IVPB Q6H, APAP 15.7 mg/kg PO SUSP PRN, MIVF DE has not made clinical improvements with Unasyn IV therapy. DE is still febrile with high WBC counts. DE's physical symptoms have also not improved with continued redness and swelling. The provider assumed DE would be stable by now for discharge with Augmentin PO and Bacitracin ointment, but that is now not the case. DE has now failed Amoxicillin, Ceftriaxone, and Unasyn antibiotic therapy. Periorbital cellulitis treatment should include coverage against S. aureus, strep, and anaerobes. Monotherapy with Augmentin or Cefdinir is not recommended due to lack of MRSA coverage. Due to DE's failed therapies, MRSA coverage is now required for adequate therapy. Additionally, DE will need a longer duration of adequate antibiotics. The usual duration is 5-7 days, but 10 days is recommended for this complexity. Current recommendations include Clindamycin or Bactrim + Augmentin or Cefdinir. For DE, Augmentin is not recommended due to recent antibiotic regimens. In comparison to Bactrim, Clindamycin has greater coverage of Strep A.
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Discontinue Unasyn 50 mg/kg (515 mg) IV Q6H Start Cefdinir 14 mg/kg/day PO div Q12-24H x 10 days Start Clindamycin 30-40 mg/kg/day PO div Q6-8H x 10 days Monitor hepatic function and GI status

Assessment: PMH: resolving subdural hemorrhage, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, increased bilirubin, and gestational diabetic pregnancy complications. ZM recently received 47 hour phototherapy. Diagnosis: Ethmoid sinus disease and respiratory distress secondary to RSV(+) bronchiolitis. ZM's symptoms consist of cough, SOB, lethargy, emesis, and nasal congestion. Oxygen therapy: NC 0.5 L/min Medications: Ceftriaxone 164 mg IV Daily and Cholecalciferol 400U PO Daily ZM has no current indications for antibiotic therapy. ZM's blood cultures are negative, and ZM's symptoms are indicative of the RSV(+) respiratory biofire results. Additionally, due to ZM's age and PMH of increased bilirubin, the use of Ceftriaxone puts them at an unnecessary risk for kernicterus - a population-specific condition resulting in brain damage from increased bilirubin secondary to Ceftriaxone use.

Maintained Professionalism during Counseling
Goals of Therapy: TG < 150 mg/dL
Drug-Related Needs: Indication
Drug Therapy Problem category: Unnecessary drug therapy
Assessment: It is not necessary for pharmacological treatment at this time, since the patient is not at considerable risk for pancreatitis (TG > 500 mg/dL), and the efficacy of ASCVD protection by TG reduction is not well known. ASCVD protection is usually demonstrated with LDL-C reduction, and those are currently WNL.
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Monitoring & Recommendations: - Assess acquired factors: genetic risk factors, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, sugar & fat consumption, excessive alcohol consumption, various medication interactions - Retest: fasting TG levels can fluctuate depending on alcohol consumption, meals, and exercise within the past 12-24 hours - Monitor: lipid profile, BG, A1C, SCr, TSH, albumin-protein, ASCVD risk factor management

Assessment: In range INRs --> appropriate initial dosing with 5mg T, R, Sat, Sun & 7.5mg M, W, F Held warfarin for 5 days --> significant reduction in INR expected 5 days since dental procedure and re-initiation of warfarin Currently: INR is subtherapeutic by 0.5, but there are complaints of bleeding. Due to the site and procedure, it is appropriate to reason that the bleeding isn't due to the patient's warfarin. Assess metabolic changes & signs/symptoms of DVT/PE, stroke, blood clots: new medications, over the counter medications, symptoms that affect absorption (decreased intake, diarrhea), and recent dietary changes; antibiotics can decrease/increase INR
Plan (Intervention, monitoring, education): Based solely on INR: add 5mg to today's dose and follow up in 1-2 weeks OR do not make changes and refer patient to dental provider for bleeding consultation Potential monitoring: neuroimaging due to "head trauma"; follow-up consultation with dental & surgical provider We do not want to inconsistently change the patient's diet, but educating patient on what to look for when looking for "softer food" options (also can discuss with surgical provider)

Hospital Dispensing Methods (Hospital IPPE)
Date: 01/07/2022
Rotation Type: P3Su P6281 Hospital Course IPPE
What are benefits to dispensing methods? Easy and quicker access to medications, maintaining accurate inventory
What are the limitations to that dispensing method? Out-of-stock situations, increased requirements and procedures for inventory maintenance, increased time and labor to maintain inventory and stock levels. Certain drugs may go unused and pass its expiration date.
List and describe a dispensing method used in Hospital Practice: Storage-based dispensing: Omnicell machines - stocks of medications in secure, centralized locations that restrict access to authorized personnel.
List and describe a dispensing method used in Hospital Practice: Tray-based dispensing - medication prep trays are used to dispense multiple medications to one workstation. The trays are designed for different needs and/or conditions, such as 'crash carts', anesthesia, and epidural trays.
What is the benefit(s) to that dispensing method? Quicker, more efficient method to access medications. Reduce time for storage restocking time with swapping individual medications.
What are the limitations to that dispensing method? Re-stocking trays may be tedious and time-consuming. Increased time necessary for pharmacists to manually check and verify. Inaccurate restocking and inventory errors is possible. Certain medications may go unused and pass its expiration date.
List and describe a dispensing method used in Hospital Practice: Pneumatic tube system delivery - 'tubes' used to secure medications and transport items over any distance in hospital to desired workstation.
What is the benefit(s) to that dispensing method? Fast transportation of medications over long distance. Medications stay secure when traveling. No labor or time necessary to deliver medications.
What are the limitations to that dispensing method? Certain medications cannot be dispensed through tube system (controlled substances, hazardous medications, expensive medications). When medication is delivered by tube to workstation, anyone with access can take medication. Decreased security of medication upon arrival could lead to medication errors and inventory discrepancies.

Inventory Management Principles (Hospital IPPE)
Date: 01/12/2022
Rotation Type: P3Su P6281 Hospital Course IPPE
Describe an inventory management principle used at your site: Assessment of supply chain data in automated systems
Describe any benefit(s) to using this inventory management principle: Prevents surpluses and shortages; more efficient purchasing; saves money by cutting waste and reducing drug expiration problems
Describe any limitation(s) to using this inventory management principle: Time and money for logistic analyses; regulatory pressures with accurate forecasting; hospital needs are more challenging to predict based on vastness of conditions and populations
Describe an inventory management principle used at your site: Corporate contracts and formulary
Describe any benefit(s) to using this inventory management principle: Efficient formulary saves money on unnecessary medications; reduce healthcare costs; authorized substitutions leads to saving time when provider sends order for non-formulary products
Describe any limitation(s) to using this inventory management principle: Strong institutional/regulatory pressures; safety stock leads to high operational cost and drug expirations; corporate compares MMC's costs to others within their company, even though other locations do not have a cancer center. This causes corporate to be extra conservative with the formulary and authorizations at MMC because of its high costs with the cancer center.
Describe any benefit(s) to using this inventory management principle: Stock what hospital needs without the cost and risk of surplus/expiration; tracks RFID-tagged products securely; invoices only what is used with automatic reordering; continuous temperature, recall, and expiration monitoring
Describe any limitation(s) to using this inventory management principle: Sensitive system - if someone pulls a product, it will automatically be notified and invoiced; may not have all product needs available to stock due to consignment contracts; time and money for installation and technical support; training required; third party procedures
Describe an inventory management principle used at your site: Utilization of Cubixx refrigerators - "safety stock" with consignment services that eliminate cost of expensive and uncertain drug supplies
