Play of the Week:
Play of the week to Dr. Sharen Wilson for successfully nominating the NCC Pediatrics residency for a gift from the Oak Leaf Club! Thanks to Sharen's nomination, the resident workroom on 3W now has a new futon and a speaker. May the old futon (pictured below) and its distinctive Cheeto-like musk rest peacefully.
Many thanks to LT Dianna Garcia, who was the triage provider in clinic on Friday and selflessly stepped up to see several patients after unexpected changes in the schedule. We greatly appreciate your positive attitude and willingness to help during a very busy day!

Announcements:
All Staff:
Please be advised of the following changes to pharmacy operations, effective Monday, June 6, 2022:
(1) The PEDIATRICS PHARMACY within the peds PCMH will close.
(2) For NEW prescriptions:
Providers MUST enter new prescriptions to the America or Arrowhead Pharmacy.
Families may not have their children’s DoDID numbers memorized, so please write this down for families on the business card or on their checkout sheet before they leave.
Advise families to complete the following steps to have prescriptions filled:
Text 833-201-9306 with “get in line,” and respond to the next prompts for DoDID#, etc. It may take some time to receive a confirmation message from the pharmacy, which will begin with a “Q” ticket number. The check-in process is NOT complete until the “Q” ticket number is received.
Wait in the peds lobby for their prescriptions. The family will receive a text from pharmacy when the prescriptions are ready.
Proceed to the pharmacy lobby, then text “I am here.” The family should NOT text “I am here” until they are physically in the pharmacy lobby.
Note that this process applies to NEW prescriptions only.
(3) For REFILLS: same-day refills will no longer be filled.
Refills must be picked up at the NEX pharmacy or Drive-Thru pharmacy, and must be activated 48 hours in advance of the requested pick-up time. To activate a refill, patients can utilize one of the options below:
Tricare Online
Automated Call-In Refill Line (800-377-1723)
Call center (301-295-2123)
In-Person Paper Drop-Off Requests (dropped off to the Drive Thru pharmacy or the NEX pharmacy)

For the rising seniors, prepare for your meeting by:
Updating your Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) on Pedialink. Please contact the program coordinators if you are having trouble accessing the website. You can also complete the attached Word doc version, instead
Update your Procedure Log on MedHub. See below for the Procedures handbook section as a reminder of which procedures need to be logged.
Start building your Resident Portfolio on MedHub. Please see the attached "How-To" PDF with screenshots. We are adopting a "Digital Portfolio", rather than a hard-copy binder moving forward, with the goal of "Going Green" and cutting down on the number of emails you have to field from the PCs and CR and vice versa. The portfolio should be a "One Stop Shop" for all of your Residency Requirements & Accomplishments that we will refer to throughout your residency.
Theresa and Lauren may email you requesting updates about your Certifications & Licensure (BLS, NRP, PALS, unrestricted state license, training license). Please reply to them!
For resident scheduling in clinic:

Draft an email message detailing the issue- ideally no later than the night before your clinic, so the issue can be resolved while the early morning crew is working on schedules.
Include the clinic administrators in the “TO” line- Ms. Bates (Adrian.e.bates.ctr@mail.mil) and Ms. Stocks (Jerna.j.stocks.ctr@mail.mil)
Include the clinic leadership team in the “CC” line- Dr. Renuka Rees (Renuka.s.rees.mil@mail.mil), Ms. Charlee (Charmoine.a.draughn.civ@mail.mil), and Ms. Putney (Sabrina.l.putney.civ@mail.mil)
