By doing this we will further promote pharmacy as a primary health care provider. To enable us to do this we are hoping to implement the following programs in the next 12 to 18 months. Development of a Critical Care Pharmacy satellite to serve our most critically ill patient population. By having pharmacists and pharmacy technicians closer to the patients we will enable ourselves to be more clinically active and have a greater impact on patient care. Development of an Operating Room Pharmacy satellite to serve our patients and heath care providers in this arena.
Pharmacists can play a huge role in the care of the patient while under going surgical procedures.
By providing this service, we will again place ourselves closer to the patients and therefore make a greater impact in their care. Initiate Pharmacists response to emergency code situations in the hospital. Pharmacists can play a vital role in resuscitation efforts. We are the medication experts and can assist, lend value, and ultimately increase positive outcomes in these very critical and stressful situations. It has been shown time and again that pharmacists can impact overall patient care and be leaders.
