Jennifer Toliver: Staff pharmacists have the opportunity to be a liaison (direct pharmacy contact person) with specific provider groups/teams to help streamline communication, improve patient experiences, improve processes, and collaborate on new initiatives. They also act as a great reference person for pharmacy staff members when specific questions arise.
Katy Juhl: Across the hospital, pharmacists are active participants in patient rounding and on a wide assortment of multidisciplinary committees. We have close working relationships with both physician and nursing staff and have been welcomed into several inpatient and outpatient care teams.
