HOSPITAL PHARMACY SERVICES Clinical Services: Many hospitals offer clinical and consultative services such as nutrition support, pharmacokinetics, critical care, and other specialties. Drug Information Services: Most hospitals have a drug information service that is primarily responsible for making recommendations on a drug formulary. A hospital pharmacy may maintain a drug information center, containing reference works, including books, periodicals, microfilm, CDs, DVDs, and access to computerized or Internet databases.

Slide 45: 

HOSPITAL PHARMACY SERVICES Outpatient Pharmacy Services: Many large hospitals operate an outpatient pharmacy to serve the medication needs of patients discharged from the hospital, as well as for those patients who are seen in the emergency room or other ambulatory clinics adjoining the hospital.

Slide 47: 

AUTOMATION IN THE HOSPITAL PHARMACY Technology is used in the hospital pharmacy to increase accuracy and improve efficiency and quality of pharmacy services. Automated pharmacy services are replacing some of the routine, time-consuming filling procedures. For instance, large automated robots are now being used to perform some of the filling procedures with near 100% accuracy

Slide 48: 

Hospital Pharmacy Issues All computer systems must protect patient privacy. Safety Note!

Slide 49: 

Hospital Pharmacy Issues Although automation reduces errors, technical errors must still be monitored. Safety Note!

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT An important part of the technician’s position is the receipt, storage, and ordering of pharmaceuticals; discrepancies in the order from the wholesaler or pharmaceutical manufacturer should be resolved. Automation from the pharmacy wholesalers is making inventory management more accurate and less costly.

Slide 54: 

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOSPITAL Pharmacy Administration: The director of pharmacy is the pharmacist-in-charge, with overall responsibility for the hospital’s pharmacy services. Depending on the hospital size, additional assistant or associate directors may work under the director. In small rural hospitals, only one or two pharmacists may make up the pharmacy staff.

Slide 55: 

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOSPITAL Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations: The JCAHO is an independent, non-profit group that sets the standards by which quality of healthcare is measured. The primary mission of JCAHO is to ensure quality care and patient safety in the hospitals that are accredited. They evaluate levels of safety and the quality of care in more than 15,000 healthcare organizations.

Slide 56: 

Hospital Pharmacy Issues Almost 50% of JCAHO standards relate directly to safety. Safety Note!

Slide 57: 

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOSPITAL Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee: The P&T committee is primarily responsible for making the final decision on drug formulary decisions. Infection Control Committee: The major role of the infection control committee (ICC) is the prevention of nosocomial infections in the hospital. Universal precautions are used to prevent infection when a hospital worker comes into contact with blood or other bodily fluids.

Slide 58: 

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOSPITAL Institutional Review Board: The IRB is responsible for protecting the patient in investigational studies undertaken in the hospital.
