Hospital Pharmacy
Hospital Pharmacy provides medications and IVs for inpatients and outpatients undergoing procedures.
Our licensed pharmacists and technicians follow strict guidelines to fill physician orders with the correct medicine in the proper dose for each patient.
- Every medical unit has medicine-dispensing machines to store specific medications for each patient
- New technology in barrier isolation prevents contaminants from entering the chamber where an IV solution is prepared
- Barcodes placed on medicines in the pharmacy must match what is dispensed through the Med-Select machine
- Nurses who dispense the medications use fingerprint identification to keep the system secure
- High-risk medications, like insulin and blood thinners, are double-checked by two nurses before they are administered to a patient
- Children’s medications are color-coded
- Each patient’s medical record includes alerts for allergic reactions and information about other medications used (e.g., doses, frequencies, and pharmacies) to make sure nothing is overlooked
