As the hospital pharmacy takes on an increasingly important role in systemwide clinical and strategic initiatives, and as reimbursements and patient satisfaction become top priorities, hospitals of all sizes are beginning to recognize the value of supplementing their pharmacies with remote clinical personnel.
In the past, the hospitals that most commonly sought partnerships with remote pharmacy service providers were those that needed to backfill the pharmacy during night shifts, or hospitals that did not have enough staff on hand. However, now that pharmacists are playing an increasingly larger role in systemwide initiatives — such as medical reconciliation, implementing EHRs and helping patients understand their medication regimens as they prepare for discharge — many more hospitals are seeing the need to supplement their pharmacy with additional staff.
In a July 20 webinar sponsored by Cardinal Health, Kelly Morrison, Director of Remote Pharmacy Services, will describe how hospital leaders can leverage remote pharmacy services, create a lasting partnership, discover opportunities for increased performance and patient satisfaction and identify additional benefits of using RPS.
