The hospital pharmacist receives a script from the cardiologist and sends the medicine to the med-surg unit for a cardiology patient. The nurse administers the dosage to the patient. And the patient receives the drug to recover from a heart attack. At this moment, each interaction involves ensuring that the dosage is accurate for the safety and health outcome of the patient.
In addition to dosage diligence, these healthcare professionals are handling a multitude of other concerns and responsibilities. When clinicians can focus on their core patient care competencies and pharmacists can process orders efficiently and supply the right medication at the right time and the right strength, the patient and the healthcare system improves.
