Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Services

Background:

  • Operating room (OR) pharmacies are crucial for efficient surgical workflows.
  • Previous models lacked comprehensive justification and implementation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the justification, implementation, and services of an on-site OR pharmacy.
  • To demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and integration of OR pharmacy services.

Main Methods:

  • Audits of controlled substance accountability, drug preparation, labeling, and storage.
  • Cost analyses of drug waste and potential savings.
  • Collaborative implementation involving Anesthesia, Pharmacy, and Nursing departments.

Main Results:
