    Establishing an operating room pharmacy satellite improved drug control and patient care. This pharmaceutical service enhanced inventory management, ensured drug availability, and expanded clinical pharmacy roles within the surgical setting.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Hospital Pharmacy
    • Surgical Pharmacy Services

    Background:

    • Operating rooms require specialized pharmaceutical support for efficient drug management.
    • Lack of dedicated pharmaceutical services in surgical areas can lead to inventory issues and suboptimal patient care.
    • Controlled substances require stringent control measures in all healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation of a comprehensive pharmaceutical service in an operating and recovery room complex.
    • To enhance the control of drug distribution, storage, and charging, particularly for controlled substances.
    • To reduce inventory costs, minimize revenue loss, improve formulary compliance, and establish patient-centered pharmaceutical services.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Establishment of a satellite pharmacy within the operating and recovery room complex.
  • Implementation of enhanced inventory control systems for all drugs, including Schedule II controlled substances.
  • Integration of clinical pharmacy services, drug information, and research activities.

    • Main Results:

    • Improved inventory control and accuracy in patient charging for medications.
    • Ensured continuous access to all necessary drugs and enhanced security for controlled substances.
    • Expanded clinical, drug information, and research functions of the pharmacy department within the surgical environment.

    Conclusions:

    • A dedicated operating room pharmacy satellite significantly improves pharmaceutical management in surgical settings.
    • The satellite service enhances drug security, cost-efficiency, and formulary adherence.
    • Implementation leads to expanded clinical pharmacy roles and improved patient-oriented services in the operating room.
