    Decentralized pharmacists improved medication management at LDS Hospital by bringing drug distribution and patient profile checks to the nursing station. This approach addressed issues within the existing unit dose drug distribution system.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Hospital Administration

    Background:

    • The unit dose drug distribution system at LDS Hospital faced challenges.
    • A need existed to optimize medication management processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the implementation of a decentralized pharmacist model.
    • To address problems associated with the traditional unit dose drug distribution system.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented a decentralized pharmacist role at the nursing station.
    • Utilized a master medication cart for drug order fulfillment.
    • Employed a computer video terminal for patient profile review.

    Main Results:

    • The decentralized pharmacist model was introduced to resolve system issues.
