    Shared pharmaceutical services between two rural hospitals reduced costs and improved staffing. This collaboration made comprehensive pharmacy services more accessible and sustainable for smaller facilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Pharmacy Management
    • Rural Health Services

    Background:

    • Small rural hospitals often face challenges in providing comprehensive pharmaceutical services.
    • Resource limitations can impact cost-effectiveness and staffing in rural healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a shared pharmaceutical services model implemented between two rural hospitals.
    • To evaluate the impact of this shared service arrangement on cost reduction and personnel recruitment/retention.

    Main Methods:

    • A contractual agreement was established between a 140-bed and a 40-bed rural hospital.
    • The larger hospital provided comprehensive pharmaceutical services, including procurement of IV fluids and supplies.
    • Pharmacy leadership and staff were shared, with rotations and permanent assignments.

    • Procurement of specific items was centralized, while others remained separate.

    Conclusions:

    • Shared pharmaceutical services offer a viable strategy for rural hospitals to enhance service offerings.
    • This model demonstrates potential for cost savings and improved workforce stability in underserved areas.
    • Inter-hospital collaboration can overcome resource limitations in rural healthcare settings.
