Services for Admitted Patients

Our hospital’s integrated network of inpatient pharmacies serve as a concierge for clinicians providing care. In each of our inpatient units, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work alongside doctors and nurses, distributing medication for patients, rounding daily with the care teams, monitoring patient profiles and providing pharmacy consultations.

In addition, when requested, our pharmacists also provide drug information and medication consultations for patients and families on the units.

The staff at our central pharmacy and satellite pharmacies, located in key places throughout the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, provide many services that our clinicians rely on, including:

  • Preparing sterile intravenous medications and fluids
  • Compounding and dispensing oral medications
  • Providing specialized pharmacy services for specific procedures or advanced care protocols
  • Supporting clinical trials research by ensuring that storage, security, packaging, labeling and inventory maintenance of investigational drugs comply with federal, state and institutional standards
  • Providing a Tdap vaccination service for our patients’ families prior to a child’s discharge
