Pharmacy upgrades aim to improve patient safety and efficiency
The Medical Center's in house pharmacy, with 27 staff including nine pharmacists, handles 3500 to 4000 oral doses and 300 to 350 IV doses daily. A new electronic system will track drug interactions and dosages, enable barcode use, and speed orders from doctors to the pharmacy, reducing transcription errors and paper flow. Parrish notes immediate turnaround and a move toward computerized physician entry. Parrish, now two and a half years at the center, hails from Monahans and Kermit and studied in Grand Prairie.
