Set-up and workflow of my pharmacy is pretty good for patient centered care. Patient does not have to wait too long for their prescriptions to be filled. Patients can call for their refills via telephone or online, which makes their life easy as they don’t have bother coming in-person for refills. Patient profile shows all medication history as well as number of refills remaining. This makes it easy for pharmacist to know whether to refill a prescription or call doctor for refill request. After confirming to fill a prescription pharmacist runs claim through insurance and print label after claim is successful. All medication is arranged alphabetically on shelves, thus it is easy and quick to retrieve. Then after technician fills medication and then pharmacist checks it. This workflow is quite smooth and quick to process.

My interest in the PGY1 Residency Program at Kaiser Permanente Orange County has been sparked by my attraction to the field of hospital pharmacy. More specifically, I am interested in an inpatient hospital pharmacy experience that the Kaiser Permanente provides. During summer 2017, I was an intern pharmacist at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, and I learned a lot about the pharmacist’s role in a hospital setting. After completing that rotation, I hoped I could learn more about the pharmacist’s role in a hospital setting. The reason I am more interested in residency program at Kaiser Permanente is many different kinds of experiences that Kaiser provides, such as Ambulatory Care, and Drug Use Management.

The article is, Evaluating the Impact of Medication Cabinets in Patient’s Rooms on a Medical-Surgical Telemetry Unit, and it is a study about the impact of medication cabinets in each patient’s room on the administration of medication. In the article it states, “Nurses spend 27% of their time on medication-related activities and over 73% of their time on nonmedication-related activities, and they are responsible for 26-38% of medication errors in hospitalized patients,” (Arinal, M. F., Cohn, T., & Avila-Quintana, C., 2014, pg. 77). From personal experience in the hospital, it is no surprise that nurses spend so much time on medication administration.

?As a general rule, parents are not liable for the contracts entered into by their minor children? (Kubasek et al., 2016, p. 226).

Despite the fact that my son was turning 18 soon and irrespective of Marshall?s awareness to my son?s age, my son was only 17 and was not authorized to act on my behalf.

I am requesting permission to hire Ms. Phyllis Whitney-Ousley to an emergency hire contract for the Fall 2017 term. HLTH, HPER, and PHED faculty member, Ms. Cheryl Green, has gone on FMLA as of Monday, 08-21-17. Ms. Green’s leave is scheduled to last for essentially the balance of the Fall semester. This leaves a void of six classes which require staffing. The dearth of adjuncts available to teach in the day, when the lion’s share of the vacated classes is offered, does not permit me to staff the aforementioned sections with adjuncts. Additionally with the start of the semester being nigh, I will not have time to post a position and conduct a search.
