Case Study: All-Inclusive Support Contract

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.

DISCUSSION: Kelli Brown (Interim Superintendent) and Nate Kamban (Transitional Assistant Superintendent) were present to discuss the union contract between The General Truck Drivers and Helper’s Union (Affiliated With The International Brotherhood of Teamsters) Local #92 and the Tuscarawas County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

This summer I was able to do my IPPE hours at Kroger Pharmacy in Findlay, OH with Dr. Alison Mosler. This was my first experience working in a pharmacy, so I was very excited to learn everything I could about community pharmacy. From shadowing a pharmacist in my first semester, I gained a basic understanding of the process of filling a prescription. Through this experience, I was able to shadow at each work station and work hands-on at production and some at drop-off. Furthermore, I participated in activities like taking a phone-in prescription, testing my blood glucose levels, and transferring a prescription.

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.

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. Final check is done by pharmacist, who confirms right medication for right patient as well as the NDC dispensed, amount dispensed, direction for use, and day supply. All these steps of process take place on working table in sequential order, which helps to reduce errors in filling and have effective prescription filling. Once the prescription is filled pharmacist do all paper
