title: Remodeling on a shoestring improves pharmacy's efficiency.
abstract: A hospital's pharmacy renovated its existing outdated and highly restricted departmental space to help ensure more efficient operation until the master plan for hospitalwide improvements could be completed and implemented. This temporary renovation was accomplished at very low cost and yielded improvements ranging from better use of space and personnel to better communication between the nursing and the pharmacy departments.
