Reorganizing to provide pharmaceutical care.
We feel the reorganization has enabled us to position the department and, more importantly, the individual practitioner to achieve a practice model that approaches the pharmaceutical care paradigm. As a result of the reorganization, our department is now structured around patient care and has in place teams of pharmacists, technicians, and managers who have the potential to be proactive and collaborative with other health care professionals to improve the drug therapy outcomes of our patients.
