(+) Request an Appointment    Decentralized Pharmacy Services
Our pharmacists are decentralized, which means they are
continuously rounding in different patient care areas. This
allows for better communication with medical staff, nurses, and
our patients. In 2009, the decentralized services were expanded
to include the Emergency Department. There are many clinical
initiatives carried out such as conversion from intravenous to
oral medication therapy, monitoring of lab values to adjust
medication dosages, initiation of medication to prevent blood
clots when appropriate, and counseling patients on drug regimens
to allow a safer transition outside of the medical center. In
addition to these services, there is also a warfarin clinic run
by our decentralized team. Pharmacists are responsible for
monitoring lab values and adjusting warfarin doses for
orthopedic patients and follow them for four weeks after
discharge.  Clinical services  The Pharmacy
