In observance of Antibiotic Awareness Week, we spoke with PipelineRx’s antimicrobial stewardship expert, Aviva Bodek, PharmD, BCPS, about her expertise in antibiotic use dating back to her time working as a critical care clinical pharmacist, where she witnessed the impact of infection control on patient outcomes.
A look at the patient experience benefits telepharmacy provides from the perspective of a nurse. It will cover the 5 Rs of medication management, staffing issues, patient safety initiatives, and access to clinical expertise.
Since our founding, we’ve been helping hospitals ensure 24/7 prospective medication order review, primarily during nights and weekends when many pharmacies were closed. Over time, we’ve seen our clients start to utilize our services in very creative ways. Some are more obvious, such as covering for an extended leave of absence, but others may surprise you.
As a telepharmacy client, you may not have thought much about our system integrating with your EHR. You already know that we built our software to help us manage fax and scanned orders as well as CPOE orders from a single source, and that our processes are patient-centric vs. med order driven.
