Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus
Department of Pharmacy is a hospital pharmacy which takes care of inpatients
and outpatients. Recent changes to the pharmacy practice model allow the
pharmacy to operate in a decentralized practice manner. Monmouth Medical
Center – Southern Campus Department of Pharmacy is committed to
ensure patient satisfaction and continuity of care.
The outpatients cared for by the pharmacy are registered mainly to the
emergency department, radiology, wound care, surgery, and outpatient infusion
center. The hospital pharmacy takes care of a growing outpatient oncology/hematology
population, onsite in the outpatient infusion center. The hospital participates
in the 340B drug pricing program, the benefits of which apply to the population
they serve.
The inpatient pharmacy is centralized near the emergency department and
the operating room. Decentralized services are planned through one pharmacist
rounding and counseling patients on two adult inpatient telemetry units,
and the Geriatric Emergency Medicine (GEM) pharmacist (7 days per week)
performing consults in the GEM unit and follow-up on the inpatient Acute
Care of the Elderly (ACE) unit. The decentralized model is supported by
computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE), automated dispensing cabinets
(ADC) on the units, and bed-side barcode medication administration. Technicians
support the pharmacists by restocking the ADCs and delivering non-stocked
medications to the units from the central pharmacy. In the central pharmacy,
the technicians assist pharmacists by answering phones, filling labels,
compounding and picking medications, and performing deliveries. Centralized
clinical pharmacists answer phones, verify orders, and oversee technician
activities and IV room compounding.
The hospital services supported by the pharmacy department include pediatrics
in the emergency department, critical care, geriatrics, oncology psychiatry,
general medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, orthopedic surgery, general
surgery, ophthalmologic surgery, podiatric surgery, and ear nose and throat surgery.
