Dr. Ronnie Strickland, Remote Pharmacy Services at Cardinal discusses how outsourcing pharmacy fills gives floor pharmacists time for patient communication and focus on safety. He discusses what can be done from a remote virtual standpoint and how this can help protect patients. In rural, smaller hospitals, along with night shifts, often a nurse is required to be a nurse and a pharmacist. Outsourcing tools protect and intervene in errors, many of which are medication safety-related.
