  • Title: OR satellite pharmacies: demographics, services, and implementation.
    Author: Nevius L.
    Journal: Hosp Pharm; 1987 Jan; 22(1):33-8. PubMed ID: 10280292.
    Abstract:
    OR satellite pharmacies are a relatively new addition to a system of pharmacy-coordinated drug distribution. The institution of a pharmacy branch to service the operating room is hypothesized to have a number of advantages over a centralized pharmacy system including improved service, reduced inventory, increased charge capture, better narcotic control, and more efficient drug delivery. Hospital Pharmacy and the OR Satellite Pharmacy Bulletin published a questionnaire to obtain information on OR satellite pharmacies from those actively involved in their planning, implementation, and operation. The questionnaire covered three major areas: demographics, functions and services, and implementation. This article summarizes the results.
