  • Title: Pharmacy practice in an operating room complex.
    Author: Evans DM, Guenther AM, Keith TD, Lazarus HL.
    Journal: Am J Hosp Pharm; 1979 Oct; 36(10):1342-7. PubMed ID: 507076.
    Abstract:
    The steps involved in establishing a comprehensive pharmaceutical service in an operating and recovery room complex is described. Objectives of the operating room pharmaceutical satellite were to: (1) improve control of distribution, storage and charging for all drugs, especially Schedule II controlled substances; (2) reduce inventory costs and loss of revenue; (3) improve compliance with the drug formulary; and (4) establish patient-oriented pharmaceutical services. The pharmacy satellite improved inventory control and patient charging, assured continual access to all drugs and appropriate security for controlled substances, and expanded the pharmacy department's clinical, drug information and research activities.
