    Author: Jackson JC, Anderson RK, McGuire R.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1978 Apr 16; 52(8):107-8, 110. PubMed ID: 631788.
    Abstract:
    In order to solve problems associated with the unit dose drug distribution system at LDS Hospital, the decentralized pharmacist concept was tried. The pharmacist uses a master medication cart to fill new drug orders at the nursing station and a computer video terminal at the nursing station to check patient profiles. The reactions of nurses and members of the medical staff to the decentralized pharmacist are described.
