Ambulatory Surgery Center Pharmacist Consulting

Extensive Review

Pharmacist Consulting to ASCs is an expertise. Our Audit has over 100 items, and continues to grow, adapt, and change along with the standards, best practices, and Accreditation Standards.

Survey

We have been developing our checklist for over 10 years. We stopped counting at over 100 items. We continuously adjust it as best practices, standards, and regulations change.

Regulatory Expertise

We stay up to date on the current standards with ASC Accreditation. We also stay current with pertinent pharmacy regulations from the Board of Pharmacy, USP, NIOSH, and other regulatory and standards organizations.

Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Scheduled Medication Diversion Prevention

We have created an extensive program to support your center in implementing a "Culture of Security," and to ensure you follow all of the Federal DEA Regulations.

Education

We provide education needs from inservice, to Patient Safety Tools, and even Keynote Speeches. We see our role as providing the "pharmacist perspective" to the team handling medications.

Formulary Design

Experience with over 100 Ambulatory Surgery Centers provides us with extensive knowledge to design a streamlined and cost effective opening formulary. Once the formulary is developed, we can supply facility specific Look Like/Sound Alike (Confused Drug Names) and High Alert Medication Lists. We can even provide cubby labels!

We have developed draft Emergency Cart and Malignant Hyperthermia cart contents lists, and working with your team, including anesthesia, can develop you facility specific list.

We have developed best practices for tracking to DEA Scheduled Medications, and can provide you with forms designed specifically for your center and adapted to your preferences.
