Description
Overview

Mission Statement: As a proactive and progressive department, the Department of Pharmacy Services will seek to optimize pharmacy care* in all settings through collaboration with the patient, physician, and other health care providers.

* Pharmacy care is defined as the direct, responsible provision of medication related care for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improve a patient's quality of life.

The Norman Regional Health System Pharmacy Department is a highly eclectic group, employing 41 registered pharmacists (including 3 pharmacy residents), 31 technicians, and a department assistant. Of the pharmacists, 15 have completed a pharmacy practice residency, 3 have completed a specialty residency, and 12 are Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialists. Currently there is no Board of Pharmacy requirement for technicians to be nationally certified; however, a goal of the NRHS Department of Pharmacy is to eventually have all technicians nationally certified. Currently 11 out of 31 technicians are certified through the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. In addition, 3 technicians and 1 pharmacist have chemotherapy certifications.

You will find our pharmacists, in conjunction with technicians, profiling orders, answering drug information questions, compounding and dispensing medications, preparing intravenous medications including chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition, filling employee/indigent prescriptions, providing support in the surgery satellite pharmacy, precepting students, and supervising technician work. The pharmacy is staffed 24 hours, 7 days a week, and there is also a Clinical Pharmacist on call at all times. Pharmacists perform multiple other clinical activities including pharmacokinetic monitoring, renal dosing of medications, nutrition management, anticoagulation monitoring for all hospitalized patients, influenza vaccination screening/ordering, IV to PO medication conversion, and antimicrobial stewardship program activities. Pharmacists are also active members of various hospital committees in addition to managing many other responsibilities throughout the health system.

Norman Regional Health System is a team of more than 3,000 healers all working together to bring our mission and vision to life. Our mission is to serve our community as the leader in health and wellness care. Our vision is to be the provider of choice to improve the health and well-being of our regional communities.
