Standards of Practice
The Pharmacy goes beyond externally established
norms to achieve optimal outcomes in the use of drugs and
medicines in the tribal communities it serves. It:
- Uses a customized computer program to screen for drug
interactions and allergy contradindications.
- Conducts periodic drug utilization reviews and evaluations
on medications and therapies used to treat conditions prevalent
in the community.
- Reviews patient medication records and prescriptions to
verify that drugs are prescribed and taken appropriately
for the patient's age, gender, and medical condition. This
includes checking dosages and duration of therapy for correctness.
- Manages the availability, preparation, and control of
medication.
