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.
 

The Pharmacy staff is committed to making sure patients understand their medications.
