Expanding the Pharmacist's Role in a Psychiatric Hospital
Abstract
The pharmacy department at the Fort Logan Mental Health Center is conducting a program to determine how clinical pharmacy services can be used more directly by one of the treatment teams. A pharmacist reviews patients' drug regimes each week with the team psychiatrist, the medication nurse, and the patients. A pharmacist also takes a drug history at admission, to identify possible drug allergies and adverse reactions to drugs, and he reviews new patients' laboratory reports for any drug-induced abnormalities.
