Clinical Solutions enters second year of
contract with Colorado Department of
CorrectionsIn March 2007, Clinical
Solutions began a three year consulting
agreement with the Colorado Department of
Corrections with the purpose of assessing
and improving upon the current model of
pharmaceutical care being provided to the
state's incarcerated population. The
agreement involves all components of the
health care delivery system including
pharmacy inventory, pharmacy workflow,
clinical pharmacy intervention, formulary
management, and disease state management.
In the first 12 months, pharmacy
workflows have been established, the P and T
committee has reconvened, the formulary has
been revised, and new cost saving technology
initiatives have begun. With improved
pharmacy workflows and workstations,
approximately $400,000 in annual savings has
been captured through reduction in
pharmacist staffing requirements alone. |
