Understanding the financial impact of a third-party contract clearly is important when making a decision about whether to accept or decline a third-party contract, but other factors also have a role in the decision. One factor that needs to be considered is the effect of the decision on pharmacy customers. If the decision is made to reject the contract, customers who have that third party may be forced to go elsewhere to obtain their prescriptions. This may mean angering, distressing, or inconveniencing some pharmacy customers. Many customers may not understand the pharmacy s decision and subsequently direct their anger toward the pharmacy staff. Pharmacists employed by the pharmacy also may be distressed by losing customers with whom they have established relationships. [Pg.279]

At a recent continuing-education seminar, Dr. Hamilton and her staff pharmacists learned of the potential for a significant interaction between the two medications in question. She was puzzled as to why one of the pharmacists would have told a physician that there are no drug interaction problems with the new drug. Dr. Hamilton and the staff pharmacists are aware that the hospital information technology department has not yet updated the pharmacy department computer system to include this interaction. As she concludes her conversation with Dr. Brown, she promises to find out what happened and take corrective action. [Pg.516]

In Dr. Hamilton s investigation, she discovers that technician Robert Allen in fact took the phone call and answered Dr. Brown s question. Dr. Hamilton calls a meeting of the pharmacists to discuss how to prevent such problems from occurring in the future. During the meeting, she discovers that a few of the staff pharmacists have, on occasion, observed Robert stepping outside his technician role because he was trying to be helpful. They tell her that they have attempted to correct his behavior but have had little success. This is the first time Dr. Hamilton has heard of the problem. [Pg.516]

The staff pharmacist may or may not have an advanced degree (i.e.. Doctor of Pharmacy degree). Although a PharmD degree is not required, it does ensure that the pharmacist has a good, sound clinical education. More important is the person s ability to think quickly when asked difficult questions or when in difficult situations to interact professionally with a wide range of individuals (both clinical and nonclinical) and to be able to work with little supervision in an often unstructured environment. [Pg.435]
