Health system pharmacies, like other health care professionals, practice under a number of assigned standards. Basic perceptions of quality assurance (QA) values should be applied to hospital pharmacy practice.
At Dr. Ziauddin Hospital our Hospital Pharmacy & Allied/
Satellites (clinical specialty wise) services are designed to encounter the
prime needs of all our customers. Our Pharmacy services include dispensing of
pharmaceuticals in accord with country regulations, proper inventory
maintenance & management functions, drug monitoring, patient drug
assessment functions, appropriate record-keeping, drug information, IV
preparations, education services - training & development and performance
improvement functions - having all the broader outlooks aligned to provide the
best medication therapy for patients. Our goal is to have an error-free zone of
our hospital pharmacy environment, our operation management and all the relevant
services. We focus on a principle strategy, which is to
implement dynamic management programmes to ensure measurable operating results
through the continuous maintenance and improvement of quality initiatives.
Dr. Ziauddin Hospital
takes pride to have designated personnel/ representatives (all the hospital
campuses- North, Clifton and Keamari) who are working as Pharmacy Quality
Control (QC) leads and are associated and working in close integration with the
Hospital Quality Assurance (QA) Department. The Department of Quality Assurance
along with the Team of Pharmacists has made an excellent impact on the safety, quality,
effectiveness and efficacy of medicines used in our hospitals and also on the
swift expansions of clinical and pharmaceutical services. The Department of
Quality Assurance plans and conducts scheduled Internal & External Audits based
on mandatory international Standards. Regular Training & Development
sessions & programs are organized and conducted for improving our
systems. The general quality initiatives taken are very useful and applied to
various aspects of our pharmacy services – leading to a calculated result-oriented working attitude.
In the coming years,
by per se, Dr. Ziauddin Hospital Pharmacy Quality Control Unit and Quality
Assurance services would be able to unite, and enhance the responsibilities,
looking at advancements; having new opportunities of functional pharmacy-related domains and actively contributing to research and clinical trials with
quality management system and patient safety principles at their best
outstanding performance. In the future we
are looking at the expanded role of the Pharmacist Quality Control Leader at
our Hospital Pharmacy, having an enhanced and wider recognition of the blend of
scientific and technical expertise tied up with strong practical and analytical
skills - also having a pharmacy consultation service nationwide.
While focusing on Hospital pharmacy systems, we should not only
take up reflective tactics; instead, the call of time is to have a synchronized
series of measuring, monitoring, assessing, and improving in the all processes.
The entire focused as mentioned, should to be taken up in order to make certain
value standards for best practice, ultimately leading to absolute positive
results.
