Pharmacy

Crossing Rivers Health Pharmacy Department not only provides the medications used in the hospital, but are also experts in medication use.

The pharmacists work with physicians and nurses to ensure that the medications used at Crossing Rivers Health are safe and effective, provide information on the best ways to give medications, minimize the possibility of drug or food interactions, and avoid medication error.

Medication reconciliation is the process of creating the most accurate list possible of all medications a patient is taking, including the drug name, dosage, frequency, and route. That list is compared against the physician's admission, transfer, and/or discharge orders with the goal of providing correct medications to the patient at all transition points within the hospital. A medication reconciliation list is given to the patient on discharge from the hospital.
