Patient Safety
At Strong Health, patient safety is what drives us to embrace
the latest innovations that can help us avoid giving the incorrect
drug and/or
the incorrect
dose to our customers. We employ
new technologies and automation allowing the pharmacy team
to be more patient focused.
 Our technologies and practices include:
- Robotics and technology (at Strong Memorial Hospital)
- Bar coding
- Drug interaction & drug dosage checking tables
- Getting to know our customers
on a personal basis
Follow the Directions on Your Medication
Effective pharmacy has to include the patient’s ability
to follow the directions of the medications. Only with proper amounts,
taken in the prescribed manners, can we expect pharmaceuticals
to demonstrate
their effectiveness on our health.
For safety’s sake most medicines come in child proof or
safety-proof packaging. Ask your pharmacist for non-child proof
packaging if it’s easier for you to use.
If you are a person or a caretaker for a person who requires a
complicated schedule of medication and therapies, talk to your
pharmacist about some inexpensive tools available on the market
that are designed to help you take your medications exactly as
prescribed by your physician.
