Pharmacies

Many hospitals have both inpatient and outpatient pharmacy functions. Inpatient pharmacies supply drugs and pharmaceutical products to patients admitted to the hospital or having outpatient surgeries or procedures in the hospital. Outpatient pharmacies provide services to those who are not patients in the hospital, whether that means people having been discharged with a prescription to be filled or people from the general population who have a prescription from their primary care provider and need it filled.

Pharmacies generally all have electronic systems these days, if for no other purpose than tracking patient demographic data (home address, phone number, primary care physician (PCP), insurance, etc.) and for inventory management. Federally controlled substances must be tightly controlled and accounted for, so pharmacies have long had electronic systems to assist with this function. Over the past decade or so, pharmacies have begun integrating with EMRs. Again, if your organization has a pharmacy function, your IT shop may be responsible for ensuring downtime data are available for pharmacy staff. For inpatient pharmacies, that might mean having access to EMR downtime data; for outpatient pharmacies, it might mean having alternate solutions. Regardless, your BC/DR plan may include pharmacy functions.
