Pharmacy

Barstow Community Hospital’s clinical pharmacists are an integral part of the patient’s medical team. Barstow Community Hospital’s pharmacy is not a retail pharmacy, but instead provides safe and progressive pharmaceutical services to care for patients. This care includes both actively providing medication education and answering any questions patients might have.

Pharmacy staff work with other hospital departments to provide a multi-disciplinary, team-based approach to medicine to evaluate possible drug allergies, medication history and general medical conditions to determine optimal pharmaceutical solutions for recovery. Two examples of how this medical evaluation may benefit patients:

  • Renal adjustment
  • Review patient profile for drug-interactions.

The hospital has installed a pharmaceutical dispensing and monitoring system designed to enhance collaboration between pharmacists and nurses. The medication management system contains features intended to increase patient safety and speed the delivery of drugs to patients.

Barstow Community Hospital takes its medication stewardship responsibility very serious. Stewardship programs include:

  • antimicrobial stewardship;
  • and, opioid stewardship program.
