1 Tell us something good FEBRUARY 8, 2016 Pharmacy Troy Huddleston Submitted by: Krista Ross, Interim Director of Pharmacy MEET THE PHARMACY Located on a corner of the fourth floor, the hospital pharmacy department is a small, but mighty group of determined pharmacists and technicians. Over the last year we have experienced numerous changes. We have several new employees and two new pharmacies was a year of growth and excitement for us, and we could not be more grateful to share something good about pharmacy with our T.J. coworkers! Michelle Sells, Jess Chesnut, Krista Ross, Sabrina Underwood and Brandy Headrick Faye Jessie INPATIENT PHARMACY The inpatient pharmacy is staffed with five full-time pharmacists and two PRN pharmacists. Krista Ross is the current Interim Director and provides management and support to all four of our pharmacies as well as the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The inpatient pharmacists are Nicole Pursley, Kristi Pierce, Brandy Headrick, Angie Hedgespeth, Troy Huddleston, Jess Chesnut (PRN), and Brad Montgomery (PRN). Many of you know Nicole from our CCARE program. She is our medication safety expert and monitors our medication adverse events as well as works diligently to monitor medication errors throughout the organization. Kristi Pierce is our clinical informatics expert. She has a great skill and understanding of pharmacy practice, medication use process, information systems, healthcare technology and automation. Brandy is our 797/IV room compliance expert and is currently working hard to keep up with the continually changing regulations of sterile compounding. Angie comes with Kristi Pierce, Angie Hedgespeth, Nicole Pursley and Brandy Headrick a large amount of hospital, retail and MTM (Medication Therapy Management) experience. Troy recently came on board with retail experience and is very excited to dig into hospital pharmacy practice. We loved him so much that we hired his wife Tiffany to come on board as a hospital pharmacist as well. Jess Chesnut retired from T.J. Samson after almost 30 years of dedication to our organization, and Brad has both retail and hospital pharmacy background. The pharmacists act as clinical medicine and pharmacokinetic experts. They are available to physicians, nurses, and other clinical staff to consult on a variety of treatment protocols. In addition to this role, they do chart review, anticoagulation monitoring, conduct in-services, and training of pharmacy school students. Even though patients may never see a pharmacist during their stay, they are essential providers in their care. Our pharmacists have over 95 years of combined experience and hold doctoral level degrees.

2 Kathy Williams In addition to pharmacists, we have 11 full time and 2 PRN certified pharmacy technicians (CPhTs) that are essential for operating our pharmacy. Our technicians are Faye Jessie (Purchasing Expert/Tech), Kathy Williams, Larry Davidson (Fluids Tech), Beth Henry (Night Tech), Judy Turner (Night Tech), Sabrina Underwood (Lead Tech), Katrina Walker (Lead Tech), Michelle Sells (Lead and Chemotherapy Tech), Amber Fisher, Patty Harrison (PRN), Sara Harris (PRN), Heather Taylor, and Stonetta Ogden. Heather and Stonetta are the two newest members of the pharmacy team. The CPhTs are responsible for restocking medications/fluids all over the hospital, sterile and non-sterile compounding, unit-dosing, station checks, inventory management, ordering medications and so much more. In order to hold the CPhT designation, they must pass a national certification test and renew every two years. The pharmacy runs smoothly because of our devoted technicians! Our pharmacists are very grateful to have such a rock solid technician support T.A. Jackson Amber Fisher and Stonetta Ogden Beth Henry & Judy Turner Michelle Sells ONCOLOGY PHARMACY The Oncology Pharmacy at the Pavilion is one of the newest adventures for the pharmacy department.

Jackson is the Chemotherapy Technician for the Pavilion. He recently completed a national chemotherapy compounding certification course. Michelle Sells is currently in the process of completing this course for the inpatient pharmacy.

On February 3, in the early morning, the Skilled Nursing Unit experienced a "flood" (literally). A hopper in a soiled utility room overflowed and quickly, clean water began flowing down the hallway. The "flood" happened right at change of shift time which was very fortunate. Also, we were fortunate that this did not happen during the night when fewer staff members would have been readily available to respond. Once the call for help (Signal 9) was announced over the intercom, help came from everywhere, and thankfully everyone came very quickly. Housekeeping, Maintenance, Rehabiliation, and staff from every department and every floor came to our rescue. The water was vacuumed and things returned to normal with no interruption in resident care. Many thanks to the nursing staff on SNU for their quick and appropriate response and to the many other employees who helped save the day. To show our appreciation, SNU employees invited those first responders for cupcakes and popcorn in the afternoon after everything was back to normal. Many thanks to all who helped. Tabby Huffman, SNU Director
