Clinical Practice

The pharmacy department at Ascension Genesys Hospital aims to optimize the medication therapy and associated outcomes for each of our patients we care for. Utilizing a decentralized pharmacy practice model, our pharmacists are well positioned to integrate with the health care team on patient care units and serve as a resource for nurses, physicians, and other health care providers alike. Clinical pharmacy services offered to our patients include the following:

  • Anticoagulant dosing
  • Pharmacokinetic antibiotic dosing
  • Interdisciplinary rounding services in all intensive care units 
  • Cardiac arrest / code blue emergency response
  • Emergency department trauma code response
  • Code stroke response 
  • Protocol-driven initiatives (e.g., renal dosing, antimicrobial dosing based on indication, IV to PO, therapeutic interchange)
  • Transitions of care optimization

Concerning centralized pharmacy services, our professional staff members are supported by technical staff members who aid in medication dispensing, preparation, and delivery. Additionally, our department thoughtfully uses automated processes and technology to enhance workflow and productivity.
