Pharmacy OneSource: How has Amplifi helped you in the pharmacy? Phil Williams: It is a wonderful tool for our pharmacy staff to be
able to access important formulary information. Specifically what drugs are
on formulary, therapeutic interchanges, any special handling instructions
such as restriction for use, special dosing circumstances, etc. It is
extremely beneficial during times of drugs shortages and outages as a
mechanism to educate staff about what products we have and can use when our
normal products are not available. Phil Williams: We list our pharmacy newsletters, medication memos,
various pharmacy competencies and educational materials, P&T agendas and
minutes, dosing and disease state protocols, etc. Phil Williams: It is very easy to use. It reaches all of our
medical staff and ancillary staff easily. It provides one-stop access to
medication related information. It is easy to update and maintain. Phil Williams: Pharmacy OneSource has been a trusted partner for many years. Amplifi is a wonderful tool that assists us in taking care of our patients in a more timely and safe manner. It helps use meet rigorous regulatory standards.
