Published: 1/14/2010

Sarah-Ann Stephens is the Clinical Pharmacy Coordinator at Jane Phillips Medical Center and has been using Sentri7 since 2008. In this interview she explains how Sentri7 helps the pharmacy department and others follow certain patient groups in real time.

Pharmacy OneSource: What successes have you seen so far with Sentri7?

Sarah-Ann Stephens: I like the fact that we can follow any patient in the hospital at real time. I can look up anything I want and I can run any report with Sentri7.

Pharmacy OneSource: How has Sentri7 helped you in the pharmacy department?

Sarah-Ann Stephens: As a department we follow certain patient groups daily and Sentri7 has allowed for this to occur. For example some of the lists of patients we follow include:

  1. all patients in the hospital who have a CrCr < 50 and make dose adjustments or recommendations on them
  2. any patient on warfarin with or without a recent INR ordered
  3. all patients on broad spectrum antibiotics
  4. IV to PO medication opportunities
  5. all patients on vancomycin (we have a vancomycin dosing service)

Pharmacy OneSource: Do you have other departments using the program?

Sarah-Ann Stephens: Yes: infection prevention and the diabetes care team. I am just setting up the dietary. (TPN and warfarin education, etc.)

Pharmacy OneSource: What do you like best about Sentri7?

Sarah-Ann Stephens: I like the real time aspect of the program and the ability to run reports.

Pharmacy OneSource: Any other comments you'd like to make about Sentri7 or Pharmacy OneSource:

Sarah-Ann Stephens: I have been very pleased with my account manager, he has been very helpful and very willing to teach me anything I am not comfortable with.
