filling these two part-time positions and is currently utilizing overtime and registry
personnel (working full-time) in order to meet adequate staffing levels. The Unit has
experienced an increased work load due to the installation of the new EPIC computerized
health information system combined with increased patient load. Additionally, the
Pharmacy Unit is challenged with newer and more audits from regulatory bodies. Thus, it
becomes necessary to have adequate staffing to meet patient needs and medication safety
goals and regulations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Pharmacy Unit will not have sufficient staff to meet its
operational needs, which impacts patient care services.
