BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Ambulatory Care environment. The Pharmacy Department plans to expand to other disease state management
projects in the near future to optimize medication management and reduce the hospital readmit rates. In addition,
the regulatory demands on the Pharmacy Department have been tremendously increasing to a degree that current
administrative staff is not able to keep up with the changes and expectations to meet all required compliance. This
Assistant Director will not only provide administrative oversight in the aforementioned clinics but will also be in
the supervisory role in the Ambulatory Care Pharmacy operations as well as all clinical environments. The
Clinical/Drug Information Coordinator has been vacant since October of 2009 and the Department has determined
that an Assistant Director of Pharmacy Services will more appropriately meet the administrative needs of the
Pharmacy Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Department will not have adequate administrative staff in the Pharmacy
Department of the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its Health Centers and may adversely impact
regulatory compliance and patient care outcomes.
