Pharmacy Services Patient Care
The Department of Pharmacy Services strives to see patients and their families through a number of services and locations. We serve our patients both in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
When patients are in the hospital or receiving care at a University of Michigan Health facility, pharmacists are there working with physicians and nurses to ensure best care. Pharmacists serve as experts in drug therapy and dosing. Pharmacists perform functions like making sure chemotherapy orders are correct and properly dosed, helping patients and physicians with anticoagulation dosing, and dosing for drugs such as antibiotics and anticonvulsants.
The pharmacy also provides outpatient locations for patients to fill prescriptions. Because of the specialized care that U-M Health provides, often other community based pharmacies are not equipped to handle some of the complicated prescriptions that patients receive.
