چکیده
The concept of this book is taken from the feature called, “Ask the Joint Commission,” in the journal, Hospital Pharmacy, written by Darryl Rich, a pharmacist from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, who is an expert on this topic. The same question and answer format is used in Ask the Joint Commission: Understanding JCAHO Requirements for Hospital Pharmacies, which includes reviewed and updated questions and answers to reflect the Joint Commission’s interpretation of these issues from 1993 to September 2002. The questions and answers are grouped by subject area: “General Accreditation,” which provides a general overview of the accreditation process, “Storage and Security, Prescribing and Ordering, Pharmacist Review of Orders, Preparation and Dispensing, Automated Dispensing Devices,” “Labeling,” “Expiration Dating,” “Sample Medications,” “Patient Education,” “Clinical Pharmacy Service/Care Plans,” “Adverse Reactions and Adverse Drug Events,” “DUE/MUE,” “Performance Improvement,” “Human Resources Management,” “Patient Rights,” “Provision of Alternate-Site Pharmacy Services,” and “Miscellaneous.” The book also includes an appendix with contact information for state boards of pharmacy and other important organizations and agencies.
