AN Rx FOR
The CHI Mercy Health
Pharmacy Department has
been nationally recognized for
their dedication to safety and
quality care for the community.
In March 2015, CHI Mercy Health's pharmacy
passed a Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) 340B Drug Pricing Program
audit, which reviewed policies, procedures, and a
sample of patient charts to ensure proper use of
federal resources for medication assistance.
"The 340B Program enables facilities to
stretch scarce resources as far as possible,
reaching more patients with needed medications
and providing more comprehensive services,"
says Amy Noeske, PharmD, RPh, Pharmacy
Manager at CHI Mercy Health. "What made our
success possible is the work that our pharmacy
technicians and pharmacists do to make
medication safety a top priority. CHI Mercy Health
has an excellent pharmacy sta."
RISING TO THE CHALLENGE
Amy has worked at CHI Mercy Health since 1996,
ensuring hospital sta deliver medications safely
and accurately and helping patients manage their
prescriptions once they get home. She works
closely with patients the moment they come
to CHI Mercy Health, reviewing their current list
of medications, analyzing doctors' orders, and
watching for potential adverse drug interactions.
"The best part of my job is that nothing stays
the same," Amy says. "There are many moving
parts when it comes to medications. I really enjoy
the clinical side of what I do."
