Medication Reconciliation & Drug Distribution
Medication Reconciliation
Creating the most accurate list possible of all medications a patient is taking — including drug name, dosage, frequency, and route — and comparing that list against the physician’s admission, transfer, and/or discharge orders is called medication reconciliation. It helps ensure patients are given correct medications at all transition points within the hospital.
Trillium Pharmacy is a leader in providing medication reconciliation to our patients. We work together with pharmacists, technicians and nurses in inpatient and outpatient units to provide medication reconciliation to our patients.
Drug Distribution
Medications are supplied in a unit dose format where each dose is packaged and labeled individually. The department has an automated unit dose-dispensing machine to streamline the drug distribution process and to assist with supplying approximately 7000 doses per day of medications to the inpatients at Trillium.
Distributing patient medication is one part of distribution services. Trillium Pharmacy is also responsible for purchasing and inventory management, compounding topical products, compounding intravenous medications, and the distribution of medications to patients.
