Clinical Pharmacist
About The Position
The Clinical Pharmacist helps doctors and nurses safely prescribe and dispense medications so patients can recover from illness or injury. The pharmacist reviews prescriptions and medication orders for potential interactions, correct dosing, allergies, appropriate drug selection, and other concerns, and provides an expert safety check rather than relying solely on computer systems. The role requires learning new concepts and researching information in real time to provide solutions and deliver exceptional patient care. The pharmacist documents clinical activities and interventions, accurately enters or verifies orders in the computer system, labels and dispenses medications promptly, and checks medications prepared by other pharmacy personnel. The position also involves communicating drug information to patients and health professionals, resolving medication-related problems with the healthcare team, clarifying unclear orders with the licensed provider, and assisting providers with drug selection and therapeutic regimens. The pharmacist maintains the knowledge needed to provide clinical services for all age groups served, provides basic clinical services as required by policy and procedure, and maintains working knowledge of automated systems. The position is with Siena Hospital, a 326-bed acute care hospital in Henderson, Nevada, part of Dignity Health Nevada and CommonSpirit Health.
