When I was hired here February, 2010, there was no Pharmacy Buyer. You just wrote down what you thought was needed, and someone would order the next day. The first thing I did was creating a buyer position, and put my best technician into this role. Since that time, we have implemented CardinalASSIST, streamlined our Pyxis® inventories, and keep a daily log of what is ordered to match against out budget numbers for the month. We now are consistently under budget unless we have a big month, and then we are over budget for our Revenue as well as our drug expense.
Name of Facility: Florida Hospital Heartland Division
