[Madeline Camejo, Chief Pharmacy Officer] I think what we're
developing here is very unique,
and you won't find anywhere else.
Just the creation of the
Clinical Pharmacy Enterprise,
is something very unique that
no one in South Florida has.
It's a forward-thinking organization
that has invested in creating
a Pharmacy Corporate Division
that will help integrate Pharmacy Services
as a key major strategy
throughout the organization.
[Ana Lopez-Samblas, Director Pharmacy] The clinical enterprise comprises,
not only of the in-patient
hospital pharmacy,
but also the transition of
care into an ambulatory branch
that is brand new to Baptist Health.
The vision for the
clinical pharmacy enterprise
is really to have pharmacists
and pharmacy techs
practice at a top of their license.
[Jorge Garcia, AVP Pharmacy Oncology Services] The pharmacists play a critical role
making sure the patients understand
how to safely take these medications,
and they also play a role
monitoring those patients
to ensure they can tolerate
the treatments appropriately.
[Madeline Camejo] For me, it is creating clinical ladders
for our pharmacists and building
new non-traditional roles
for the pharmacy.
The growth and the expansion
of pharmacy and pharmacy
services will lead to the fact
that we will need a lot of
these high caliber roles
to be able to integrate into
what we're trying to accomplish.
[Micheal Decoske, AVP Ambulatory Pharmacy Services] There's opportunities for pharmacists
with various skillsets,
no matter what a pharmacist
is interested in doing,
there's the opportunity to do it
here within Baptist Health South Florida.
And we're poised across South Florida
to be able to grow and mold
as a person's professional
and personal life
grow and evolve.
[Robert Kraljevich, Director Graduate Pharmacy Education] You'll find that we're gonna make sure
that our pharmacists are gonna practice
at the top of their licenses,
put them out in patient care,
get them away from the
dispensing activities
or that would be more of a minimal role
and get them out on the floors
interacting with the
practitioners, doing rounds,
precepting students and residents,
and put them through the staff development
that they deserve and need to
be the best that they can be.
[Jorge Garcia] With experience and credentials,
the pharmacists now have a clearer path
towards their transitions in their career.
All the way from a staff
pharmacist to a clinical pharmacist
to a specialist one or a specialist two
to administrative roles, like
being a clinical coordinator
or a clinical manager.
[Halena Leah Marcelin, Director, Pharmacy Business Affairs] Just like we're developing a clinical career ladder,
we're developing one for the
technicians and pharmacists
in this non clinical perspective.
And so, once you've
reached the tech three,
or the epitome of the technician ladder
that they're creating,
then you'll transition over to my team.
And from there,
you could be a pharmacy
reimbursement specialist,
which would be a technician role.
Special pharmacy programs coordinator,
340b analysts all the way up
through our management
level positions that,
typically but not
necessarily all of the time,
require you to be a pharmacist.
[Madeline Camejo] From Monroe County all
the way to West Palm Beach,
the growth in just pharmacy
is gonna be very big.
Continuous integration of that service
is gonna be wonderful, in the sense
that there'll be a lot
of great opportunities
for pharmacists and technicians
who wanna come on board
with an exceptional organization
that's always forward-thinking.
