Pharmacy

As part of the healthcare team, our hospital pharmacy provides a comprehensive range of quality pharmaceutical services. Patient safety and quality patient care are our top priorities. Board-certified clinical pharmacists, registered pharmacists, and dispensers constitute our team of highly qualified, well-trained professionals. We employ cutting-edge technology to simplify our clinical and distributive procedures.

Our pharmacists offer clinical services to support physicians and nurses, as well as to educate patients on the proper use of medication and devices.

Unit Dose Dispensing System

The two Hong Kong Adventist Hospitals are among the first in Hong Kong to implement the Unit Dose Dispensing system. Medications are dispensed and administered with bar code verification.  Patient safety is guaranteed by the sophisticated system.

State-of-the-art Technologies

We make the best use of automation and innovation to deliver timely and accurate dispensing services. State-of-the-art technologies are:

• Automated Dispensing Cabinet (Omnicell), which enhances the efficiency and accuracy of medication delivery;
• Automatic Tablet Dispensing & Packaging System (JVM), which significantly expedites the tablet dispensing process;
• First Databank as the clinical decision support tool, which provides comprehensive checking of drug-drug interactions and allergy contraindications;
• Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA) tool, which ensures the right drug to the right patient;
• Quantifi as a tool for clinical pharmacy intervention documentation, which provides a platform to document clinical pharmacy intervention in a systematic way and to ensure patient care continuity.

These technologies come together in exceptional synergy and render our pharmacy service unique among the private hospitals in Hong Kong.

Professional Medication Counseling for Out-patients

We advocate face-to-face individualized medication counseling for our patients and caregivers to achieve better medication compliance.
