What work does a long term care pharmacist do?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: The role of pharmacist in the long term care setting is different than working in a store. Each long term care facility has a contract with the pharmacy company and most of the rx plan are restricted in order to cut down the cost and better safety profile. Therefore the pharmacist has to follow the protocol and communicates to physicians for options (ie to avoid rx interactions, substitution, etc).
