About Vidant Medical Center
Vidant Medical Center is a 900
bed Level-1 Trauma Center, regional referral hospital and is the flagship hospital for Vidant Health. We serve as the teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Vidant Medical Center provides acute, intermediate, rehabilitation and outpatient services to more than 1.4 million people in 29 counties. But it's in our work environment that you'll find our sense of family and closeness that permeates everything we do.
Pharmacy Highlights
Well established decentralized clinical services throughout the institution
Growing residency programs - PGY1 residency program and PGY2 in Critical Care
Integrated electronic health record (EPIC) with CPOE
Training site for schools of pharmacy in North Carolina
Local, state and national educational opportunities
While VMC Department of Pharmacy has enjoyed a progressive and comprehensive pharmacy presence for many years, we too were moved by the call from ASHP and other industry leaders to prepare for the future. In 2011, a focus group was formed to address the urgent need to proactively plan for changes in healthcare reform. Following a thorough evaluation of our current practices and systems we began the process of designing a new practice model that would support PPMI Summit consensus recommendations and meet the needs of our patients. Final plans are underway for a multiphase expansion and redefinition of pharmacy services. The new, world-class practice model expands on our existing framework of robust clinical services and provides for both decentralized unit-based and service-based clinical pharmacy services via a system of seven integrated teams. These teams, comprised of both pharmacists and technicians, are supported by a dynamic central pharmacy team responsible for production of sterile products, inpatient chemotherapy, cart fills, inventory and automation. Most drug distribution is automated, using Robot-RX, medical carousels and unit-based automated dispensing cabinets.
Vidant Medical Center is looking for a Transitional Care Pharmacist to become a part of our Pharmacy team.
