I am aware of a small hospital pharmacy, about 139 beds concerning behavioral health.
How common is it for pharmacists to do all the order/entry? Some hospitals seem to have hundreds of orders a day, not just for admits but for patients on the floor, with no physician order entry. I have never heard of so much order entry in a shift for one two techs, much less one pharmacist. How does one get that much order entry (sometimes over 400 scripts per day) done in addition to the regular responsibilities?
