Applying total quality management to a pharmacist intervention program.
Intervention documentation continues to be a valuable tool for both documenting pharmacist impact on patient care and justifying new clinical pharmacy services. Utilizing TQM principles to improve documentation has yielded many long-term benefits. Not only has intervention documentation been streamlined, but pharmacists at the staff level were an integral part of the changes that were made and the improvements to come. Their familiarity with the pitfalls of the former system provided solutions to the problems that might have been overlooked without their input.
