Critical care units, such as Coronary Care Units (CCU) and Progressive Care Units (PCU), are patient care areas with complex and rapidly changing needs. Services that enable health care providers in these areas to function more quickly and accurately are constantly sought. A 3 week pilot project was organized in a pharmacy department to evaluate the potential impact of a decentralized pharmacy service in the CCU and PCU areas. Distributive and clinical pharmacy services were provided by two pharmacists during the study. Nursing evaluated the study period as being highly favorable, and missing doses decreased by 57%. The departments of nursing and administration responded to this pilot by funding positions from nursing toward the establishment of a permanent decentralized pharmacy in these units.
重症监护病房，如冠心病监护病房（CCU）和进阶护理病房（PCU），是患者护理区域，有着复杂且迅速变化的需求。人们一直在寻求能让这些区域的医护人员更快、更准确地开展工作的服务。在一个药房部门组织了一个为期3周的试点项目，以评估分散式药房服务在CCU和PCU区域的潜在影响。在研究期间，两名药剂师提供了分发和临床药房服务。护理人员认为研究期间非常有利，漏服剂量减少了57%。护理和行政部门对该试点做出的回应是，从护理部门提供资金岗位，以便在这些病房设立永久性的分散式药房。
