Numerous models are employed for medication distribution and pharmacy services management in correctional facilities. Since 2003, the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy and the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) have collaborated on a pharmacy management program designed to better integrate medical care, improve medication utilization, and reduce pharmaceuticals costs. The program introduced staff education, waste-reduction strategies, treatment protocols, and a responsive formulary system. RIDOC pharmaceutical expenditures grew at a rate of approximately 1.5% Per Inmate Per Year from 2003 to 2009, considerably below the annual pharmaceutical inflation rate. Analyses of projected and actual drug spending indicate that RIDOC benefited from savings of almost $5 million during this period. This innovative approach to pharmacy management addressed many pharmaceutical care issues that had challenged RIDOC while providing educational opportunities for doctor of pharmacy students in this practice setting.
惩教机构采用了多种模式进行药物分发和药房服务管理。自2003年以来，罗德岛大学药学院与罗德岛惩教部（RIDOC）合作开展了一项药房管理项目，旨在更好地整合医疗护理、提高药物利用率并降低药品成本。该项目引入了员工教育、减少浪费策略、治疗方案以及一个响应式处方集系统。从2003年到2009年，RIDOC的药品支出以每年每位囚犯约1.5%的速度增长，大大低于年度药品通货膨胀率。对预计和实际药品支出的分析表明，在此期间RIDOC节省了近500万美元。这种创新的药房管理方法解决了许多困扰RIDOC的药物护理问题，同时为药学专业学生在这种实践环境中提供了教育机会。
