The justification, establishment, and operation of an oncology satellite pharmacy in a 545-bed university teaching hospital are described. The oncology satellite pharmacy was established because of concerns expressed by nurses about the potential health hazards of handling cytotoxic drug products. The satellite pharmacy, which is located near the three floors that serve the majority of the adult and pediatric oncology inpatients, is responsible for preparing all injectable cytotoxic drug products used in the institution; this includes inpatient and outpatient use. The satellite is staffed by one full-time equivalent (FTE) supervisor, two FTE staff pharmacists, and 1.4 FTE technicians. It is open nine hours a day during the week and four hours a day on weekends. Pharmacists working in the satellite prepare all cytotoxic drug products in a laminar-flow biological safety cabinet. The pharmacists also provide clinical services for oncology patients, such as monitoring drug therapy and providing drug information to patients, nurses, and physicians. The implementation of an oncology satellite has allowed this pharmacy department to expand its services and decrease the potential risks to personnel involved in preparing and administering cytotoxic drug products.
本文描述了一家拥有545张床位的大学教学医院中肿瘤卫星药房的设立依据、建立过程及运营情况。设立肿瘤卫星药房是因为护士们对处理细胞毒性药品可能存在的健康危害表示担忧。卫星药房位于为大多数成人和儿科肿瘤住院患者服务的三层附近，负责配制该机构使用的所有注射用细胞毒性药品，包括住院和门诊使用的药品。卫星药房配备一名全职等效（FTE）主管、两名FTE药剂师和1.4名FTE技术员。周一至周五每天开放9小时，周末每天开放4小时。在卫星药房工作的药剂师在层流生物安全柜中配制所有细胞毒性药品。药剂师还为肿瘤患者提供临床服务，如监测药物治疗情况并向患者、护士和医生提供药物信息。肿瘤卫星药房的设立使该药房部门能够扩大服务范围，并降低参与配制和管理细胞毒性药品人员面临的潜在风险。
