Medications can relieve symptoms of your condition and improve your quality of life. At Tidelands Health, you’ll benefit from pharmacists who help you get the right dose of the correct medication at the proper time.
Promoting Your Health and Safety
We take your medication safety seriously. That's why we've assigned a clinical pharmacist to every medical service in our hospitals. That means you get safe, effective and cost-efficient medication during your hospital stay. A clinical pharmacist is available around the clock to help your health care team respond immediately if your medical needs change.
While staying at one of our hospitals, you’ll wear a wristband with a barcode that your caregiver will scan to access your medication information and help make sure you get the correct dose at the appropriate time. This technology – part of our bedside medication verification program – also helps ensure you’re prescribed medications that interact safely.
