Billion Dollar Pharmacist Intervention Challenge Update: $351 Million Documented 

Pharmacists log more than 5 million interventions in the first half of 2010

Bellevue, Wash. – Pharmacy OneSource, Inc., software as a service provider to more than 1,300 hospitals in the United States, announced its hospital pharmacy clients have documented more than $351 million in pharmacist interventions for the first six months toward the challenge goal of $1 billion in pharmacist interventions in 2010.

The leading pharmacist intervention teams for 2010 with the highest number of clinical interventions and dollars saved per hospital bed will receive a traveling trophy and unrestricted education grant from Pharmacy OneSource at the end of the year.

Pharmacy OneSource is proud to partner with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) in support of the organization's new Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI). For every $100 million of documented savings due to clinical pharmacy interventions across all hospital clients, Pharmacy OneSource will donate to the PPMI at structured milestones up to $50,000.

Quantifi, Pharmacy OneSource's clinical communication and documentation tool, is used by more than 50,000 healthcare professionals who documented $529 million in savings through interventions in 2009. Quantifi captures both the actual dollar savings via reduction in supply costs and potential costs savings through risk avoidance.

With more than 1,000 hospitals across the world having used Quantifi to capture more than 34 million clinical interventions, adverse events and adverse drug reactions, Pharmacy OneSource can readily demonstrate the value of pharmacy services to hospital leaders.
