Division in Action: Streamlining Pharmacy Communication

When doctors and pharmacists expressed frustration with difficulties in communicating with each other and the wasted time it caused, we developed a Personal Communication Profile which lets doctors share the best way for pharmacists to connect when they have questions or patient requests. Now in use throughout the Comox Valley, the profile is improving patient service and saving time for doctors and pharmacists alike.
