Spinal Cord Injury Center Design Guide

SCI Outpatient Pharmacy 35
Function:
Pharmacy Service is responsible for the controlled dispensing of all drugs required in the delivery of
health care. Service includes the total drug utilization review process.
The pharmacy should be easily accessible from the main entrance to the SCI Center to facilitate loading
bulk medical supplies and prosthetics into the patient's car.
The pharmacy should be designed according to the "open pharmacy" or "pharmacy without walls"
concept using modular cabinetry. Under this concept pharmacists enter all new prescriptions and interact
with patients. To accommodate this concept, the administrative area should be contiguous to the
consultation and prescription receiving areas.
The movement of bulk material to supply the pharmacy should (if possible) be separated from patient
traffic flow.
