The Nebraska Medical Center strives to promote safe medication practices and advance
the quality of care for patients. In concert with these efforts, we offer remote
pharmaceutical care to critical access and community hospitals in the region. The
Nebraska Medical Center offers medication therapy management, remote order review,
verification or entry in rural hospitals where the current population may be underserved
with respect to pharmaceutical care and safe medication practices.
The remote service is staffed 24 hours each day, every day of the year by experienced
and knowledgeable hospital pharmacists whose primary responsibility is to provide
service to remote sites.
