CPA MedNovations
Of the thousands of hospitals in the United States, some have large enough staffs to provide round-the-clock pharmacist coverage. More common, however, are those smaller and mid-sized healthcare facilities that lack the resources to support 24x7 coverage. The increased complexity of drug regimens coupled with pharmacist shortages at the facilities often result in higher costs, lower medical quality and heightened exposure to medication errors and adverse drug events.
Established in 2001, CPA MedNovations, a service of Clinical Pharmacy Associates, was a pioneer in the development and advancement of the practice of after-hours Telepharmacy and today is a nationally recognized leader in the category. The company provides hospitals and other healthcare institutions with a cost-effective way to address the growing demand for clinical pharmacists on a round-the-clock basis.
