To perform annual physical inventory counts of pharmaceuticals in all pharmacy areas (inpatient pharmacy, satellite pharmacies, outpatient pharmacy, pharmacy warehouse and storeroom) of the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFGH). This includes physical counts of pharmaceuticals and generation of detailed price reports by specific pharmaceutical item and location.
Scope Change:

**** ADDITIONAL SCOPE FOR 2017 --- To modify the current PSC to include access to a web based application which is an automated, web-based kit checking technology will allow the Pharmacy Department at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital to safely and effectively manage kit/tray ( “kits”) inventory. Kits provided by the department currently include: adult, pediatric, and neonatal crash cart trays, anesthesia/OR trays, anesthesia/OB trays, and intubation kits. These kits allow providers to have ready access to critical, life-saving medications when a patient is in cardiac arrest, undergoing a procedure in the operating room, or needing intubation to protect their airway in a variety of circumstances. Accuracy in filling these kits is essential, as the providers are treating the most emergent patient populations at these times and a medication error would most likely be fatal. *** ADDITIONAL SCOPE FOR 2022 --- For the procurement of additional web-based applications that track pharmaceutical recalls and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance which regulates and monitor the manufacturing of compounded drugs.
