Pharmacist

Run pharmacy, cold-chain and crash-cart checklists, look up admitted patients, and follow up failed items.

Pharmacist

Who this is for

You work in the hospital pharmacy, and your role is Pharmacist. CareList holds your recurring audits: the pharmacy department audit, medicine fridge temperatures, crash-cart checks and medication audits. You can look up admitted patients (allergies, diagnosis, care plan), but you can't change them. You don't see test orders.

Note: The pharmacist role is only offered to hospital companies.

What you see

Your manager assigns your checklists, usually as repeating tasks. Typical ones:

Your day

1. Opening. Open Tasks and run today's Medication Fridge & Cold Chain before you open the fridge for dispensing.
2. Rounds. Check the crash carts on the wards you cover. If a cart has a location QR, scan it to start the checklist there.
3. During the day. Look up patients when you check a prescription. Deal with any corrective actions assigned to you.
4. End of day. Make sure Tasks → Overdue is empty and every draft has been submitted.

Step by step

Run your cold-chain check

1. Go to Tasks and tap Start on Medication Fridge & Cold Chain.
2. Enter the temperature readings and answer each Pass/Fail item.
3. If an item fails (for example the temperature is out of range), fill in Describe the issue and take a Photo evidence picture of the thermometer. Use Annotate photo (draw on it) to circle the reading.
4. Tap Submit inspection. The failed item becomes a deviation for the quality team, and an automation rule may create a corrective action for you or the pharmacy in-charge (wf-failed-item-to-action).

Tip: Copy answers from last time fills in answers from the last check of the same checklist and location. It's handy for fixed details such as the fridge ID. Always re-read the temperatures.

Start a check by scanning a location QR

1. Tap Scan and point the camera at the QR code on the crash cart or pharmacy store.
2. Under Choose a checklist to run here, tap Start next to the checklist. If you already have an open one there, CareList opens it again instead of creating a second copy.

Look up a patient

1. Open Patients. Search by name, UHID or bed, or filter by ward.
2. Open the patient to see allergies, diagnosis, the attending doctor and their care-plan checklists. Opening a patient record is written to the audit log.

Close a corrective action

1. Go to More → Corrective Actions. Use Overdue or Active to find yours.
2. Open the action, set Status to Completed, write what you did in Completion note (required to complete), and add a Photo evidence picture if you have one.
3. Tap Save. The linked deviation is resolved automatically and the person who raised the action is told.

Report faulty equipment

If the pharmacy fridge or its data logger fails, scan its equipment QR. Then tap Report problem / new work order and tick Asset is down / out of service (wf-equipment-breakdown).
