Outlook for 2023

Pharmacists – Crystal Huang and Hung Phan

Our goal for 2023 is to increase the number of permanent staff back to pre-COVID levels, so we can better serve the Muckleshoot Tribe. We will continue to offer high quality comprehensive pharmacy services and work collaboratively with all departments to keep the community safe and healthy.

Highlights of 2022

  • We installed the hardware (signature pads and scanners) which enable us to turn on the “point of sale” in QS1 software program to improve accuracy when releasing prescriptions to patients
  • We provide mail out services for patients who cannot get to the pharmacy in person
  • We upgraded to a new “Fillmaster” digital reconstitute system, which includes 6-stage reverse osmosis water filtration system and enables automated reconstitution of liquid antibiotics, which improved accuracy and efficiency
  • Currently working on converting to daily automatic replenishment of inventory to improve inventory controls and customer services. This decreases wait times for patients who need medications that may be low or out of stock.
  • Actively recruiting staff to build a strong pharmacy team, one valuable member at a time.
  • Total script count increased by almost 3000 prescriptions in 2022 compared to 2021
  • Improved workflow to streamline “Mediset” preparation to preventing patient safety errors
Products that improve quality of life in our patients, aiding in diabetic self-management and weight loss.
