I have served 3 years as a pharmacy inspector in the enforcement division of the Virginia Department of Health Professions. Prior to my role as an inspector, I spent 2 1/2 years as a pharmacymanager/clinical pharmacist at a small hospital in Virginia and 7 1/2 years as a pharmacymanager at an independent retail pharmacy in Virginia.
Such is the transformative journey of Dr. Jorie Kreitman, a dedicated pharmacymanager at Walgreens. Early Inspiration Dr. Kreitman’s passion for pharmacy ignited at the tender age of 7 when she was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), a condition characterized by irregularly fast or erratic heartbeats.
Each day my pharmacy sent a 24-hour supply of medication to each patient. The pharmacytechnicians would generate a computerized list of each patient’s drugs based on what the physician prescribed. Therefore, the hospital permitted my pharmacy to hire two new full-time employees. My hospital was happy with the results.
I participated in many meetings as a hospital pharmacymanager. Every month, my pharmacy department held a staff meeting. At these meetings, both my pharmacists and pharmacytechnicians expressed what was right and wrong about the department and the hospital. Other times, everyone just vented.
This was even before I became a pharmacymanager. He would report me to the nursing supervisor since she was the most senior manager in the building at that hour. I have been in hospital pharmacymanagement for over thirty years. She also dropped off a new prescription which the pharmacy kept on file.
Two reasons: 1) Management thought that employees liked or needed feedback about how well they were performing their job, and 2) evaluations were usually tied to some kind of merit increase. I wrote and gave the greatest number of evaluations when I was a pharmacymanager in my second hospital. Staff longevity. Unattainable?
