Working Effectively with Consultants

Abstract

The Director's Forum series is written and edited by Michael Sanborn and Robert Weber and is designed to guide pharmacy leaders in establishing patient-centered services in hospitals and health systems. Another specific goal of this column is to address many of the key challenges that pharmacy directors currently face, while providing information to foster growth in pharmacy leadership and patient safety. This Director's Forum article focuses on the use of consultants in pharmacies and in health care. This is a unique topic that most directors will address at one time or another during their careers.
