Pharmaceutical Services

For each facility we serve, CHM develops a complete pharmaceutical system. CHM contracts with a national pharmacy that provides services only to correctional facilities. Because of the number of inmates CHM serves, our pricing is extremely competitive.

CHM is dedicated to providing the highest level of pharmaceutical management to our facilities. Based on facility size, we have a consultant pharmacist who conducts onsite audit and perform a quality assurance review. The consultant pharmacist will ensure that all drugs are stored under proper conditions and will remove or replace all expired medications. As necessary, the consultant pharmacist will conduct pharmacy and therapeutic committee meetings and will provide appropriate in-service training to the healthcare staff.

CHM provides medication charts, medications in individually-labeled blister-pack form and a monthly comprehensive pharmacy utilization report for each facility we serve.

CHM has established a preferred medication list used in the facilities we support. Criteria utilized for inclusion of medications to the preferred medication list are based on evidence based effectiveness, safety and cost of the medication. CHM also has developed policies and procedures for use of any products that are not on the preferred medication list.
