Providence is one of the largest providers of healthcare in the nation and operates over 50 hospitals and 1000 clinics across the western United States. Our region, the North Puget Sound, includes a large local hospital (Providence Regional Medical Center – Everett (PRMCE)) and ten PMG outpatient clinics located throughout Snohomish County, Washington. The PRMCE Ambulatory Pharmacy Department’s Medication & Anticoagulation Clinic provides clinical services to our communities and partners with PMG to increase patient access to these services.
The Providence Medical Building (PMB) in Monroe, Washington is located in a rural community about 30 miles northeast of Seattle and has a population of about 20,000. PMB Monroe contains PMG family and internal medicine primary care clinics, pediatrics, a walk-in clinic, a variety of specialty services, an integrated dispensing pharmacy (Credena Health Pharmacy Monroe), and the Medication & Anticoagulation Clinic.
The Medication & Anticoagulation Clinic utilizes collaborative practice
agreements and protocols to provide several clinical services that allow
pharmacists to work at the top of their license, including prescriptive
authority. Our clinic manages anticoagulation, type 2 diabetes, hepatitis
C treatment, lipids, osteoporosis, and dermatology, and also provides
transitions of care services, behavioral health department support, and
prescription refill authorizations. Credena Health Pharmacy Monroe offers
expanded patient services, including immunizations, adherence packaging,
medication therapy management services, and home medication delivery.
