Description

Grand River Hospital is interested in establishing a contractual agreement for the replacement of a TPN Compounder used in the Pharmacy Department. Vendors should be advised that Grand River Hospital intends to use this RFP process to establish standardization of the type of equipment sought under this RFP.

The scope of this RFP includes one TPN Compounder for the inpatient pharmacy at the KW site.

Pharmacy Services at GRH are comprised of four areas:

Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) site pharmacy
Freeport (FP) site pharmacy
Regional Cancer Clinic pharmacy (outpatient chemo satellite)
Health Care Centre pharmacy (retail pharmacy)

The pharmacy department is open 0730-2130 h (KW site) and 0800-1700 h (FP site) Monday-Friday, 0730-1700 (KW site) and 0830-1630 h (FP site) on weekends and stat holidays. Our current drug distribution system is a combination of 24-hour unit dose cart fill with the majority of medications being stocked in automated dispensing cabinets for first doses, narcotics and “prns”. Dispensing is done from the KW site and sent via courier to the FP site twice daily during weekdays and once daily on the weekends. GRH has a pneumatic tube system at the KW site only. The pneumatic tube is utilized for delivering patient care orders to the inpatient pharmacy for dispensing and for delivering interim doses to the patient care units. All chemotherapy, including inpatients is admixed in the Cancer Clinic pharmacy. GRH has a Centralized Intravenous Admixture service for non-chemotherapy parenteral medications which is produced at the KW site. In the OR, the anaesthetists use doctor-specific locked narcotic tackle boxes in addition to the automated dispensing cabinet. After pharmacy hours supported by an on-call pharmacist.
