WVU Medicine Specialty Pharmacy

As part of an ongoing relationship with the Hospital, IKM was retained to coordinate and design a new specialty pharmacy for WVU Medicine. The Hospital enlisted market analysts to confirm the viability of expanded components such as injection training, individual counseling, group education and other outpatient-based services. Once the program was complete, the IKM design team proceeded engaging administrators, key stakeholders and other user groups to design a new facility focusing on efficient flow patterns. Those flow patterns analyzed product flow into and out of the facility as well as staff flow in formulating, packaging and quality control of the product. The new 12,500 square foot facility provides all of the functionality the Hospital identified as essential as well as allows for various levels of security related to the product flow of regulated substances.
