Subject: Contacting NSS/PKS - CHANGE

When contacting Nutrition Support and Pharmacokinetic (NSS/PKS), pharmacy has made a process change to simplify communication strategies. 

Instead of beeping the NSS/PKS pager (720-9644), please contact your unit-based pharmacist directly for any questions or concerns related to NSS/PKS activities. 

[Note: for enteral management concerns, please continue to contact your dietitian.]

Please remove any references posted in your area for the NSS/PKS pager.  As of August 1st, this pager will be turned off. 
HUC: please remove any references you have posted for the NSS/PKS pager. 

For questions or concerns, send me a message.  Thanks.

Jerry Robinson, Pharm.D., BCPS
Clinical Specialist STICU/Co-Chairperson, Medication Safety Committee
