Naresuan University Hospital Ambulatory Care

The Naresuan University Hospital is a 320 bed hospital that sees about 950 patients per day. The faculty pharmacist KP who specializes in oncology gave a few students a tour of her ward. The newest addition to the hospital is the oncology unit which has 10 beds and there were six patients receiving infusions. The process for ordering oncology medicine is very similar to that of the United States as there is an order set from the doctor of standard chemo regimens. A major difference was that the order sets at NU are hand written and all the patients medical records are kept in a book opposed to electronic storage. The chemo regimens are very similar to that of the USA as well as the length of therapy. NU hospital has 27 pharmacists and 34 pharmacy technicians between the four wards of the facility.
