The implementation of telepharmacy services in a multihospital health system expanded hours of service, improved the speed of processing of physician medication orders, and increased clinical pharmacy services and cost avoidance. Surveys of health care staff found that telepharmacy services were well received.

T h e eastern section is a c o n c r e t e structure stabilized by rockfill on its downstream side. E a c h section contains the intakes for eight of the 16 units and is separated from the other by a gate service area.

All power generation facilities are described, as are the principal characteristics of major electrical and mechanical equipment and auxiliaries. Particular emphasis is given to the study which was performed to determine optimum unit size, to the criteria used to match the generator capacity to a varying turbine output, and to the unit service and station service systems.
