  However, Bernie Albertini, pharmacist for both Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling and East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, said better communication between patient, doctor and pharmacist is key to better understanding one's medications.
  
  "We're health care professionals.We're part of the health care team," Albertini said."People should know what they're taking and the possible side effects."
  
  He said a good relationship with one's pharmacist is important.People should not hesitate to ask them questions about all aspects of a medication.
  
  "If you don't know your pharmacist's first name, you probably shouldn't be going to that pharmacy," Albertini noted.
  
  Most pharmacies keep track of patients' medications electronically.Software used there can determine whether a new medication will negatively interact with an old medication.However, this technology is only useful if the patient uses the same pharmacy consistently, Albertini said.A pharmacist is often a patient's first line of defense in staying healthy and informed, he said.

  Albertini said at OVMC, the newly implemented Pyxis machines are a big step toward the possible change-over to using a bar-coded system, and Coram said Wheeling Hospital has been using the Pyxis technology for several years.
  ...
  Albertini said the bar-coding system has few drawbacks, and although there is still a potential for the wrong drug to be entered into a chart or the wrong dose, there is a good likelihood that any mistakes in the system will be caught quickly.
  ...
  Albertini said he believes that the FDA's rule on the bar coding of drugs currently only relates to drug manufacturers, but it could lead to similar regulations on whether hospitals use the reading systems as well.
