Dr. Majid R. Tanas
PharmD, MHA, MS, FASHP, Vice President of Pharmacy & Chief Pharmacy Officer for Legacy Health. | USA

Dr. Majid R. Tanas
PharmD, MHA, MS, FASHP, Vice President of Pharmacy & Chief Pharmacy Officer for Legacy Health.
Dr. Tanas has sought to help others in the profession by mentoring, speaking at conferences, and elevating pharmacy practice at the state and national level. In 2009, Dr. Tanas helped lead the remediation of Oregon Board of Pharmacy findings of non-compliance for Remote IV Dispensing. Through this effort, statutes for Oregon were developed to support Remote IV Dispensing - many of which became a model for others to reference. By this endeavor, oncology-trained Health-System Pharmacists remotely managed Pharmacy Technicians in cleanrooms across 100 miles of freeway. This model allowed Pharmacy Technicians to practice at a higher level as they were able to function independently. As a part of Specialty Pharmacy expansion within Oregon, Dr. Tanas spearheaded the Specialty Pharmacy team to expand critical specialty medications to Oregonians by achieving URAC accreditation, building a specialty program, and developing ambulatory practices to reach more patients. In 2015, The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center had significant FDA 483 findings in their cleanroom. This impact halted much of NIH-sponsored research. After a nationwide search, Dr. Tanas was selected to become the Chief of Pharmacy due to his cleanroom and remediation expertise. During his tenure, he established a team to address significant operational changes to modernize current regulatory practice standards, design the first Health-System cGMP compliant 503A cleanroom, increase the department FTE by nearly double, and expand resources for research. In the midst of a challenging transition, Dr. Tanas made the difficult decision to issue a nationwide recall for medications due to quality concerns. His leadership ultimately led the NIH Clinical Center to initiate a medication safety and quality program and instituted daily organization-wide safety huddles. Currently, Dr. Tanas leads a multi-hospital health system at Legacy Health Pharmacy Services to elevate their cleanroom and regulatory practices. He has directed remodels at five hospitals across the region, upgraded to automated dispensing cabinets for safer medication delivery systems, established a technician-led compliance team for diversion prevention, achieved URAC/ACHC Specialty Pharmacy accreditation, and expanded 340b outpatient clinic services. During the pandemic, his leadership and collaboration with adjoining health systems across the region resulted in the nation's fifth-largest mass vaccination site. Throughout his career, Dr. Tanas has exemplified a commitment to patient safety and compliance by creating unique systems to deliver pharmaceutical care. He continues to give back to the pharmacy community by mentoring student and resident pharmacists to challenge their paradigm around patient care. In addition, he creates opportunities for both technicians and pharmacists to advance their careers in unique care models.
