Hospital medication management, examined from inside the institution.
West Robinson Group advises hospitals, health authorities, and boards on medication management, the standard both Accreditation Canada and the Ontario College of Pharmacists use to judge how well a pharmacy department is actually run. Every engagement is led by someone who has run the department, sat on the board, and stood on both sides of the survey.

Recorded outcomes, departments and engagements led directly
Practice areas
Engagements are scoped narrowly, to the medication management problems that determine whether a pharmacy department passes survey, holds up under audit, or simply runs. Roger scopes and leads every engagement personally, and brings in vetted specialist consultants when a platform, an EHR implementation especially, calls for expertise beyond his own.

Roger Ma leads West Robinson Group's engagements directly. He is Director of Pharmacy at two community hospitals in Ontario, where he manages medication management across acute care operations, controlled substance policy, formulary decisions, and clinical informatics, for departments that answer to the same accreditation and College standards his clients face. His consulting work extends into connected health record and EHR pharmacy module reviews for hospital systems preparing for go-live.
His board experience spans nephrology, geriatric care, long-term care, mental health outreach, Ontario Health Teams, and the United Nations Association of Canada, Toronto. That range puts him on both sides of the table, as the operator who has to make a policy work on the floor, and as the board member who has to be satisfied it will hold up under scrutiny.
He holds a PharmD from the University of Toronto and is completing an MBA at the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, layered on nineteen completed certificate programs in data science, financial strategy, and healthcare business. That training is what sits behind the EHR and connected health record advisory work, where reviewing a pharmacy module build takes data fluency alongside clinical judgment.
How engagements run
Four commitments that hold across every engagement, regardless of scope.
Every recommendation is tested against what a working pharmacy department can actually implement, because the person writing it runs one.
Documentation is designed to hold up under an accreditation surveyor's questions, not just to look complete on a shelf.
Compliance findings are sensitive. Client identities and engagement details stay out of public materials, which is why the outcomes above are described without naming who they belong to.
Roger scopes and leads every engagement. When a rollout calls for expertise outside pharmacy, he brings in a vetted specialist from his network and stays the single point of accountability throughout.
