Medication Reconciliation
Complex therapeutics are a reality of the times we live in. There are about 10,000 different medications approved for use in practice in the USA today. The ongoing challenge most patients, nurses, physicians and pharmacists face is assuring an adequate, useful med history is available in the emergency department (ED) and upon hospital admission. Our organizations, (leaders in clinical pharmacy, drug utilization and telepharmacy services) now offer a unique service that can assist you in defining the quality of your med history practices and in caring safely for your patients.
To provide this vital service to our colleagues in hospitals and healthcare organizations, we have combined:
-
The knowledge and expertise of our licensed, clinical pharmacists and telehealth practitioners
-
The unparalleled, real-time outpatient, electronic prescription histories for over 100 million patients available via a national database.
Acute Med Review ServiceSM assists clinicians and Q/A professionals in monitoring the patient's med histories generated in the ED and upon hospital admission for medication errors of omission and commission. In the event no history is available from the patient, the service often can provide essential medication histories unavailable via conventional sources to you and your medical and hospital staff. For many patients, the provision of our outpatient medication histories may favorably alter their treatment course and health outcomes.
One of the simplest ways to gain value from this service is to request a one-time or periodic expert audit of your ED and/or admission med history practices. Our Acute Med Review Service is designed to support your practice needs on a daily basis as well, for which we offer longer-term arrangements. We invite you to explore with us the role Acute Med Review Service can play in your practice and the lives of your patients by contacting us toll-free at (888) 745-0477 or by calling (413) 564-8100. |
