Medication Reconciliation
Medication reconciliation is particularly important for those individuals who have been through transitions of care. Whether it is a hospital discharge, or an admission to a nursing home, it is of utmost importance to get the most accurate list of current medication. For example, a person may be admitted to a hospital, on simvastatin 20mg , the institution’s policy may be to change the medication to atorvastatin 10mg. Upon discharge, the individual is continued on atorvastatin and simvastatin, unwittingly. A medication reconciliation will provide a systematic review of the patient's medication for duplication, inappropriate frequency, and inappropriate use. Such errors can be reported to the prescriber, in order to adjust the medication regimen.
Medication Therapy Management (MTM)
Anyone taking multiple medications would benefit from a medication therapy management (MTM) session. MTM is a service in which the pharmacist performs a medication therapy review(MTR), and asses for inappropriate medication use, drug interactions, unwanted side effects, and potential cost savings. At the end of the session, the patient is provided a personal medication record (PMR), which is a list of their medications. In addition, the patient will be given a medication action plan (MAP). The MAP is a patient specific medication related plan for the patient, that helps them with their goals, and provides guidance. Afterwards, the pharmacist contacts the provider regarding any medication related problems, and then performs a follows-up with the patient.
Disease State Management Services
Individuals are assessed based on evidence based guidelines for the particular disease state. The goal is to improve health outcomes, and reduce associated complications. Disease state management empowers the patient with a better understanding of how to manage their chronic health conditions.
