Working collaboratively with caregivers, a patient’s individualized medication management program overseen by a pharmacist helps to more readily preempt – and prevent – avoidable readmissions, potentially life threatening drug interactions, and other complications like patient falls.
The average facility resident takes multiple prescription medications each day. Medications for residents change frequently, particularly within 30 days of admission to a facility, and any time a resident undergoes a significant change in condition. With a growing, dynamic healthcare marketplace rightly placing a premium on quality care, positive outcomes, reduced hospital readmissions and more efficient use of taxpayer dollars, pharmacies are an increasingly significant ‘value-added’ component in the broad continuum of care.
