Recent literature reveals that each year 1.3 million patients are affected by medication errors. Healthcare professionals are dedicated and well-intentioned, but understaffed hospitals and clinics may not always have the time and resources to provide optimal patient care. Most patients are currently taking one or two different medications daily. Those with chronic and acute illness are often taking 5 to 20 different medications per day. Combine that with other factors of miscalculations, misinterpretation, and miscommunication and unintentional medication error multiplies drastically. Over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements can alter the efficacy of current medications thereby complicating your overall health.
Pharmacy Management assures patients that their medication regime is accurate and beneficial to their personal health care needs. Coordination by our nurses, physicians and pharmacists of all your prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements is vital to the total patient care plan. |
