With our New Brown Bag Review service these harmful errors and misunderstandings that potentially have significant consequences and are sometimes overlooked by a healthcare professional, will be identified.
Some reasons for this are patient's medical records are out of date, chances are the patient is taking their medicines incorrectly, or the patient forgets to mention supplements/herbal remedies they are taking which may harmfully interact with their prescribed medicines, or (most commonly) the patient is not being treated for his condition as prescribed.
Our experienced and professional staff at Budget Pharmacy can now allocate more time to counsel you with your existing medicines and supplements - a key factor underpinning the risk-free provision of our ongoing prescription and medication refill services and ensuring our residents' continued well-being.
Budget Pharmacy systems provide our staff with an accurate, comprehensive picture of every prescription that is being filled in-house, sent out, and prescriptions that have been received but not yet dispensed.
The process of medication reconciliation is conducted using our patients'/residents medical records; our Physicians and Pharmacists rely on the accuracy and currency of these records and if it's outdated or missing information, errors and misunderstandings creep in and the health risks increase.
This is a particular problem with residents of Care Homes who move frequently between different care homes, or those in Hospitals, Residential Care, or Mental Health Care settings, but worry no more, since our staff at Budget Pharmacy are experts in identifying and resolving these issues.
Another factor is vitamins and supplements. No matter how they are advertised or widely sold in stores, they are also capable of harmful interaction with your prescribed medications, and because vitamins and supplements are sold over the counter, we usually do not realize their potential for harm, which is a false sense of security created by the availability of these products without a prescription.
A major issue that arises with our elderly patients is the lack of certainty that they are taking their medication correctly. Medical records-based reconciliation cannot check if the patients are taking their medication in the correct way and time. In addition, nonface-to-face reviews are likely to miss opportunities to reduce the levels of medication intake. This could be particularly important for patients with high levels of antipsychotic drugs, for example, where even small reductions can have significant benefits.
Budget Pharmacy's enhanced solution actively confronts this problem, by guaranteeing to schedule your personal consultations for our in-depth Patient Brown Bag Medication Evaluations.
With 1 in 7 Americans, aged 71+ having some sort of dementia-related issue, ensuring their prescription regimes are up to date and correct is one way our experts at Budget Pharmacy can help these seniors and their caregivers in the Spring community in the coming years.
With the problem likely exacerbating going forward, as the number of people aged 65+ grows, so does their need for care, and that need is expected to grow more rapidly than the supply of personal assistants. The population aged 65+ is forecast to double in 20 years, reaching 80 million in 2040. Of those, adults 85 and older, the group most often needing help, will nearly quadruple by 2040.
