Our consultant pharmacists focus primarily on daily Medication Regimen Review (MRR) for residents in long-term care facilities (LTCF).
We strive to ensure that all LTCF residents receive safe, optimal doses of their medication and that all State and Federal regulatory requirements are met by the facility.
This includes, but is not limited to, critical drug-drug interactions, incorrect dose or frequency of dose, and unnecessary duplication of drug therapy.
