Order Description
Part A
A medication management review may be defined as a systematic, comprehensive review of a patient’s medication regimen on a continuing basis with a view to optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
To conduct a MMR, the pharmacist works in collaboration with other members of the healthcare team and the patient to collate detailed information about the patient’s medication use and provides the appropriate advice and information to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes for the patient while maintaining quality and safe use of medicines principles.
