• Reviewed physician orders via QS1 and Docutrak for appropriate action, dosage, potential interactions and administration for over 50 long term care facilities. • Consulted on initial and interim Drug Regimen Reviews daily on patients per CMS guidelines. Ensured proper indications for medications prescribed, reduced poly-pharmacy in elderly patients, and suggested therapy changes based on drug interactions. • Developed a therapeutic guideline form on specific drug classes to help reduce cost at the long-term care facilities. Contacted nurses and physicians on prescribed medications on these forms to have these medications changed. This allowed for a 20% to 30% decrease in drug costs for the facilities and patients. • Collaborated with billing department to make therapeutic changes on medications not covered by insurance. • Performed reviews of medications due to change in conditions, such as falls and skin tears on nursing home patients per CMS guidelines. Used RXpertise to send recommendations about drug therapy changes to physicians. • Supervised and compounded IVs, creams, and gels. Show less
