Medication Regimen Review
When we approach a medication review, we look for all potential pitfalls that could lead to negative outcomes and increased medication burden, such as falls or unanticipated side effects.
- Reduce unnecessary medication use
- Minimize Fall Risk
- Minimize potential drug-drug and drug-disease state interactions
- Prevent Rehospitalization
Drug Destruction
Return, destroy and dispose. Punching pills out of blister packs can be a time consuming process. For most institutions this means manual labor. At Medication Managers we have innovative and efficient strategies to limit the amount of time it takes to complete this task.
- Reduce time
- Reduce Effort
- Improve efficiencies
Drug Return Programs
We do drug returns at the same time of drug destruction. Why is this important? Returning unused medications in a timely fashion ensures that your facility receives the credits they are due for unused medications.
- Improve bottom line
- Improve credit processing
- Reduced workload for staff

Drug Storage Management
One of the most common problems long term facilities face is how to properly store medications. Our program helps identify the right procedures needed for proper storage of medications and well as ensuring expired medications are dealt with appropriately.
