Home Medicines Reviews
Manning River Pharmacy is registered with Medicare Australia as a pharmacy able to co-ordinate a home medicines review.
A home medicines review involves the consumer's GP, preferred community pharmacy and in some cases other relevant members of the healthcare team, such as nurses in community practice or carers.
In cooperation with the individual's general practitioner, the pharmacist visits the individual at home, reviews their medicine regimen, and provides the general practitioner with a report. The general practitioner and consumer then agree on a medicine management plan.
The objectives are to:
Achieve safe, effective, and appropriate use of medicines by detecting and addressing medicine-related problems that interfere with desired patient outcomes.
Improve the patient's quality of life and health outcomes using a best practice approach, that involves cooperation between the general practitioner, pharmacist, other relevant health professionals and the patient (and where appropriate, their carer).
Improve the patient's, and health professional’s knowledge and understanding about medicines.
Facilitate cooperative working relationships between members of the health care team in the interests of patient health and wellbeing.
