The Center for Medication Management, located at Blanchard Valley Hospital, offers patients a complete disease management program.
Patients are taught take their medications correctly and at the appropriate times reducing the chance of adverse reactions and side effects.
Each patient works one-on-one with a clinician to develop a program based on their needs. They also receive information about their disease, learn how medication affects their recovery, and have their dosages monitored/adjusted in collaboration with their physician. After each visit to the CMM, the patient's primary physician receives a summary report includes current doses, progress notes and laboratory test values.
• Blood draws for select medication monitoring
• Monitoring and adjustment of warfarin (Coumadin©) dosages
• Cholesterol management
• Drug therapy management
• Pill box filling
• Medication compliance and refill reminders
• Monitoring/screening of adverse drug reactions, side effects, and potential medication errors
The clinic is staffed by a registered pharmacist that has a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, residency and/or externship experience in anticoagulation therapy, and advanced training in disease state management.
