Formulary Design and Management

Each patient’s unique condition requires highly precise and accurate medication to effectively treat symptoms and provide relief. Our team of clinical pharmacists work with hospices to ensure each patient receives the right medication, at the right dose, and at the right time.

A team of experienced pharmacists carefully review each patient’s medication record and offer insight on optimizing therapy, monitor drug-to-drug interactions, and work to avoid contraindications.

Doctors of terminally-ill patients often prescribe a plethora of medications that may counteract one another. Select pharmacists always carefully review all prescriptions and dosing instructions and a patient’s medical history before creating a customized list of medications that will avoid harm and offer maximum benefit.
