Medication Regimen Review & Compliance Audits
Our team of expert pharmacists conducts comprehensive chart audits to rigorously evaluate medication regimens, ensuring precision in dosing, eliminating unnecessary medications, assessing potential drug interactions, and identifying duplicative therapies. We also provide psychotropic medication oversight, continuously monitoring usage to promote the judicious and appropriate administration of these drugs.
