SafeScript Pharmacy Patient Adherence and Clinical Management Programs
SafeScript Pharmacy connects each patient with a dedicated patient coordinator who provides personal guidance and individualized support throughout the treatment process. The most important aspects for patients to be able to adhere to their treatment plan include:
Education regarding specific disease states and therapies
Clear communication between the patient, provider, and pharmacist.
A realistic evaluation of the patient’s knowledge and understanding of the treatment regimen.
A trusting relationship between the patient and healthcare providers.
A vital element to successfully helping patients achieve treatment compliance is conversation – getting to know each patient’s unique story. Each experience will reveal specific barriers that may inhibit some individuals from being able to fully adhere to their treatment plan. Certain things that can affect patient compliance include:
- Personal beliefs
- Overall attitude toward treatment
- Support from friends and family
- Access to 3 meals a day
- Access to transportation
- Challenges regarding emotional health, like depression
Patient consultations: SafeScript Pharmacy begins each relationship with an initial patient assessment. These assessments are patient-centered consultations that aim to empower and motivate patients to take control of their well-being. This time gives us the opportunity to get to know each patient and the specific support they’ll need throughout the treatment plan. Following the initial consultation, patients will then continue with monthly consultations with a member of our clinical team.
Patient education: SafeScript Pharmacy clinical pharmacists educate each patient on the condition as well as the specific treatment plan. Patients will also receive information regarding how to take their medication, for example with or without food, and will learn about possible side effects associated with the medication, tips on how to manage them, and when they should call their physician.
Followup and clinical management:SafeScript Pharmacy clinical team reach out to each patient with reminders regarding necessary lab work. We support physicians in collecting lab information and assessing patient adherence according to lab results.
