Partnership in health care is important in order to provide the best care to the patients, especially with the involvement of the patient, who is the center of this joint partnership. In the perspective of medicines management both professionals have the same goal of assuring that the treatment of patient containing pharmacology interventions is safe and effective. This essay will look at the main principles supporting supplementary prescribing, the clinical management plan, the partnership and the implementation of supplementary prescribing. Supplementary prescribing was introduced in 2003 for nurses, midwives and pharmacists which were then extended to optometrists and allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, podiatrists/chiropodists

Strategies are methods or plans that solves a problem; strategies are essential to resolve issues to be able to prevent them from happening again and it helps to do a better job. Computerized physician’s order, electronic medication administration record with a barcode and reviewing the practice standards from CNO such as medication and documentation are the suggested strategies to inhibit the incidents and the breached ethical values from occurring again. Moreover, using information technology is the first strategy to impede medication error in the long-term care facility where an ethical value such as commitment to client was breached.
Since its startup in 2005 its mission to disrupt the slow moving world of health care by providing a free service of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to doctors and their facilities. This system will benefit doctors by cutting down cost, decrease medical errors, decrease mishandled or forgotten messages. It will help the overall goal of medical errors.

Micromedex is one of the electronic sources that will help me in prescribing medications. Micromedex medication instructions deliver a single source of evidence- based patient education materials. It provides customized medication information, easily understood by any patient, including indications, contraindications, usage instructions, precautions, interactions, storage, disposal and side effects for both prescription and non prescription drugs. This source provides health care personnel to benefit from the ability to quickly share information directly in the workflow, throughout the continuum of care.
A recent survey states that around 45% of patients want their doctors to directly exchange their health records. 25% of the patients had to hand-deliver their records to other providers themselves. These findings clearly show that if a patient has multiple doctors, then sharing of patient data becomes a daunting task. Though recently, the number of organizations adopting EHR has increased, the problem is that these organizations use software that is unable to interface
Electronic health records are essential in allowing physicians to monitor their patients’ health, notice trends, and potentially prevent hospital readmissions, quickly diagnose diseases, and reduce medical errors. This is the first in a series of blog posts where we ask the question “What is Meaningful Use of an EHR?” In this post, we interview a physician at a family practice to learn more about how he is meaningfully using his EHR to coordinate patient care, prevent a hospital readmission and ultimately improve patient health. On the day we spoke, Dr. Frank Maselli of Riverdale Family Practice in the Bronx had just finished seeing 30 patients.
MTM is used to describe the broad range of health care services provided by pharmacists. These services include comprehensive medication reviews, medication reconciliation, drug use review, the ordering and review of lab tests, immunizations, drug dosage adjustments, and identification of gaps in care. Integrated systems of care, such as accountable care organizations (ACOs), already view MTM as essential to care delivery and to meeting ACO quality and cost targets. Such organizations also are heavily invested in HIT, including e-prescribing and EHRs. MTM can improve medication adherence and patient outcomes among patients suffering from chronic diseases, thus cutting costs and improving the quality of care and patient
EHRs enables physicians to access patient information anywhere from devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. This can lead to increased risk of patient data being given into the wrong hands. Providers need to be cautious and make sure that patients are receiving information via email or text message
Electronic Health Records and Patient Confidentiality Technology has become an essential part of our everyday life therefore, it makes sense that doctors and hospitals get rid of the old fashioned paper charting and use technology to access patient records. Electronic health records (EHR) provide quick access to information, as doctors no longer have to wait for other providers to fax previous records to them. The accessibility of Electronic Health Records assist medical providers to make quick medical care decisions, by accessing previous care provided to patients including treatment and diagnosis. Quick access to information through EHR enables health care providers to treat patients faster as there is no need for records to be mailed or
From the moment a patient drops off a script to the moment they pick up medication, technology is utilized in the pharmacy. RxConnect, a popular information system utilized in many pharmacies, is an electronic medical record vendor that features e-prescribing in its software. Incorporating systems such as RxConnect into the pharmacy allows for drastically reduced patient wait time, a general decrease in drug errors as well as easy storage of medical data. While such a system greatly expedites pharmacy workflow, there are still shortcomings that need to be addressed. A bulk of the issues involved with such systems stem from the lack of compatibility between various medical systems.
Secondly, the way the resident receives his medications should consist of the CM stating what each of the medications are so the resident is aware what he is taking. By implementing this, the CM can do the final check of administering the medications. If the medications themselves could be barcoded and scanned in before popping the medication in the medication cup, this would help the CM double check the five rights as well. A bar-code electronic medical administration record (eMAR) technology associates several technologies into the medication administration process to provide the correct medication, dose, time, route, and patient. This technology will provide an additional check and implement safety (Poon et al., 2010).
Most people don’t think to worry or wonder where all of their information goes when they visit the doctor’s office, or how the doctor knew things about them from several years ago. They don’t ask the question especially when they go to a new doctor who knows the same thing about them that they’ve never talked about. Electronic Health Records, also known as EHR’s, are becoming some of the most important parts of medical offices around the country and are advancing more and more each day. Ever since the 80’s, EHR’s were being designed and formed, but not until 2009, when the HITECH Act came out, did they start becoming of key importance to the health care market. As they keep growing more and more each day, EHR’s are becoming vital to patient health.
In the above figure the payment process of prescription drugs in the retail industry of U.S has been depicted. Differential pricing of drugs in the market has been a major feature of the industry. As the cash payers who purchased their prescription drugs at the retail stores pays higher prices and the institutional buyers pays less for the prescription drugs than did the retail outlets. This market segmentation among buyers of prescription drugs has caused a constitutional change in the health care market. Thus, it can be concluded that the pricing structure of prescription drugs in the retail drug store industry of U.S is mainly based on the buying power, institutional structure and market forces (Frank, 2013).
