The monitor/evaluate activity was often used to inform the other medication communication activities for medication decision-making; and ● Coordinate communication focuses on the coordination of medication information between roles, e.g., an MOA transmitting a request for information between a pharmacist and a family physician.
The proposed plan includes CIT training for officers, centers that police can take people suffering from mental illness to, instead of taking them to jail, and much better coordination of medication management.
On the one hand, the team was able to draw from the various resources in the hospital setting to strengthen the service it provided, such as access to day centres, occupational therapy assessments and coordination of medication issuing.
In addition to the activities that could be mapped to the medication management framework (determine need, prescribe, dispense, administer, monitor/evaluate), we identified Coordination of medication information as a key recurrent activity that may have been previously overlooked.
It seems, however, that better coordination of medication within and across sectors, faster correction of medication errors and earlier identification of potential drug interacttions are benefits that may to some degree be achieved without the registration of all personal medication information (cf. below).
It seems that partial access will – at least to some extent – allow for better coordination of medication within and across sectors, faster correction of medication errors, earlier identification of potential interactions, and also lead to reduced waste of the resources going into the parallel development and maintenance of separate information systems in the health care sector.
Less is known about coordination of medications in the outpatient setting.
The GP can contact the specialist...The coordination of the medication regime of different disciplines is a tough job... ........ (12) When the patient has been admitted to hospital it is important to re-evaluate the medication schedule.
This may subsequently inform inter-professional coordination of further inpatient medication management, paying particular attention to poly-medicated and/or surgically treated patients as a possible means to rationalize improvement efforts.
Chief among these priorities was coordination of services and alignment of Medication Assisted Treatment with clinical behavioral health services such as counseling and intensive outpatient programs.
