potential situations where therapy, safety or costs can be improved.
P-Care is used to:
- Provide a concise display of patient demographic data, laboratory data, microbiology data, medication information, parenteral nutrition information and drug levels.
- Identify patients whose medication therapy requires
a pharmacist's daily review.
- Identify and review treatments that are inconsistent
with established medication rule-based algorithms.
- Document pharmacist-performed clinical activities,
interventions and monitoring notes.
- Provide a forum for pharmacists, pharmacy residents
and pharmacy students to communicate pertinent patient-specific,
medication-related issues.
