Shared medication reviews, we must start in 2018!
Gathered on September 11, Section A of the Order of Pharmacists, representative unions, groups, the APR and students launched an appeal: ” Shared medication review, we must start in 2018! »
The training rooms are full throughout France. The Ameli Pro site is finally operational and functioning correctly. Doctors have been made aware by Health Insurance.
Pharmacists already involved are satisfied with the process. She allowed them to strengthen ties with their patients and initiate inter-professional exchanges very constructive. Pharmacists also work in cooperation with attending physicians to secure the care pathway for elderly polymedicated patients and improve their adherence to treatment.
This new dynamic is beneficial for patients because it strengthens the proper use of the drug and will reduce hospitalizations linked to iatrogenic accidents.
The future generation of pharmacists is particularly motivated by this evolution of the profession, centered on clinical pharmacy, and strengthening the attractiveness of our profession.
The terms of remuneration are facilitated. The identification of ineligible patients has been improved.
Pharmacies will be remunerated in April 2019, including those that would begin the reviews in the second half of 2018 and finalize them in 2019. Shared medication reviews represent an element of growth to be taken into account!
Many regional unions of health professionals (URPS) and several pharmacy groups have built supports to support pharmacies and their teams in setting up and deploying shared medication reviews under good conditions.
The objectives of the Health Insurance (20 reports per year and per dispensary) are accessible to all. Some pharmacies exceed the 50 assessments carried out in their confidentiality space, in EHPADs or at the patient’s home.
All the representatives of the profession invite dispensing pharmacists to get involved now and to develop shared medication reviews. The stake, as you will have understood, is collective as much as individual!
Everything is in place for pharmacies to take on this new mission!
