Rationale

' + '
' + '' + "

Medication synchronization allows the alignment of refill dates for all of a patient's chronic medications to a single date. This process serves as a built-in refill reminder and allows the consolidation of all the patient's medications to drive the efficient use of dose reminder packaging, if applicable. Medication synchronization also allows a pharmacy to adopt an appointment-based model to schedule patient care services around the pick-up or delivery date. A recent study of a community pharmacy-based medication synchronization program showed an additional 84 days of therapy, raising percent of days covered from the low 60-percentile to the mid 80-percentile range.

" + '

This QII enables the pharmacy to see how effectively they are engaging their target population in the medication synchronization program.
