Stay Viable and Vital in a Changing Marketplace
Profile Reviews vs. Full Chart Reviews
Full chart reviews are a pharmacist’s 360-degree examination of a person’s fall risk, behavioral factors, need for continued medications, and compliance to health care provider instructions. A profile review is a pharmacist’s evaluation and recommendation on a resident’s medication profile only. Morton LTC pharmacists are dedicated to completing full chart reviews to improve quality, overall resident care, and compliance with Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regulations.
Attentive Transitions of Care
Morton LTC, a respected health care leader within the regional long term care market, has come to know the individual needs of patients and residents who move between levels of care. Our pharmacists readily assist with attentive transitions of care to help decrease rates of rehospitalization, improve resident quality of life, and contain costs. Personal care pays.
