Healthcare continues to reach new heights with the goal to improve the lives of our patients. However, one major issues continues to be overlooked… medications. Still, despite widespread access to EHRs, over 60% of medication records are inaccurate (over 90% in ER settings). Over one million of our patients land in the ER each year as a direct result of medication problems, and millions of others are needlessly overmedicated. Over 50% of patients who take medication receive a prescription from at least 2 providers, and administrative demands leave primary care physicians without adequate time to complete a thorough medication reconciliation.The second line of defense, pharmacies, work hard to ensure safe and effective use of medication. However, they are often understaffed and lack adequate resources to provide services designed to truly optimize therapy. Payers often require patients to use up to three DIFFERENT pharmacies (retail, specialty, and mail order), depending on the situation. Ultimately many patients feel rushed, intimidated, and confused. At best, they're left to wonder, am I really taking the medications that are best for me? My Med Rating is the simplest medication solution on the market. We allow patients to come to their next appointment with an accurate medication list in hand, reviewed by a licensed, clinical pharmacist. Our pharmacist's comments are designed to facilitate shared decision making, are actionable, and provide peace of mind. Reach out at providers@mymedrating.com for more info.
