In-Service Training Programs. The Company provides in-service training programs delivered by its long-term care pharmacists. These pharmacists regularly conduct training and education programs for other health professionals to improve drug therapy in the long-term care facility. These programs include training nurses to monitor patient outcomes, identify side effects of medications, and administer residents' drugs properly; discussing drug-food interactions with dietitians; educating staff on the most efficient procedures for handling medications and medication records; and other programs. Continuous Quality Improvement Programs (CQI) - RXFS pharmacists participate in continuous quality improvement programs with the facility. CQI programs allow pharmacists a vehicle to monitor the complete system of medication delivery to the patient. By establishing and monitoring indicators of service, they ensure that safe and cost-effective medication ordering, supply, storage, and administration continues. This prevents medication errors and controls health care costs. Interdisciplinary Care Planning - Interdisciplinary care planning brings health professionals together on a regular basis to discuss the care of individual patients. The Company’s long-term care pharmacists offer their assessment of residents' drug therapy and therapeutic goals and can learn from physicians, nurses, dietitians, and others about patients' conditions and progress. Interdisciplinary care planning brings the patients' medical records to life; it permits everyone who cares for a specific patient to discuss conditions and behaviors that a medical record alone cannot capture.
