Why Do a Medication Management Review?

A Medication Management Review is a government-funded, patient-focused collaborative service used to assist the quality use of medicines. The review involves a GP consultation to generate the referral, a pharmacist interview with the patient, a clinical assessment by the pharmacist and a written report back to the GP. Many physical and cognitive factors impact on the likelihood of a person gaining maximum benefit from their medicines: hearing, sight, dexterity, confusion, multiple medicines, multiple prescribers, and complementary therapies. A Medication Management Review can help patients manage their medicines better and get the most benefit from their medicines.

Know your patient’s medicines

Medication Management Reviews will provide you with comprehensive, up-to-date information about the medicines, complementary products, over-the-counter medicines, devices and other prescriptions being used by your patient. Your patient will receive assistance with medications, aids and devices to improve compliance, and early detection and management of medicine-related problems. The process (Medicare Item 900) involves two consultations for the GP; one to identify potential patients and arrange for the review, and a second consultation after the pharmacist’s interview and report to discuss the findings and implement any action..
