How often should a Medication Manager review a client's medication list?

A Medication Manager should review a client's medication list at least every 90 days to ensure ongoing safety and efficacy of the medication regimen. This regular review is critical for identifying potential issues, such as medication interactions, side effects, or changes in the client’s health status that may necessitate adjustments in their medications. Regular evaluations help to maintain an accurate and up-to-date record, which supports better clinical decision-making and enhances patient care.

Conducting medication reviews on a quarterly basis aligns with best practices in medication management, allowing for timely updates and proactive interventions. This frequency reflects a balance between monitoring and the dynamic nature of many clients' health needs, rather than relying solely on client-initiated requests or infrequent assessments such as annually or weekly, which could either miss important updates or be unnecessarily burdensome without a specific need.
