What is one responsibility of a Medication Manager during patient assessments?

A primary responsibility of a Medication Manager during patient assessments is to collect detailed information about the patient's history. This includes not only the medication history but also aspects such as medical conditions, allergy status, lifestyle factors, and social determinants of health that may impact the patient's medication management. Gathering comprehensive information is crucial for developing an effective and personalized medication plan.

This extensive assessment allows the Medication Manager to identify potential drug interactions, duplications in therapy, and any contraindications that could arise from the patient's overall health profile. Comprehensive data collection also fosters a collaborative relationship between the patient and the Medication Manager, enhancing the quality of care and patient engagement in their treatment plan.
