What it means
Medication management is a clinical service in which a physician, pharmacist, or advanced practice provider reviews all of a patient's current medications to ensure they are appropriate, effective, safe, and being used correctly. It is particularly important for patients taking multiple medications, those with chronic conditions, and older adults at risk of drug interactions or side effects. During a medication management visit, the provider may adjust doses, discontinue unnecessary drugs, add new treatments, and educate the patient about proper use and potential interactions. This service helps prevent medication errors and hospitalizations caused by drug-related problems.
