Home Medicines Review
The HMR Program is to support the quality use of medicines and reduce medication misadventure, by assisting Patients to better manage and understand their medicines through a medication review conducted by an Accredited Pharmacist in the Patient’s home based on the referral from doctor.
The objectives of a HMR are to:
- Support safe, effective, and appropriate use of medicines
- Detect and address medicine-related problems that interfere with desired Patient outcomes
- Improve the Patient’s quality of life and health outcomes using a best practice approach, which involves collaboration between the Referrer, GP (if this is not the Referrer) Pharmacist, other relevant health professionals and the Patient (and where appropriate, their carer)
- Improve the Patient’s, and health professional’s understanding of the medicines the Patient is taking
- Facilitate collaborative working relationships between members of the health care team in the best interests of Patient health and wellbeing
- Provide medication information to the Patient and other health care providers involved in the Patient’s care.
