Obtaining a comprehensive patient history can prove to be challenging when patient records are inaccessible or incomplete, and patients are unable to recall or provide key information. It is not uncommon for pharmacists to approach other healthcare providers, access health records or contact the patient’s family member/carer for further clarification.
This CPD accredited course discusses how digital health tools, such as My Health Record and the my health app, can be utilised to support pharmacists in conducting medication reviews.
The course is divided into four topics:
- Pharmacist medication reviews (10 m)
- My Health Record & Medication Reviews (20 m)
- The my health app as a tool to empower patients (15 m)
- Benefits of digital health tools to support pharmacist medication review processes (10 m)
The course content and assessment should take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
