MedNovations connects directly to your hospital via a secure Internet connection to provide you with complete pharmacy assistance whenever and however needed. This includes thorough investigation and follow-up of high risk orders and interventions. The MedNovations up-link allows our pharmacists access to patient specific laboratory data, medication orders and medical history quickly, optimizing your patient’s drug therapy. Our clinically trained licensed pharmacists review each order for appropriateness and can enter them into your order entry system. This review is essential for safety, quality care, accurate billing, implementation of electronic MAR, automated profile systems, and bar coding.
