After falling three times in August, participant AV reported three more falls in October, one of which resulted in a major injury for which she required surgery. The PACE Medical Director then requested a Falls Assessment from the CareKinesis clinical pharmacist. While not one specific medication on AV's profile was obviously problematic, the CareKinesis pharmacist did have medication safety recommendations for the PACE participant.
Did you know that CareKinesis PharmDs provide comprehensive Falls Assessments for participants who experience multiple falls? Request more information from your Client Liaison, or email us today.
