Medication Management Clinic

The Pardee Hospital Pharmacy Medication Management Clinic is committed to helping improve your quality of life through our programs. This clinic’s programs help you self-manage your medications while ensuring the medications are safe, effective, and affordable. We want to help you reach your health goals.

If there is not an ambulatory clinical pharmacist in your primary care provider’s office, this clinic’s pharmacists work closely with your primary care and specialist providers to optimize the medications that they prescribe. We are experts in medications and can answer any questions you may have about your medication therapy.

Antithrombotic (Blood Thinners) Management

Normally, blood flows through our arteries and veins smoothly and efficiently but if a clot, also known as a thrombus, blocks the smooth flow of blood, the result can be serious and even cause death. Diseases arising from clots in blood vessels include heart attack and stroke, among others. There is an array of medications that can be used to prevent and treat clots, known as antithrombotic medications. The most common are warfarin, Eliquis®, Xarelto®, and Savaysa®. Our antithrombotic management service works with your whole healthcare team to manage your blood thinner by:

• Checking necessary labs associated with your blood thinner (sometimes as a finger stick with a fast result)
• Checking for drug interactions with your blood thinner
• Helping with the cost of your blood thinner
• Adjusting your blood thinner as needed
• Teaching you how to safely manage your blood thinner at home, in between visits with the pharmacist

Heart Failure Medication Management

When you develop heart failure, your heart needs support to pump blood around your body. There are medications that can help you to feel better, keep you out of the hospital, and even prolong your life. Through our Heart Failure Medication Management program, we partner with your primary care provider and cardiologist to safely start and adjust doses of these medications. We provide extensive education on heart failure, lifestyle adjustments, and medications. We also make sure you can afford these medicines and take them as they are prescribed.

Referral Process

After you are diagnosed with a condition by a provider, if you are then prescribed medication for that condition, if applicable that provider can send a referral to Pardee Hospital Pharmacy Medication Management Clinic.

If you are interested in medication management services and your provider does not mention it as an option, you can ask that provider to contact the program manager at (828) 694-7650. Currently, we are only offering the antithrombotic management service, but plan to offer additional medication management services in the future.
