Enhance safety. Improve outcomes. Stay compliant.

Compliance

At Streu’s Pharmacy we offer structured medication review services designed for long-term care settings. Here’s our process:

How We Work with Facilities

  1. Initial one-on-one‑ review
    One of our pharmacists meets with the resident (or their responsible caregiver/facility nurse) to review every current medication, including prescription, over the counter supplements to assess for appropriateness, interactions, duplications and ‑long-term need.
  1. Collaborative recommendations
    After the review, we will deliver a concise report of our findings and suggested medication adjustments. We work directly with the prescriber, facility nursing staff and care team to implement safe changes.
  1. Ongoing monitoring & follow-up
    We establish a schedule for periodic reviews to help meet your regulatory expectations and maintain resident safety.

  2. Facility compliance support
    We provide documentation of the review and recommendations, which your facility can include in resident charts or quality assurance audits. This assists with regulatory and survey readiness‑ requirements related to medication reviews and proper oversight.

Why a Medication Review Matters

Complex medication regimens are common — especially in long-term care settings. Many residents may be taking multiple medications prescribed by multiple providers, with varying degrees of oversight. A comprehensive medication review helps:

  • Confirm each medication is still necessary, at the correct dose and matched to the resident’s current condition.
  • Identify potential drug–drug interactions, adverse side effects or duplicate therapies.
  • Reduce the risk of hospitalization, falls, adverse events and regulatory citations.
  • Support facility compliance with state or federal requirements for medication regimen review and documentation.

Our medication reviews include the mandatory CBRF annual review and quarterly psychotropic review.

What We Address

During each medication review we assess key questions including:

  • Are all current medications still necessary?
  • Are the dosages appropriate given the resident’s age, kidney/liver function, comorbidities?
  • Are any medications simply treating side effects‑ of other medications (medication cascade)?
  • Are there any potentially dangerous interactions, duplications or medications that may increase risks (e.g., falls, sedation, cognitive decline)?
  • Are there opportunities to reduce polypharmacy, streamline the regimen or more closely align with current best practices?

Benefits for Facilities & Residents

  • Enhanced resident safety and quality of care.
  • Reduced risk of medication-related‑ adverse events (e.g., falls, hospital transfers).
  • Support for facility compliance and documentation standards related to medication management.
  • More effective collaboration among pharmacy, prescribers and facility care teams.
  • Peace of mind for facility staff, residents and families that medications are being appropriately reviewed and managed.
