What Is Medication Synchronization?

A large percentage of Americans take several different medications throughout the month, and this number is significantly higher when it comes to patients who live in assisted/supported living agencies.  Medication synchronization, also called med sync, is a program we offer at West TN Pharmaceutical Care to help synchronize your medication refills, so we may deliver all routine medications on a single day each month.  We automatically set up each patient for medication synchronization unless agency request to opt out of med sync.

How Does Med Sync Work?

To start, the pharmacist reviews a patient’s list of prescriptions to get a comprehensive idea of the medications that patient takes, and when. Then, the pharmacist works on a med sync program for that patient to organize all of their medications for the month. We can do this for all of your patients who take multiple medications. Once your med sync programs are finalized, you set a date that fits your schedule for us to deliver all of the medications in just one delivery. For added convenience, schedule a routine delivery with us to have medications delivered right to your agency in and around the Jackson, TN, area.

How Does Med Sync Keep Patients Organized?

Med sync helps keep you and your patients organized because you will always have access to all necessary medications – in one place. Med sync works even better when medication is packaged in blister cards to make things easier for patients. Because medications are presorted into the correct dosages, it takes the guesswork out of administration.

What Are the Benefits of Medication Synchronization?

One of the biggest benefits of med sync is that it eliminates the need for multiple deliveries from the pharmacy each month for just one patient. When the patient’s medications are synchronized and packaged, we simply make one delivery to your agency.

Medication synchronization also reduces the chance of a patient’s medication schedule being disrupted. Adherence is important when it comes to certain types of medication, and well-being can be severely impacted if medicine is missed for even a day or two. When medications are synchronized and collected together on a schedule, there is a lower risk of nonadherence as a supply will always be available.

When you operate an agency that takes care of many patients, it can sometimes be challenging to keep track of each patient’s supply of the various medications they use. Through med sync at West TN Pharmaceutical Care, we help you stay on top of medications.
