“Globally, medication-related errors are responsible for 5% to 41.3% of all hospital admissions and 22% of readmissions after discharge. The incidence of medication errors is 30% higher in patients who are prescribed five or more drugs and 38% higher in those 75 years or older.”
– National Institute of Health, 2024
Why HMRs?
Importance of HMRs
Approximately 50% of older adults are consuming medications that are either harmful or unnecessary.
Polypharmacy patients are at greater risk
Medication-related issues make up 2.5% of hospitalisations, amounting to $1.4 billion in healthcare costs.
How it works
Identifying eligible patients
Cubiko software identifies eligible patients for HMRs each day.
Chemist2U patient recall
Chemist2U sends an SMS to eligible patients, who then book a consult with their GP.
Consults
The GP refers the patient for an HMR as appropriate. Referrals are sent to Chemist2U via HealthLink.
Pharmacist allocation and HMR
Chemist2U assigns an HMR pharmacist who contacts the patient to schedule and conduct a comprehensive HMR in the patient’s home.
HMR report sent to GP
A detailed report is written and sent to the referring GP via HealthLink.
Medication plan and item number claim
The GP collaborates with the patient to create a medication plan and can claim item number 900 as per the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) requirements.
What happens in an HMR?
- An HMR pharmacist will assess the patient’s medications to ensure they are safe, effective, and not causing any harmful interactions.
- They will evaluate whether any medications need to be changed for any reason.
- The review includes checking that medications are being taken correctly, stored properly, and have not passed their use-by date.
- The pharmacist then shares their findings with the GP, including an overview of the patient’s medication regimen and their capacity to manage medications.
Our Vision
“We are creating a digital pharmacy experience that breaks down the silos between general practice and
community pharmacy.
Chemist2U’s Patient Medication Support is a digital pharmacy solution that deepens patient relationships, improves health outcomes and increases practice revenue.”
